Booster Club Garage Sale

Posted on May 25, 2012 by cathik

Flips FGC Booster parents,
As you spring clean, please set aside any items you don’t want and are willing to donate and think would sell for the FGC Booster Club garage sale which is coming up June 21st-23rd in Hugo.  Volunteers are needed during the sale, please see Carol to sign up!

Feel free to bring bags of small items (clothes, books…) to me at any time (such as before or after practices, but please let me know ahead of time to make sure I’ll be there). Go ahead and put price stickers on your items too, otherwise I’ll do that before the sale, or I’ll group like items together for the same prices.
I don’t have room to store larger items so we’ll arrange for getting larger items the week of the sale.
Thanks!
Carol Pelletier (Erin’s mom)

Meeting called to order at 8:07 p.m. by Jeff Doe.
Members present: Garilyn Ehde, Cathi Kurkowski, Denise Bratvold, Steve Glasenapp, Jeff Doe, Dave Johnson, and Kris Esteb. Bart joined the meeting at 8:33.
Carol Pelletier is running the garage sale, but hasn’t picked a date yet. She has sent out the request for items.
The board thanks Steve Glasenapp for his many years of service.
Garilyn has cards to go with the scholarship checks to Annie and Kiki. The board signed them.
Lori asked if the board could come up with parent activities associated with the Dream Team meet in August. The meet will be on a Thursday this year so a picnic is not possible. Members are asked to think of ideas and we’ll discuss again in June.
Spring flowers we made $1297. This was a pleasant surprise. Butterbraids made $830. Tracy and Patrick are running concessions at the spring fling. They are doing impact cards again—probably in June. The booster club made about $8900 at the State meet this year (approximately $2000 less than last year).
Budget discussion: Total budget needed for team fees and coaches fees is $58,085. Steve motioned we pass the motion as is without USAG fees. Jeff seconded. All in favor. Budget passed.
Bart reviewed the State meet. Everything is not quite in. Expenses higher than previous year.
All parent meeting will be Tuesday, June 19, 2012 at 8 p.m.
Meeting adjourned at 9:14 p.m.
The next board meeting is set for Thursday, June 14th at 6 p.m. at Champs in Woodbury. July meeting later in the month to be after the North St. Paul meeting. Tuesday, July 24th at 6 p.m., site TBD.
