Meeting Called to order 7:09pm • Quorum was established with 10 Members in attendance (including Mrs. Martin) as well as two student Officers.
1. Approval of minutes from last meeting, October 2010 - Melissa Ripley made a motion to approve the minutes from the October Meeting. The motion was seconded by Nancy Lesky. A vote was taken and passed unanimously. The motion carried.
2. Treasurer's report-Gay Burns - Gay’s father passed away. We should add $200 to last report until we can get a new report.
3. Fundraising - We have placed a second order of T-shirts and Mrs. Martin has delivered them. We do not intend to order more shirts at this time. We can order more around the time of the banquet from the same company.
-Cookbook update. Close to completion. The cookbook will go to press November 15th and it can take up to 2 weeks to print. We had a setback getting artwork releases.
Need a volunteer to put together award certificates for the artwork winners.
Vote on presenting the 9 artwork winners with a complimentary cookbook (our cost $5 each = $45 ). Becky Goodman volunteered to make the certificates for the artwork winners. Ann Dachniwsky made a motion to approve spending $45 for the cookbook winners to be presented with a complimentary cookbook. Maria Quinn seconded. A vote was taken and passed unanimously. The motion carried.
4. Directory Update-Tracey Shuck - Student Phonebook will be completed after Tracey finishes the cookbook. We left off a check mark for the home phone number to be published so an email with the request for permission will have to go out first.
- Booster Board name tags - Melissa Ripley volunteered to search for inexpensive nametag sleeves and print inserts.
6. Student idea: CMA yearbook - this may be too big of an undertaking. The idea to put the Banquet Slide Show on a CD was a more popular idea.
7. The executive board members and parent class reps below who are present will give an update.
- Second Vice President (Volunteers): Nancy Lesky - Nancy had nothing to report for volunteers.
- Third Vice President (Internships & Summer Volunteers): Dawn Schindler - Internships are a work in progress. She is getting new physicians in. If you know of anyone that might be willing to take internships please let her know. As the program is growing, we will need to possibly think outside the box. Ideas for possible internships Chiropractors, Orthodontist, Dentists, Veterinarians, Medical Research, Surgeons of all kinds, possibly Surgical Sales that go into the Operating Rooms. For Spring Internships we have to consider hours the students are available. Dawn would like representatives from the Sophomore and Freshman classes to join the committee because she will not be here next year and wants to make sure all classes are aware of what goes into the process.
- Fifth Vice President (Special Events-Professionals Breakfast and Parent Activities): Melissa Ripley - Physician’s Breakfast is Thursday, February 17th at St. John’s Baptist Church between Dawson and Crooked Lane. The venue is free but we intend to make a donation. 7:30-8am Set up. 8:15-8:30am start rotations. Invitations will be sent out. Melissa currently has approximately 10 volunteers to help.
Next parent activity is Dec 9th at Noon at Central Market
- Sixth Vice President (Mentor/Mentee Program): Cathy Hendrickson - the mentor/mentee meeting just before Halloween had a conflict with another event but those that attended enjoyed that it was a smaller group.
- Seventh Vice President (Liaison to Student Board): Maria Quinn - asked the Student Officers to keep her apprised of anything new.
- Sophomore Parent Representatives: Nancy Lesky and Patty Willis - upcoming event is picnic in the park on Nov 13th.
- Senior Parent Representative: Ann Dachniwsky and Grace Dotson - seniors will have paint ball in the winter and Laser Tag in the Spring.
