 Danny Searls introduced Renee Rubbo who is volunteering as the new Athletic Boosters President

• Renee spoke briefly about herself, her family and her reasons for volunteering to be the next Athletic Boosters President which is for the students and the opportunities it affords them.

 OLD BUSINESS:

• FUND RAISER REPORT
  • FLOWER SALE – Vicki Seeright
    • Rachel Ballard felt the sale went really well
    • It was much bigger this year
    • The only problems were the number of geraniums per order and missing blue lobelia
      • Rachel picked up the missing plants and delivered them to the students
  • Fund Raisers were explained and how they are for the students to raise money to pay for their band trip each year

• ICE CREAM SOCIAL – Vicki Seeright & Tom Shook
  • $1,186.49 profit
  • Huge turn out
    • There was seating for 300 plus 120 chairs, 70 – 80 chairs on the stage, and people standing
  • Had 21 tubs of ice cream – used all but 4 tubs
  • Ran out of brats & hot dogs
  • Fancy port-a-potty was a bonus
  • Semi trucks great for blocking wind
  • Need to send card of thanks to Emswilers per Jerry Douglas
  • Need 2 food serving tables next year
  • Want to set up night before if possible
  • Vicki thanked Jerry Douglas for all his help
  • Students enjoyed it more this year
  • Mr. Shook’s goal is to enjoy it himself & not feel so stressed
  • Ice Cream Social is always the Sunday after Mother’s Day
  • May want to consider having multiple chair persons next year to handle food, set up and tear down, etc.

• Competition at Licking Heights next year – Tom Shook
  • Randy Young asked if there will be a competition at LH next year – the answer is no
  • No new competitions are being scheduled partly because a couple of schools are scheduled to have competitions and don’t have competition bands
  • Don’t know if or when we will be able to host our own competition
  • It will alleviate other fund raisers to host our own competition
  • There is also risk involved due to weather, but can make a large profit
