DIRECTOR’S REPORT

·        Thanks to everyone for making the trip a success and especially to Mike for saving us so much money

·        Trying to book trip for next year now so we can use as incentive for increased participation in fundraising, trip attendance and motivation for freshman coming in.

·        Cannot have the car wash as planned since the lacrosse team is having one at the school that weekend.  Still the possibility of have a yard sale and selling hot dogs during.  Need to look into further

·        Jeannine will look into Wawa hoagie coupons as a fundraiser.  Plan to hand out May 15 if it’s a go

·        Budget failed approval – will not know what our budget is until that is approved, hopefully by the end of the school year.

 

Home Show (10/18/08)

·        Once Indoor Percussion is done we need to concentrate on the Home Show.  Should have at least 10-12 bands to participate.  Need Chair and to start forming committees, especially advertising and the program.

·        The School is looking into the gate issue that we write about after our first show.  They are getting bids and are pursuing further

 

Indoor

·        Chapter Championships at Timber Creek 4/27

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS

 

Fundraising

·        Spring Plant Sale

o       Michelle and Kathleen will handle

o       Forms to go out 4/24, due date is the 12th, delivery 22nd

·        Jeannine working on Wawa sandwich coupons

·        Other fundraising ideas – sell hot dogs after SAT testing days

·        Probably will not have 2 Apex shows in the future.  They have served their purpose by getting our name out there and exposing Kingsway to other schools but the fees will outweigh the profits.  Mr. Henderson put together a breakdown of the costs so the school can see that we are sharing the expenses with Apex.

·        Need to pursue the use of the secondary concession stand during football games

·        Easter flowers sale – Sold $2,673 with a profit of $1,255.50.  Will write a letter to Wawa thanking them for the use of their space to sell the plants.

 

 

 

·        Profits from Shows:

            Jazz                $1,139.56

            Apex 1            1,272.21

            Apex 2            2,406.08

            TOTAL            $4,817.85

 

Nate’s Garden

·        Spring flowers added and school resodded

·        Getting bids for new tree

·        Cindy mentioned a bench she saw at Stechers that would look nice.  Will look into purchasing for the Garden

 

Dragon Run Committee

·        Lauren, Pam, Mike and 2 students are on the Committee which has grown into the community, not just a Booster event.

·        Registration is online

·        We will not go to the football game that day so we can participate in all the Swedesboro Day events

·        The kids can run or walk on their own this year

 

New Business

·        The Sprocks have once again agreed to have their pool party during Band Camp.  It will be Friday, Aug. 22nd

·        Band Camp has been extended this year – full days 8/18-21, 22nd til 12 pool party 1-4 – full days 8/25-26, 27th til 4 pm

·        Al Milsted has a trailer he is donating to band

·        Jeannine suggested we put together a survey for the parents to see how they view the Booster organization.  Hopefully it will help us do things differently to get more parents to volunteer and attend Booster meetings.

·        First reading of a change to the Bylaws to create a position of Corresponding Secretary.  Second reading will be at next scheduled meeting on 5/7/08 then will need to find someone to nominate for that position

 

Motion to adjourn and approved.
