Special Activities: 

• Denise said it is going well with the people that have been coordinating.  Do we need new coordinators each game?  Everyone agreed to continue with the current coordinators. 

•We still need help/coordinators for the ½ time events.  What to do, etc..

•Carla has been doing a great job with the sponsorship role and will continue this role.

•Jane will create a poster to check out our sponsors!    

•Nancy will e-mail Kim and Kris to see if they have ½ time covered for the Saturday game, 1-27-07.

•Parent and Senior night - Denise will e-mail the coach to see what involvement, if any, he wants the Booster Club to have.  If yes, we would like feedback, from coaches, captains and players on what they would like.

•Link Crew night - Did not get a lot of 9th graders there as we thought.  What can we do better to promote this?           

•mailto:freewags@aol.comPlan to have autograph night, post game, on 2-9-07.  Nancy/Pat will ask Coach Tuch if they can have their meeting after autographs, otherwise most people don’t stick around. Jeff M will create a flyer to send to all the coaches (CDAA, CPTBA, etc...) for kids to bring their programs for autographs.  Al suggested that we include “While quantities last”, in the flyer.  Jeff will coordinate this.  Denise suggested that we give each of the coaches a program to show their players.

• Band/Music - Steve will continue to play music.  He will start setting up behind the score table.  This should spread the music better.  Steve will let Mr. Penny know that he can use his microphone.     

•  National Anthem - Ron said he has spots open.  Denise and Al will talk to a friend of theirs, Tom, to see if he would like to sing at the 1-18-07 game.

Evaluation Form - Refer to the next page.

Denise mentioned that we will have a separate meeting to evaluate the Booster Club program.  Denise put together an evaluation sheet.  We took some time to talk about each of the items.  Everyone was asked to take the evaluation with them to complete and return. 

 

Denise asked if we should contact some parents of the girls team to see if they would like to have a combined basketball booster club for the boys and girls?  Jeff Munneke will see if one of the parents would join us at our next booster club meeting.
