The Page High Athletic Sports Booster Club met on Monday, March 16^th, 2009 in the library.  Those present at the meeting were:

Chris Ladd – Boys Basketball                                    Tina Mihacsi – Treasurer

                                                                        Sheila Pitts – Secretary

 

Mark Mutz opened the meeting.  He stated we needed to get all sports involved in the booster club & that we needed to get parent reps. from each sport also.  He expressed concerns on previous attempts for fundraising.  Coach Daniels spoke briefly about his involvement with Ravenwood & Brentwood’s athletic booster clubs.  Mr. Lifsey spoke about his involvement with Centennial.  One suggestion that Mr. Lifsey had was selling advertising banners to hang in the gym & on the athletic fields. 

 

Diane Giddens spoke of another fundraising idea.  The William Co. Fair, which is being held August 7-15, 2009, has fundraising opportunities by operating the large concessions stand at the Ag Park.  We would need to stock the concession stand so there would be an out-of pocket expense at the beginning.  In order to be successful with this fundraiser, there would have to be solid firm commitments from parents to help work & run the concession stand.  She sent an email to Coach Daniels with the fair hours of operation.  This email was forwarded to all of the coaches.  The coaches will need to get back with Coach Daniels or Mark Mutz with their numbers of commitment before we can pursue this fundraiser. 

 

Mark Mutz stated that we needed nominations for the new board.  These positions will be open for nomination until March.31^st.  He emailed all of the coaches asking for their help.

 

Tina Mihacsi reported the treasury report.  The balance is $38,247.17.  The breakdown is as follows:

 

Baseball-$6,217.68, Basketball Cheeerleading-$337.50,Boys Basketball-$2,877.63, Boys Soccer-$1,379.74, Cross Country-$50.00, Football-$14,405.98, Football Cheerleading-$0.00, Girls Basketball-$1,466.36, Girls Soccers-$1,367.93, Golf-$80.00, Hockey-$642.18, Softball-$2,069.91, Tennis-$0.00, Track-$41.16,Volleyball-$2,302.93, Wrestling-$972.42, General Booster Fund-$4,035.75

 

There was an inquiry on the booster club’s mission statement and how the booster club benefited the sports programs at PHS.  The General Booster fund has contributed to several sports.  Items purchased under the current officers are as follows:

-          Gator & Tractor repairs were $1,388.20.  The general fund contributed $694.10.  This would benefit all outdoor sports because several use this equipment.

-          Vertec Machine was purchased for $599.27.  The general fund contributed $279.63.  The sports that would primarily use this equipment are football, basketball and volleyball.

-          Ice Machine was purchased for $2,854.00.  The general fund contributed $612.33.  This benefits all outdoor sports.

The following are fundraisers that have been implemented in the last several months:

     -     KROGER Care Cards – We are starting to receive checks from this fundraiser. 

      We will be sending out a report reflecting which sports will receive portions of

            the checks.  Please remember, the cost of each card ($5.00) and the administrative

fee (10% up to $250.00 per year, per sport) will be deducted from each       participating sport.  The $250.00 administrative fee will be credited back to the general booster fund. 

-          YTB Website –To check out this website, please go to www.ytbtravel.com/phsbc

We haven’t received any royalties from this fundraiser yet. This is a great way to 

 plan a trip and at the same time, help out the booster club.

                                              

Information for these fundraisers was mentioned in the August 25, 2008 minutes.  We are currently working on a PHS Booster Website.  Mr. Walter McCord has been kind enough to help us with the undertaking.  You can check what we have accomplished so far by going to www.phsathleticboosterclub.com.  This website will contain meeting minutes, by-laws, mission statement, contacts… (Please remember, it’s still under construction).

 

Since we had several new people at the meeting & other questions regarding the booster club, I have attached copies of the minutes that I have taken, the bylaws, the athletic booster membership form.  All of these have been sent out before but I thought it might help anyone with questions or those who are not familiar with the booster club.  Attached you’ll also find the Page High Athletic Booster Club Mission Statement.  I am sorry I couldn’t provide the mission statement at the meeting.  We have also been working on it so we could put it on our website & since I didn’t have it written down, I couldn’t remember all of it.  I don’t know how everyone else is but if things aren’t always in front of me, I can sometimes forget them.  I hope this information helps everyone and if you can, please pass on the word.  I have enjoyed being the secretary for the last two years but with my son being a senior next year, it’s time for someone else to take over.  Thanks for your help and support!  The next meeting has been tentatively scheduled for August 17, 2009.
