Bethel Park Lady Hawks Basketball Booster's Association Meeting
May 3, 2004

Call to Order

President Darlene Gratton called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m.

Reading of Minutes

The minutes from the April 5th meeting were read and approved.

Financial Report

Jeff Pennington reported that there is $7,004.92 in the checkbook with about $770 in outstanding miscellaneous expenses. The carwash on April 17th netted $405, which was our best total ever.

Budget

Tom Loadman presented the tentative budget for the upcoming year, totaling approximately $23,000. The budget was based on a meeting held with Coach Burke. The budget will be voted on next meeting.

Fundraising

Fundraising is important, especially this year because the basketball program and all other athletic programs will get less money from the school. Fundraising participation is mandatory. All team members, including incoming freshman girls, are expected to participate. Fundraisers will include selling program book advertisements, working the Tip-Off Tournament and home game concession stand, a youth basketball clinic, Community Day booth, selling Lazarus coupon sales, pre-sale carwash coupons, Granny pizza kits entertainment books and a golf tournament with the Boys Basketball Boosters. Other fundraisers, including raffle tickets, are being considered. There are also four additional carwashes coming up.

Community Day

We plan to have a booth at Community Day on September 11, 2004. Someone is needed to organize this event. We need to also come up with something to sell at the booth.

October Clinic

We need companies to sponsor the October youth basketball clinic. This would pay for the T-shirts and other costs. There is a committee formed, but Darlene Gratton has requested that a freshman parent also help.

Future Meetings

A vote was taken and it was decided that future booster meeting will be held beginning at 7:30 pm instead of 7:00 p.m.

The meeting was adjourned. The next meeting will be held on June 7th, beginning at the new time of 7:30 p.m.
