A Warm-Up Jacket for all girls (Junior year and below) was selected and a Stadium Blanket was selected for the seniors. We will do our best to attempt to have these items available for the girls at banquet. Fundraising o McDonalds Jukebox (Chair:Maureen Miles) To be deleted moving on. o Chipotle (Chair: Maureen Miles/Katie Kruger): Successful o Applebee’s (Chair: Karen Hovey) Successful o State Fair Grandstand (Chair: Maureen Miles) Successful. o Macy’s (Chair: Deb Foley) Successful o Homecoming Shirt Sales (Chair: Katie Kruger): Successful o An idea was brought up as an alternative to the Applebee’s fundraiser, looking forward to next year. Although it was a successful event, the cooperation on the Applebee’s side was less than expected. It was suggested that a pot-luck or pasta dinner event set up in a cafeteria. Families would pay a small price to have dinner. Would still continue to do the basket raffles, but the event would be a more family and team based event, that would allow us some additional flexibility on dates and scheduling.

Other. o We are looking for parents to step up and replace senior parents that are currently serving on the Exec. Board. The positions of Vice- President and Secretary will be vacated after this year (Dec 2014). Nominations will take place at the next meeting and voting to follow.
