Recap Coaches vs. Cancer Event – Joe Laudenbach

Discussion

Raised close to $3500 this year. Last year $1700 Great job by all to help. Next year suggestions, stay away from MORP weekend. Possibly do event the same night as cheer camp for youth? A lot of people were at that game, could fill bleachers even more? Additional ideas with drawing people to the game, Youth participation is huge draw.  This event does NOT have to be held on a set weekend. Changes over time leave open to have whenever it works in schedule.

Recap Senior/Parent Night – Gwen Ledin/Jill Laudenbach

Discussion

Event was well received. All agreed they like the one event instead of a separate parent night. Allows us to honor the Seniors and their parents together. Players love the fleece blankets-they are huge and warm! Thank you JILL!!!!! Suggestion for next year would be to have a separate reception for 9th grade parents.

Misc. Discussion

Discussion

Need to reserve locations soon for the Classic Tournament. Joe asked if Paul Lombard would be willing to chair the event. He has handled many tournaments, knows ins-outs. Confirmed that Coach will be the mediator between the boosters and Gary Gave. Dates:  Dec. 4-6. Possible sites, Lord of Life, High School and Oakview. Fred Moore is concern because we can’t have for the entire day. Look at options. Not recommending AR College-too expensive. Reserve gyms with Gwen Poore soon.
