Mrs. Martin gave the Banquet update: The Banquet is Saturday, May 21st, and it looks like we have met the minimum number of attendees required by the Hotel. Incoming Freshman invitations have gone out. All RSVP’s are listed on the CMA Booster website. Please check to make sure we have your RSVP.

Gay Burns asked us to decide on the quantity and amount of the CMA Scholarships. It was decided that we would wait until we determine how much money is left over after our final banquet payment.

Tracey Shuck noted that the incoming Freshman names have not been given to her yet but that she will work on the directory as soon as she has them. It is our hope to have the directory at the banquet for purchase. Remember to go to http://tiny.cc/341wh if you would like to be added to the directory.

Cathy Hendrickson indicated there was a good turnout for the Spring Mentor/Mentee meeting. Pizza seems to be a big hit.

Natalie Genco reported that “vendor” tables are not allowed at graduation. Dr. Rollins did think the cookbooks would be a good graduation gift and thought we should look into partnering with Project Graduation.

Becky Goodman and Mrs. Martin indicated that the Cook Children’s Opening was a huge success. As a result, Cook’s may create more opportunities for internships for the CMA students. There is a Children’s Medical Specialty Care center opening in Southlake in June. Information to help out at this function will be sent out very soon.

Natalie Genco reported that the committee decided that a gift card was not necessary to go along with the awards. There will be a Mentor Award and a Spirit of CMA Award given.

A list of gifts for CMA teachers and support staff was handed out at the meeting in order to keep this information a surprise from Mrs. Martin. Cathy Hendrickson made a motion to accept the list as gifts that would be given at banquet to teachers and support staff. Patty Willis seconded it. A vote was taken and passed unanimously.

Other Committee Reports:

Dawn Schindler suggested we make appreciation certificates for the EMT’s that allowed the students to do ride-alongs.

Patty Willis - Sophomore Parent Representative indicated that she would have a pool party at her home this summer for the Sophomores.

Ann Dachniwsky indicated that the seniors decided to forgo their social budget in order to provide Banquet tickets for the EMT’s.

NEW BUSINESS: A pass-the-torch gathering will be held at Gay Burns home for incoming officers and outgoing officers on June 6th at 6 p.m.

Meeting Adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
