CMA Booster Club Meeting
Tuesday, October 11, 2011

The meeting was called to order at 7:03 by Cheryl Salanty, President. In attendance were: S. Nair, A. Nair, B. Goodman, A. Kang, Catie Hendrickson, C. Salanty, S. Everett, S. Patel, P. Hall, K. Hughes, M. Wonson, B. Trivedi, V. Fisher, Cathy Hendrickson, P. Alonzo, B. Brown, L. Wettig, L. Williams, P. Willis, B, Pullarkat, E. Dominici, and Anjali Pullarkat.

Cheryl welcomed everyone.

Cheryl provided an update on the Children’s Medical Center sponsorship. Fund receipt is anticipated soon. Preparation work has begun on the school bus ads featuring CMA and Children’s Medical Center.

All CMA letterhead will be updated to include the Children’s logo as well as the CMA logo. This letterhead should be used for all correspondence.

Becky Goodman made a motion to approve the minutes dated September 13, 2011. Vicky Fisher seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Maribeth Wonson gave the Treasurer’s Report. The opening balance was $11,362. Deposits were $620. Expenses were $1,016. The ending balance was $10,966.
The proposed budget was discussed. It will cover the period September 2011 through February 2012. The vote on the budget was postponed pending decisions on the Physicians’ Breakfast.

Patty Willis gave an update on Teacher Fridays. Volunteers are currently scheduled through November. There is one opening this week. If interested, contact Patty.

Shilpa Patel gave an update on internships. The physicians that participated last year are continuing with the program. In fact some have agreed to offer more internships. In addition, Shilpa is contacting 5 or 6 new physicians. Children’s Medical Center is interested in doing more internships. Cheryl and Shilpa will coordinate.

Lisa Wettig reported that another T-shirt order will be made on October 12th. Students are encouraged to wear the T-shirts to CMA sponsored community service projects, CMA information sessions and Parent University sessions on CMA. Senior students wear monogramed polo style shirts for internships. This assists the physicians in identifying the interns as well as providing good public relations for CMA.

Vicky Fisher led a discussion on the Physicians’ Breakfast. Over 300 people would need to be accommodated. 9th and 10th graders would be responsible for paying for their breakfast and lunch. 11th and 12th graders would just pay for their breakfast as they will go out for lunch. If students cannot afford the cost, they should contact Mrs. Martin and arrangements can be made. The CMA Booster Club would pay for the physicians’ meals. Anyone interested in contacting corporate sponsors to help defray the costs should contact Vicky Fisher or Cheryl Salanty. Also someone is needed to assist with physician gift bags.

Options were reviewed as to capacity, cost for 9th and 10th graders and cost for 11th and 12th graders, location, and other features. The three options were:
At CSHS in the library and in adjoining rooms $18.65 for breakfast and lunch, $6.60 for just breakfast.

Disadvantages are: space constraints, parking limited, interruptions of school bells, may be difficult to coordinate food service in cafeteria, not as impressive to physicians, physicians would have to move their presentations from room to room.

Trophy Club

$29 for breakfast and lunch, $12 for just breakfast

Large space, can accommodate 360 people, waiving many of the room fees, would need to provide map for new drivers to get there without travelling on the highway, ample parking, quiet.

The Piazza in Colleyville

$31 for breakfast and lunch, $17 for just breakfast

Large space, waiving many of the room fees, ample parking, quiet

Sue Harding made a motion to hold the Physicians’ Breakfast at the Trophy Club. Patty Willis seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Vicky will get various date options and discuss with Mrs. Martin. Wednesdays and Thursdays are the best days of the week. Ideally it would be in early February.

Cathy Hendrickson discussed the next Mentor/Mentee meeting. It will be on October 26 at 3:30 in the CHS Cafeteria. Halloween candy, apples, juice and water will be served. This year there has been increased participation from upper classmen and from freshmen. Cheryl and Cathy will coordinate the paper products for the meeting.

Mrs. Martin discussed the roll of the Parent Reps. Usually the Parent Reps coordinate a social gathering each semester.

Tutoring was discussed. Catie Hendrickson has a list of students willing to tutor. If it is done for community service hours, the teacher is responsible for signing off on the tutoring hours. The tutoring should be done on campus, usually in the classroom of the subject being tutored.

Mrs. Martin discussed the holiday gift exchange. It is done by class and entirely voluntary. She controls the list so that no one is overlooked. Usually breakfast items are served for the morning class and pizza is served for the later class.

Armaan Kang reported on the upcoming Halloween Party. It will be held October 30 in the SAC from 4 to 7. Food will be served. Class representatives are responsible for getting their class to bring assigned items. If parents are interested in volunteering as chaperones for the party and helping to set up or clean up please contact Patty Willis at patrwillis@gmail.com. Volunteer shifts will be from 3:30 to 5:30 and from 5:30 to 7:30. More details will be sent out by email. In addition, donations of Halloween decorations would be appreciated.

Armaan Kang also reported on the competition between grade levels for the Drinking Water for India program. Class representatives are coordinating this fund raiser. Parents are urged to ask their student about the competition and help raise funds. Grand prize is a Blue Bell ice cream party.

CMA Booster Club Minutes - 09/13/11

CMA Booster Club Meeting

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Cheryl Salanty, President. In attendance were 58 parents and 35 students. Cheryl welcomed everyone. Yard signs, decals, cookbooks and T-shirts were for sale at the front table.

In order to keep our meeting time shorter, our board committees have submitted updates. These updates by CMA Board Officers were distributed at the meeting. See copy attached at the end of these minutes.

Our first CMA newsletter was sent out with up-dates from teachers and the CMA Board. This publication will be published on a quarterly basis. It is a great form of communication. Thanks to Becky Goodman for getting this out.

The meeting broke for a Presentation by Dr. Rebecca Rollins about the college application process and SAT/ACT Q&A session.

The meeting resumed at 7:50 p.m. when Cheryl called the meeting back to order.

The Children's Medical Center has agreed to a $10,000 sponsorship of the CMA program. This contract was accepted and approved at the CISD school board meeting on September 12th. These funds will go in a CMA activities district fund. As part of the marketing for this sponsorship we will have several bus ads featuring CMA and Children's Medical Center. Also, there will be an ad on the carrolldradons.com website. These funds will be used for educational materials/equipment and educational opportunities for our students. In addition to these funds, we have received Bronze sponsorship funds from many parents in the form of $100.00 donations to our EDGE program, plus a $500.00 sponsorship from Samsung. Please help continue working with this program by picking up an EDGE donation flier and asking for further support of CMA. Also, please check for matching gifts at your company.

Mrs. Martin has been working on a grant to be submitted to the Carroll Education Foundation this week for $7,500 for the CMA program. This grant is for 10 I Pads and a docking station and camera cord. As these funds, if received, will only cover the cost of the I Pads and docking station but will not cover the cost of the APPS to be used on the I Pads, funds from the CMA activity funds will be requested to complete this project.

Cheryl made a motion to elect Shauna Newman as the Publicity/Historian position. The motion was seconded by Maribeth Wonson. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. Freshman parent reps are Suzanne Harding and Lisa Williams. Sophomore parent reps are Yash Sidhu and Salima Madhani. Senior parent rep is Bindu Pullarkat. There is still an opening for VP Fundraising. Please let Cheryl or Yash Sidhu know if you are interested.

Maribeth Wonson gave the Treasurer’s report. Opening balance was $8,928. Deposits were $2,935. Expenses were $500. The ending balance as of August 29th was $11, 363. Expenses still to be paid were $801 for the Kickoff party, Junior Class Party, and Mentor Party.

The CMA Fall Budget Proposal was distributed. It covers the time period September 2011 through February 2012. Any additional items should be submitted to Cheryl by September 30. This budget proposal will be voted on at the next Booster Club meeting in October.

Maribeth Wonson made a motion to approve the payment of the CMA Booster Club Board liability insurance renewal of $315. Lisa Wettig seconded the motion. A vote was taken and it was unanimous.

Vicky Fisher discussed various options for the Physicians’ Breakfast/Career Day. CMA has outgrown previous venues. One option would be to hold it in the CSHS library and nearby classrooms. This would keep student costs down. However, it might still be crowded and by having it on campus, might detract from the “specialness” of the event. Another option would be to hold it off campus at possibly Timarron Country Club or Piazza in Colleyville. With breakfast and lunch this would cost each student $25-30 each. A more detailed cost analysis will be compiled and presented at the next meeting. Please contact Vicky Fisher with other suggestions or if you would like to serve on the committee.

Armaan Kang, student board President, reported that Student Representative Applications are due on Friday. Also the CMA Students will be operating a face and hair painting booth at the Homecoming Carnival on September 21st. More student volunteers are needed. Also anyone interested in donating supplies for the event should contact Armaan.

Christian Shannon, student, reported that volunteers are also needed to help with Southlake’s Octoberfest on September 30 – October 2.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:36 p.m.

CMA Booster Club

Officer Update

September 13, 2011

The following reports were submitted by officers that will not be giving a report at the meeting:

Second Vice President (Volunteers): Patty Willis

There has been a good response from volunteers to help with Teacher Fridays, the Physician’s Breakfast, and the Awards Banquet. Susan Everett has worked to compile information from parent information sheets into a master list of the parents who are
interested in helping. We had enough volunteers at the kick-off sign up for Teacher Fridays that each volunteer is scheduled to work at the school just once every 12 weeks. Mrs. Martin has expressed appreciation on behalf of the CMA teachers for the help in the classroom. The newsletter request for volunteers to sell cookbooks at Curriculum Night or the Homecoming Carnival has not resulted in any response to date.

Third Vice President (Internships): Shilpa Patel

Have compiled the list of physicians to be contacted and have also sent out the first few emails. Seniors will begin their first internship in December and the other two will be spread over the spring.

Fourth Vice President (Special Events – Fall Kickoff and Awards
Banquet): Lisa Wettig and Audrey Miller

We first began the summer by securing a location and date for our spring banquet. After visiting several sites and talking to multiple hotels, we decided on the Hilton DFW Lakes in Grapevine. Our date of the banquet is Saturday, May 5, 2012 and will begin at 6:30 pm. Cheryl brought a check for our deposit of 2250.00, and we will be required to pay the balance on May 5, 2012. Patty Willis had banquet sign ups at the kick off meeting, and we will review the sheet to ensure that we have the help we need.
Our next project was to work on the Back to School Kick-off Party. We held the event at the CSHS SAC, and we had a great attendance of students and parents. As parents entered, we offered them our CMA merchandise including: t-shirts, bumper stickers, yard signs, and cookbooks. We ordered fifty t-shirts for the event and sold a little over half of them. Also, we gave the opportunity for parents to donate to the new CMA Edge that will work to provide better facilities and opportunities for CMA students and teachers. Everyone brought salads and desserts, and Roxann Taylor graciously donated the water for our event. We ordered 30 cheese pizzas, which turned out to be too many, but the students were a great help in setting up and cleaning before we left. At the meeting, Mrs. Martin, Cheryl Salanty, Mrs. Lowery, and Dr. Rollins addressed the parents and gave an overview of what to expect for the year. The students were also given a tour of the rooms and shuttle pick up instructions to aid in their first day of school. We felt like the event was a success as students and parents alike walked away feeling more informed about the year ahead with everything from classes to booster club events.

We will place a final t-shirt order in September, and we will work on the banquet as needed.

Sixth Vice President (Mentor/Mentee Program):
Cathy Hendrickson

Mentor Mentee meeting is scheduled for September 14, 2011 at 3:20 (immediately after school) in the CHS cafeteria. Drinks and snacks will be provided and mentors will be present to answer questions in preparation for upcoming Biology test or to answer any general CMA questions. If you have any questions feel free to contact Cathy Hendrickson at hendricksoncathy@yahoo.com.

Seventh Vice President (Liaison to Student Board/CM Students): Nancy Lesky

She needs sophomores to sign up to help the Freshman.

Natalie Genco will check with the counselors to see if it is possible to sell Dragon Food Cookbooks at graduation for our continuing Fundraising.

Mrs. Martin is still in need of adult volunteers for the Cook Children’s Opening Fundraiser. Students have to be 15 before or by the date of the opening in order to volunteer. If you are interested as an adult or student volunteer, please send Becky Goodman an email letting her know.

Nancy Lesky purchased a printer cartridge for Mrs. Martin’s printer in the amount of $422. It is a high yield cartridge that should provide more copies.

Internship/Speaker Update - Dawn Schindler is working on having a few extra internships by next spring due to enlarging class sizes. Some that are taking students now can offer more than one rotation to students. 25 hours is difficult to fit in with school work, jobs, etc. Feedback from those providing the internships is good. The EMT ride-alongs are very popular. Cook Children’s and Dallas Children’s Medical Center specialty clinics opening in Southlake may help add internships. Summer internships are being worked on.

Freshman Parent Representative, Salima Madhani reported that she and Mona Pate are working on a date for the Freshmen to get-together.

Sophomore Parent Representative, Nancy Lesky reported that she and Patty Willis are working on a date for the Sophomore’s to get together.

Junior Parent Representatives, Yash Sidhu and Pari Sahihi are working on a possible Six Flags trip for the Juniors to get together.

Student Class Rep, Reed Ripley reported that the Seniors have a mandatory meeting in class next Wednesday. They will then meet on April 29th at the Ripley's home to make their boards.

Dr. Peter Kwong is an orthopedic surgeon who has been practicing in the area for 11 years. He is going to be helping CMA with the internship program. The class sizes are growing so the need for internships is growing. Dr. Kwong will visit with his colleagues and spread the word about the program and the need for internship assignments.

New Business -

Dr. Rollins, our CMA counselor, has books (Acceptance, Colleges that Change Lives) she loans out to students regarding colleges . They are almost always on loan. CMA Boosters would like to purchase more copies of those books for Dr. Rollins.

The Booster Student Award Committee met and decided on award titles and qualifications. Those awards will be given out at Banquet.

A motion was make by Melissa Ripley to approve the minutes from the February 8, 2011 meeting. Dawn Schindler seconded. A vote was called and the motion was approved unanimously.

Directory Update (Sherry Martin) - there are 2 directories left that are available to CMA students or parents in Mrs. Martin’s room.

Spring Mentor/Mentee Meeting - The meeting is being arranged by Cathy Hendrickson and will take place on March 27th. The Biology students will get to meet with mainly Sophomores for their AP Exam reviews. The students will need to sign up ahead of time in order for their to be a good count for providing food for the event.

Banquet Update (Sherry Martin)- The Banquet will be held on Saturday, May 21st. The menu has been selected, the room arrangement decided and the silent auction committee have met twice. After returning from Spring Break, the number of incoming Freshmen invitations will be determined and can go out. The invitations are printed and the envelopes will soon be printed and mailed out.

Physician’s Breakfast Recap (Melissa Ripley)- The Physician’s Breakfast took place on February 16th. There was a total of 21 businesses represented. Dr. Strike and Dr. Faltys came and were kind enough to fill in when EMT’s were called out on an emergency. The total cost for the Breakfast was $756.83. Donations totaled $256.83. The $500.00 remaining was the amount budgeted for the Breakfast. Feedback indicated this was the most organized Physician’s Breakfast yet while the acoustics were somewhat off and people had a hard time hearing.

Donated Computers (Sherry Martin) - Becky Goodman and Maggie Goodman worked hard to get the remaining computers in working condition with the correct software on them. The computers were used in a lab and the students had positive remarks about being able to use them. They were able to capture data and print it out in class. The computers will mainly be used by the Chemistry Students for their labs but the Biology students will use them for a couple of their labs. The computers are approximately 7 years old. We may need to look at fundraising or grant proposals for replacing them in the near future.

Cook Children’s Opening (Sherry Martin) - Mrs. Martin is getting a contract to sign and will do so with the understanding that CMA Boosters will need to determine whether or not we can get enough volunteers for the event. If the Boosters are unable to get enough volunteers, she is offering it to the CMA Students and will share the duties with Mu Alpha Theta. The $1600 donation from Cooks would be split between the two groups. The event takes place at the new location off of 1709 on Friday, April 22nd from 2-6pm for set-up and on Saturday April 23rd from 8am until 6pm (several shifts will be divided up).
