 1.  Programs  


 

 

•                     Theme -  Tuch came up with a theme that everyone liked.  “Getting down to business”.

•                     Cover - Using the theme, have Varsity or 12th grade basketball players where a shirt, Tie and blazer with shorts and tennis shoes.  Have them sitting at a desks in school would be good.  Tuch will see what he can come up with.

•                     The front and back of the program will be in color.


 

 

•                     Ads - Kim said there are some businesses that we still need money and/or the ad. 


 

 

•                     Denise, Jane and Jeff will be going to see the printer very soon to start the layout. 

•                     Jane went through pricing and printing timelines.  It will take a total of 3-4 weeks to print the programs.  It is best to over print as it will cost more to reprint and the turnaround time is about three weeks.

•                     It was decided that we will order 1,000 programs.

•                     Everyone agreed to charge at least a $1.00 per program.  FINAL?

•                     We plan to put the CP and the opposing team line up’s in the programs.

•                     We plan to publish at least two youth nights in the program.

•                     Tuch is planning to have basketball pictures taken the last week in November.  He will get pictures put on a CD to so that we can get them in the Program.  It will take about 3-5 days to finalize the program after getting the pictures.

•                     Tuch will get a Profile/Letter from the Principal and the Activities Director.  He will also get Bio’s on the Coaches.

•                     Reminder - Parents will have an opportunity to write a note to their boys in the basketball program.  The cost will be $25.00.  Tuch is planning a parents meeting and Denise thought a booster club representative should be there to inform everyone about the Booster Club and program opportunities, which include a parents note and if anyone owns a business or knows someone that owns a business that would like to place an ad.
