CMA Booster Club Minutes - 12/14/10

In attendance were: Natalie Genco, Gay Burns, Becky Goodman, Ann Dachniwsky, Katie Dchniwsky, Melissa Ripley, Reed Ripley, John Kreske, Yash Sidhu and Mrs. Martin. Meeting began at 7:00 p.m.

1. Approval of Minutes from November 9, 2010 Meeting - Gay motioned for approval, and Melissa seconded. Vote was approved by all.

2. Treasurer's Report - Gay reported that the current bank balance is $10,695.08. We have $2,122.52 in expenses yet to be reimbursed, which leaves the final available balance at $8,572.56. We've raised $1670 from the sale of Dragon pinchers, cowbells and cookbooks. Therefore, we should discuss whether we need to do the silent auction at the Awards Banquet. Gay will put together a recommendation for a minimum balance. Natalie and Gay will also put together a draft of a spring budget.

3. Fundraising - We ordered 400 cookbooks, of which 198 were pre-ordered. 70 people have not picked up their cookbooks yet. After the holidays, we will need a volunteer to call people to let them know that they can pick up their cookbooks at the Spirit Shops.

Becky created an appreciation certificate for each of the students whose artwork was put into the cookbook. Principal Giamanco will give these out. Both campuses suggested that we hold an event next year where people cook a sample of the recipe that they submitted for others to taste and sell more cookbooks.

4. Directory Update - Tracey will begin work on the directory after the cookbook is finished.

5. Name Tags - Melissa will get some from Staples and print the inserts.

6. Banquet Update - We still need someone to chair this event. We will send out an email after the new year starts. We discussed using a committee to fill this position. We also need someone to head up the silent auction, if we decide to continue with it. Trusa Patel has volunteered to do the invitations. Natalie will meet with Melissa to go through the items that need to be done for the banquet.

7. Spring Budget - Gay listed some items (scholarships, banquet, physician's breakfast, invitations, and field trips) as potential items for the spring budget. Mrs. Martin also said that there are a couple of charity teams that they're considering. She also needs a print cartridge for the copy machine after Christmas. This will cost around $300 to $400.

John asked whether the laptops had everything loaded yet, and Mrs. Martin reported that they did not due to the changes in technology over the summer and time issues. Natalie suggested that a Comp Sci student may be able to assist. Mrs. Martin said that she expects to have wifi soon (within the next 6-12 months) and will check with the Comp Sci teacher for assistance.

Katie asked for funds for food for the student parties to be held this week. She expects to need about $192. The expenditure was approved to be taken out of the money allocated for Senior class get-togethers.

8. Internships - All of the internship sponsors will be invited to the physician's breakfast. Dawn also needs to meet with Mrs. Martin.

9. Physician's Breakfast - Melissa sent out 70 invitations, and has asked them to RSVP by 12/31/10. The breakfast will be held on 2/17/11 at White Chapel United Methodist Church. The $300 room fee will include setup, projector screen, and coffee. She is working on finding a sponsor to donate breakfast. Gay suggested sending an email to parents to remind them to send in their $25 to help pay for food.

We also need to thank Nelson's in the banquet program this year for donating the food last year. Nelson's thought they were going to receive more advertising than we were able to get them.

Melissa was able to find a vet to attend. Dr. Ruffner from Golden Triangle Animal Hospital will join us. Natalie reported that she had met someone from a 24-hour veterinary hospital, VCA, who is interested in sponsoring an internship. She will pass the card along to Dawn.

10. Parliamentarian - Yash reported that only 4 people showed up at the last parent luncheon. She would like for Board members to RSVP for each event.

11. Junior Parent Representative - Yash reported that the next party for juniors will be in March. They are thinking about doing something at Bicentennial Park.

12. Senior Parent Representative - Ann reported that the seniors are still trying to get together.

13. Student Board - Reed and Katie said that they're planning a holiday picnic. The holiday parties and gift exchanges will be held on Thursday, 12/16/10, and Friday, 12/17/10.

The students are also raising funds and creating cookie plates for the janitors. For every dozen home-made cookies that a student brings in, they get one volunteer hour.

June 8, 2010 CMA Booster Meeting Minutes

June 8, 2010

CMA Booster Club Meeting Minutes

Call to Order - 7:03pm.

Quorum was established with 23 in Attendance

Nancy Lesky made a motion to approve the Minutes from May 2010, Patty Willis seconded. A vote was taken and the Minutes were approved by the majority.

Natalie Genco, President

Old Business:

There were funds that were un-budgeted for that went out in May disbursements. These included pizza for the student picnic ($100), flowers and gift cards for CMA teachers presented at the banquet. An electronic vote went out to board members to approve these expenditures.

The budget was not voted on and will be voted on at the August board meeting.

We received great feedback on the Annual Fundraiser. Everyone agreed that the length was good, some thought the silent auction was better in the hallway. It was suggested that having contact cards for mentor/mentees to trade would be good for the future. The senior table was a big hit.

New Business:

We will be having a vote at our the August meeting on changes that will be made to the Bylaws.

Fall Kick off Planning - The 18th of August from 6-9:30pm. This takes place in the SAC and library. The Boosters will ask parents to bring a dish and the boosters will provide pizza and sodas. We will send out Evites 3 weeks before but first the date needs to be confirmed with Mrs. Martin. All CMA students are invited. This might be the best time to have next board meeting. We may have an officer meeting ahead of time and a quick(1/2 hour) board meeting for all parentss at the beginning of the Fall Kick off.

Possible Fall Fundraiser - Cookbook with possible name of Dragon Food. Would need submission of recipes from students, teachers and families. We would like to have a cook off event in November where all dishes submitted would be brought and voted on. Bring the school as a whole into the process by having a contest for the cover art. Include study tips, conversion charts, etc. Look at getting a few businesses to place ads to cover some of the cost.

* We are looking for a parent with publishing connections to possibly get publishing donated. Reed suggested they could be sold during lunch to students in the SAC. Others felt we need to get pre-orders so we know how many to produce.

We would like to have a CMA speaker in September on the topic of organization or doing well in school. Possibly Dr. Rollins would be willing to speak and we will have onemore speaker in October or November and then 2 more speakers in the spring.

The Incoming Freshman Family BBQ will be at the Genco home tomorrow evening - June 9th. 87 RSVP’s so far. Reed and Katy will be coming. (President and Vice President of student board)

We will be asking each committee to submit a report before each board meeting so that it can be read at the meeting if someone isn’t going to be able to be in attendance. It will be set up in the form of the Agenda and go out with meeting reminders so that everyone is aware of what will be discussed ahead of time.

We will be adding helpful links to the website - Kahn Academy and Carroll Tutors.

Dawn Schindler would like to see the student roster in a printed format. Tracey Shuck had an idea on how to get the information and convert it easily into a phone book using Google Docs. We would like to get ads for this book as well.

• Please join the CMA Parents Facebook site and start conversations going.

Cathy Hendrickson is planning a Mentor/Mentee event for this summer so that students can get to know one another.

We are searching for ideas on where to hold Physician Breakfast. It was at the Town Hall last year and it was too small. White’s Chapel Community Center and Gateway were suggested. We need to be able to have seating for 225-250 people.

.

The Deadline for putting down a deposit on the Spring Cruise is June 15th.

There will be a Sophomore Party at a parent home during the summer.

Adjourned 7:55 pm
