The meeting was called to order at 7:06pm. Natalie Genco, Dawn Schindler, Melissa Ripley, Tracey Shuck, Gay Burns, Salima Madhani, Reed Ripley, Patrice Hall, Marina Sloane, Beena Trivedi, Shilpa Patel, Juliana Shiminski and Sherry Martin were in attendance.
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.
CMA Recognition in yearbooks and graduation programs (Natalie Genco) - Principal Rhodes indicated CMA will get 2 pages in the yearbook. Dr. Rollins is in charge of the graduation program and said we will have a letter after the CMA students names indicating the program. Possibly the letter “C”
School Board Candidate Speakers for April Meeting ( Sherry Martin) - the candidates can not give speeches on the school premises. If the candidates are going to speak to the CMA Boosters it will have to be at a different venue.
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). On Saturday from 8-10am volunteers will be setting up; from 10-2 the actual Grand Opening takes place and then from 2-6 Clean-up. Mrs. Martin will work out the volunteer shifts. Eight adult volunteers are need to be present during each shift.
Internships/Speaker Update (Dawn Schindler)- All internships are in place. A physician contacted Dawn about possibly becoming the CMA Boosters Physician Liaison.
Freshman Parent Representative (Salima Madhani) - working on a possible social. She will send the information to Natalie Genco so that interest can be determined from the Freshmen students.
Student Class Rep (Reed Ripley) - A student meeting will be held soon to discuss Spring and Summer events.
New Business Not on the Agenda - Sherry Martin asked that all emails, ideas, etc. are presented to either herself or the Booster President to ensure that anything being planned meets with the guidelines she has to adhere to in regards to school and district policies.
Meeting Adjourned at 7:45pm

CMA Booster Club Minutes - 12/14/10
In attendance were: Natalie Genco, Gay Burns, Becky Goodman, Ann Dachniwsky, Katie Dchniwsky, Melissa Ripley, Reed Ripley, John Kreske, Yash Sidhu and Mrs. Martin. Meeting began at 7:00 p.m.
1. Approval of Minutes from November 9, 2010 Meeting - Gay motioned for approval, and Melissa seconded. Vote was approved by all.
2. Treasurer's Report - Gay reported that the current bank balance is $10,695.08. We have $2,122.52 in expenses yet to be reimbursed, which leaves the final available balance at $8,572.56. We've raised $1670 from the sale of Dragon pinchers, cowbells and cookbooks. Therefore, we should discuss whether we need to do the silent auction at the Awards Banquet. Gay will put together a recommendation for a minimum balance. Natalie and Gay will also put together a draft of a spring budget.
3. Fundraising - We ordered 400 cookbooks, of which 198 were pre-ordered. 70 people have not picked up their cookbooks yet. After the holidays, we will need a volunteer to call people to let them know that they can pick up their cookbooks at the Spirit Shops.
Becky created an appreciation certificate for each of the students whose artwork was put into the cookbook. Principal Giamanco will give these out. Both campuses suggested that we hold an event next year where people cook a sample of the recipe that they submitted for others to taste and sell more cookbooks.
4. Directory Update - Tracey will begin work on the directory after the cookbook is finished.
5. Name Tags - Melissa will get some from Staples and print the inserts.
6. Banquet Update - We still need someone to chair this event. We will send out an email after the new year starts. We discussed using a committee to fill this position. We also need someone to head up the silent auction, if we decide to continue with it. Trusa Patel has volunteered to do the invitations. Natalie will meet with Melissa to go through the items that need to be done for the banquet.
7. Spring Budget - Gay listed some items (scholarships, banquet, physician's breakfast, invitations, and field trips) as potential items for the spring budget. Mrs. Martin also said that there are a couple of charity teams that they're considering. She also needs a print cartridge for the copy machine after Christmas. This will cost around $300 to $400.
John asked whether the laptops had everything loaded yet, and Mrs. Martin reported that they did not due to the changes in technology over the summer and time issues. Natalie suggested that a Comp Sci student may be able to assist. Mrs. Martin said that she expects to have wifi soon (within the next 6-12 months) and will check with the Comp Sci teacher for assistance.
Katie asked for funds for food for the student parties to be held this week. She expects to need about $192. The expenditure was approved to be taken out of the money allocated for Senior class get-togethers.
8. Internships - All of the internship sponsors will be invited to the physician's breakfast. Dawn also needs to meet with Mrs. Martin.
9. Physician's Breakfast - Melissa sent out 70 invitations, and has asked them to RSVP by 12/31/10. The breakfast will be held on 2/17/11 at White Chapel United Methodist Church. The $300 room fee will include setup, projector screen, and coffee. She is working on finding a sponsor to donate breakfast. Gay suggested sending an email to parents to remind them to send in their $25 to help pay for food.
We also need to thank Nelson's in the banquet program this year for donating the food last year. Nelson's thought they were going to receive more advertising than we were able to get them.
Melissa was able to find a vet to attend. Dr. Ruffner from Golden Triangle Animal Hospital will join us. Natalie reported that she had met someone from a 24-hour veterinary hospital, VCA, who is interested in sponsoring an internship. She will pass the card along to Dawn.
10. Parliamentarian - Yash reported that only 4 people showed up at the last parent luncheon. She would like for Board members to RSVP for each event.
11. Junior Parent Representative - Yash reported that the next party for juniors will be in March. They are thinking about doing something at Bicentennial Park.
12. Senior Parent Representative - Ann reported that the seniors are still trying to get together.
13. Student Board - Reed and Katie said that they're planning a holiday picnic. The holiday parties and gift exchanges will be held on Thursday, 12/16/10, and Friday, 12/17/10.
The students are also raising funds and creating cookie plates for the janitors. For every dozen home-made cookies that a student brings in, they get one volunteer hour.
Brittany Wang is working with CMA sophomore students on a project making a holiday meal for the Battered Woman's Shelter.
