Mrs. DeVore asked Valerie if the scoreboard would reflect weight limits for the wrestling matches.  Valerie responded affirmative.
Valerie answered questions about the ticket sales and stated that the school policy would be to allow children age 10 and under to enter at no charge.  Additionally, Valerie advised that the School Board offers senior passes to home season games for free.  Ms. Harrington would contact Mr. Leon Langley regarding the policy and further discussion of ticket price adjustments would be continued at the next general membership meeting. 
Valerie also noted the requirements of scholar athletes fall under State guidelines that dictate eligible athletes to have at least an 85% overall grade average.  Valerie informed the general members that typically, Junior and Senior level classman were eligible for the Scholar athletic awards. 
Valerie stated that team meetings for winter sports were held and advised a Booster club representative contact each team representative to facilitate communication between the individual teams and the Athletic Booster Club. 
Dr. Brooks noted again the need for a position to be created to help coordinate volunteers for concessions, spirit wear sales and other relative tasks that would help the winter sports program run more smoothly.

Dr. Brooks stated he would investigate these possibilities. 
  1. Business Sponsorship – Laurie Urehek announced that $5,000.00 in business sponsorship had been raised.  Ms. Urehek stated that the advertisement deadlines had been made and thanked all who helped with the creation of the winter sports programs.  Laurie noted that the upcoming SMAC conference to be held at Huntingtown High School would be an excellent opportunity to gain additional business sponsors.  Laurie stated that thank you letters were sent to the sponsors.  Banners were in the process of being produced and an order for the banner hangers had been submitted.  Dr. Brooks requested Laurie to forward information about the business sponsors and digital prints of banner designs for placement on the HHS Athletic Booster Club website.  

 

  1. Scholarship Committee – Claire Piason discussed the various formats, wording, guidelines and questions that would appear on the Athletic Booster Club athletic scholarship application.  The general members discussed some criteria for applicants.  Dr. Brooks suggested that the scholarship applicants should have a family member actively involved in the Booster Club.  Dee Byrne recommended a point system be used to evaluate each applicant.   Valerie Harrington recommended that two scholarship awards be made available.  Ms. Harrington also suggested that the awards not be restricted to one scholarship to each gender.
Ms. Piason stated the form needed to be available around the 1st week of February.  Ms. Piason advised the members she would be out of town for a few weeks following January 1st but encouraged members to e-mail suggestions to clairepiason@comcast.net.  Ms. Piason announced Mrs. Kathleen Cirillo would be helping with the scholarship form and preliminary criteria.  Ms. Piason would e-mail preliminary guidelines and form upon her return.

Also, winter team representatives would need to be identified so that calls could be made to request volunteers for concessions and other needs for the specific sport.
 
New Business – Mr. Steve DeVore requested funds be donated to the Wrestling team for a Spirit pack to include a t-shirt, shorts and a hooded sweatshirt.  Mr. DeVore stated that vendor’s business for the winter caps had dissolved and this created a major problem for the wrestling team fundraiser.  Mr. Devore added that the money donated could be recouped at the wrestling tournament ticket and concession stand sales.
Ms. Debbie Merritt and several other members expressed negative responses to Mr. Devore’s request.  Their main reason being that most members had to pay for their child’s spirit pack with their own money or money gained from concession sales and other volunteer work provided by their team parents and athletes. 
Dr. Brooks reminded the general members that the policy of the Booster club was not to donate cloth items to any team for their specific sport.  The purpose of the Booster Club was to raise funds for equipment and facilities that would benefit all of the athletes.
Ms. Harrington stated that the coaches were instructed to approach her for team specific needs such as Mr. DeVore’s request before making these request to the Booster Club. The general members voted negative to Mr. DeVore’s request.
