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.
