Treasurer’s Report: Account Balance: $12,573.07 in account; of that, $752.85 is part of the general fund. The balance is held in individual accounts, and Coaches’ fees and competition fees will be paid from the balance of general fund. Hotdogs made approximately $386. That number represents the balance before expenditures were paid out. The approximate profit will be $236.

Mandatory Sponsorship Fundraiser: Out of 31 families we have about 11 sponsorships turned in. Because of the gym closure the first of the month we will extend the sponsorship due date to September 13. Andrea will contact sponsors thus far as to the delivery of their shirts being delayed a week or so.

Program Questions: Questions for Liz or regarding the program itself should be in written form and be general in nature. These questions should be put to the Board or turned in at the “in-box” located at the cheer table area. The board will give the questions to Liz. She will either write out answers or verbally communicate those answers to the Board who will then notify parents either in writing or at the next booster meeting of those answers.

Team Mom Update: Two team moms are unable to do the job. We will need 1 for Energy and 1 for Adrenaline. This will be someone who will be responsible at competitions - either themselves or by recruiting a parent - to sit with the girls while they are waiting to perform. There needs to be supervision at all times.

Pam Petersen has volunteered to be a Team Mom for Adrenaline and Kathy Hildenbrand volunteered to represent Energy.

Fundraising: We made a decision, as a board, to no longer be affiliated with the Harvest Festival in October. Originally we were going to rotate with gymnastics to sell Kettle Korn and beverages, on both weekends. Now the Nut Tree is in charge of the Harvest Festival and have a new ruling as to: There will be no outside vendors selling any types of food items or beverages. With our having no way of making any “real” money we have decided it would not be worth our time and effort to be a part of the festival as a fundraising effort.

October Food Sales: It is mandatory that each family work one shift at one of our Thursday Night Dinner Sales. Please remember, that this fundraiser is to raise money for our general fund. In October we will, again, be selling the hotdog meals.

Kettle Korn Sales: We will be having our Kettle Korn Sales on: Saturday, 9/22; Saturday, 11/10; Saturday, 12/15 and Sunday, 12/16. All sales will be held at Sam’s Club from 11-5pm. Each 2-hour shift will need 4 cheerleaders and 2 adults. This fundraiser will be an 80/20 split with each individual girl’s account and the general fund.

We will post the signup sheets for this on Monday, September 10. Please only sign up once, as we would like everyone to have a chance for this fundraiser. If after 1 week of posting, there are still spots available you may then sign up for a second shift.

We will try to get an October date for Kettle Korn Sales, as we will no longer be doing the October Harvest Festival. WE will notify you of any additional days for the Kettle Korn Sales.

Car Wash Tickets: Car wash tickets are now available for distribution. Please see Sally Jenkins for your tickets. This is a voluntary fundraiser. Money will be split 80/20 to each individual girl’s account and the general fund. The tickets will be sold for $10. Of that, $5 will be profit. $4 will go into each girls’ account and $1 will go into the general fund. You can only use 1 ticket at a time. These tickets are for a “regular” car wash only. Purchaser may upgrade with additional money paid to 7 Flags. When you sell a ticket, please, write Aerials on each ticket –BUT ONLY AFTER IT IS SOLD.

Baja Fresh Night: Tina Jelinski will make 250 copies of the flyer that NEEDS to be turned in on the night of the fundraiser. Pass these around to everyone. Cheer will receive 20% of sales from the restaurant. This fundraiser will be for the general fund.

Christmas Wreath Sales: We will placing our wreath orders in October and November and they will be delivered in December. Jennifer has order forms and old flyers that she will give to the Board.

Parent T-shirts: For the women we have an opportunity to order Rhinestone T-shirts. Quote: $50 setup fee to make the t-shirts. A nice woman’s fitted t-shirt. Aerials block A larger teal rhinestones with smaller crystal rhinestones around that. Underneath: Aerials Cheer in script. We have to have at least 12 to do an order. If only $12 order the cost will be $35 for t-shirts, but if more sign up it will be less. Sally will call everyone and let us know how much they will be. XS to XXXL. Black T-shirt.

Open Forum: Andrea: We can bring in as many ideas for fundraising, but we need to schedule them.

Candle sales: We will have the candle information at the October booster club meeting.
