Choir Booster Meeting Minutes

Feb 19, 2013

Present: Kenji Maeda, Peg Wendling, Monique Stefens, Jill VonFeldt, Michelle Dohm, Jennifer McCleve, Baker Stockmar, Andy Marshall, DeeDee Bell, Cheryl McIsaac

Items to Discuss:

Treasurers Report: Peg Wendling

$2,289.85 Bank Balance

Talked a bit about concessions.  Need to recruit more students next year to help out. Concessions are a GREAT way for choir to make money.

Scrip Gift Card Program: Michelle Dohm, DeeDee Bell

Discussed ways to get more families signed up. It is the best way to earn dollars that go directly into students’ ASB account. Encourage students to take forms to neighbors, employers and friends.

Discussed a way to add to Choirs’ ASB account: Purchase Haggen cards to sell at concerts, starting with the March 15^th concert.  Choir ASB will purchase 5-10 $50 cards to sell. Percentage of each card sold goes back into the Choir ASB account which helps to fund materials, equipment and scholarships.

Michelle and DeeDee will put together an informative email for parents and students about how to capitalize on the Scrip program to help pay for the Choir tour scheduled for May 31.
