CMA Booster Club Meeting Minutes 05/08/2012

The meeting was called to order at 7:05 pm by Cheryl Salanty, President.

In attendance were: S. Patel, L. Williams, K. Hughes, Y. Sidhu, S. Madhani, M. Tran, M. Jones, P. Willis, B. Goodman, A. Kang, Catie Hendrickson, C. Salanty, S. Everett, M. Wonson, V. Fisher, B. Palazzetti, S. Martin, B. Wang and A. Miller.

Cheryl Salanty welcomed everyone and thanked them for attending.

Audrey Miller made a motion to approve the minutes dated April 10, 2012. Mimi Tran seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Audrey Miller and Cheryl Salanty led a discussion on the awards banquet. Overall, the banquet was a huge success. The finances related to the banquet have not been finalized but there is more than enough to cover the deposit for next year’s banquet. The silent auction raised more than double what was raised in the past. Also, the proceeds from the banquet were helped dramatically by the scholarship donations that Mimi Tran collected from physicians.

Some things that should be considered in planning next year’s banquet include: whether or not to include the incoming freshmen, whether or not to have a silent auction and ways to keep the noise level down and the people from milling about in order to show respect for people at the podium.

The scholarships funds will be sent directly to the students’ college. Mrs. Martin will collect the recipients’ college and college id number so that the funds can be sent directly. Students will need to provide this information to Mrs. Martin no later than June 15, 2012, in order to receive the funds.

Mimi Tran announced that the scholarship winners as well as a list of CMA seniors will be in the next Dragon Blast.

Mimi Tran led a discussion on the need for lab renovations and a possible capital campaign to cover part of the costs. She has met with Dr. Faltys on this.

Vicky Fisher led a discussion of a way to thank the 70+ physicians and healthcare providers that have assisted CMA with the physicians’ breakfast, scholarship donations and the internship program. Three different plaque sizes were shown. Vicky Fisher made a motion to buy the 6X8 plaques for a cost of approximately $950. Shilpa Patel seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Depending on timing, it would be nice for the students to deliver the plaques to the physicians.

In addition, a membership fee for the CMA Booster Club will be assessed similar to other CISD booster clubs. Other corrections of the bylaws were discussed. A copy of the bylaws draft has been distributed. Patty Willis made a motion to approve the bylaws. It was seconded by Lisa Williams and the motion passed unanimously.

Cheryl Salanty also discussed additional scholarship opportunities. Mimi Tran has done a great job soliciting various physicians to donate to the scholarships to be given to seniors at the awards banquet. Friday April 13th is the cut-off date for the physicians to agree to donate. This will allow time to get the information into the program and on the banner for the awards banquet.

Maribeth Wonson gave the Treasurer’s Report. The opening balance was $11,508. Checks paid and cleared were $7,020. The ending balance was $4,488. So far Maribeth has $3,360 of awards banquet checks that need to be deposited.

Cheryl Salanty reported that a scholarship committee is being formed to review the scholarship applications. Members of the committee will include Dr. Rollins, Maribeth Wonson, and two members from the community. Mrs. Martin added that the applications will be “blinded” so that the committee members will not know who is applying. Applications will be available shortly and will be due back April 20th.

Cheryl Salanty also reported that a nominating committee is being formed to come up with the slate of officers for next school year. Yash Sidhu, parliamentarian, will chair this committee. If you are interested in serving on this committee or running for an office please let Cheryl or Yash know. Also current board members should let Yash know if they are interested in continuing in their current position. Current freshmen parents are wanted to serve as assistants to certain board positions, such as VP – Internships, so that they can eventually step into that position.

Maribeth Wonson gave the Treasurer’s Report. The opening balance was $11,357. Checks paid and cleared were $121. The ending balance was $11,236. A deposit for $390 and a check for $108 are still outstanding. Once those clear the balance will be $11,518.
Cheryl Salanty led a discussion on the Spring Budget Proposal. The following items were discussed:

 The amount that should be carried over to next year versus the amount to be used this school year. This relates to the CMA Booster Club account and not the CISD controlled account relating to CMA.
 The silent auction usually generates enough money to pay the deposit for the next year’s banquet location.
 $5,000 may be good estimate of the amount to carry over until the next school year.
 Do not want to go too low as the number of students has been increasing.
Cathy Hendrickson made a motion that $4,000 should be targeted for scholarships. This amount can change based on number of applicants and other factors. Nancy Lesky seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. This will be revisited when the applications come in.

Mrs. Martin gave an update on the internships. All is going smoothly.
Audrey Miller and Lisa Wettig gave an update on the awards banquet in May. They are looking at options for the invitations whether sending by mail or through Evite. They have begun working on volunteer assignments, coordinating with a photographer and organizing the class baskets. They have already begun to solicit donation items. Please contact Audrey if you would like to help with obtaining auction items.
Vicky Fisher reported on the Career Day/Breakfast. Transportation to the event will not be provided and Mrs. Martin has told the students that. Many physicians are very enthusiastic about the event. It has gotten a good reputation and two representatives from other school districts will also be in attendance. The Trophy Club staff and Green Jackets will be helping so additional parent volunteers are not needed. Trusa Patel (parent and Luce Photography), a yearbook staff representative and Shauna Newman (CMA Booster Club Historian/Publicity) will be there taking pictures.

Many thanks go to Kathryn Hughes who has done a wonderful job obtaining the items and assembling the thank you goodie bags for the physicians. They are perfect and will be well received.

Cathy Hendrickson discussed the next Mentor/Mentee meeting on Wednesday, February 22 in the high school cafeteria. It will be a question and answer session on the practice AP exam that the students take.

Mrs. Martin discussed taking the AP exams. Parents should weigh whether or not taking the exam will help the student. AP scores become part of the student’s permanent record.

Becky Goodman reported that she is looking into a way to link paypal with our website. Also she worked on ensuring that the new CMA logo was functioning correctly.

Armaan Kang reported that the students held a fundraiser at CiCi’s Pizza. The check should be received soon. Also the juniors and seniors are going to Urban Air on Saturday, February 10th. The students will host a picnic in late March.

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.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

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

Would like the dates of activities planned sent to her so she can take this to the students, and post on Facebook for them to know. She plans to attend the next student meeting as well.

Secretary: Susan Everett

The 2011 CMA Booster Directory is being compiled. A draft will be placed on the website for final review shortly. Parents who would like to change their student’s information should contact Susan at evercma@gmail.com.

News & Events page has been updated with all of the dates spelled out in Mrs. Martin's section of the newsletter. Booster Board has been updated with known members and their email addresses.

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.
