The September minutes were approved.
Principal’s Report (Jeanette Nuckolls): Megan Freymann joined us and is with the Professional Practice
Administration. Dr. Nuckolls thanked
IronPride for the $100.00 donation for the shower curtains. Plans for Homecoming include some new
events. There will be an Ironman Volleyball game between the juniors and the
seniors. Seven bands
have been chosen for
Treasurers (Beth Nobre / Becky Cobert): The available balance of our account is $5084.64. Beth expressed concerns with the cash flow and with the profit from the concessions and the café. She is worried that we are spending more than we generate. They are going to minimize stocking the Coke products. There was a discussion regarding groups working the café for money but that fulfills part of our mission.
She reported that the store is making money. The store will be open for Christmas sales and they will set up at Grove during the parade. The Unraiser brought in $7000 in August.
Vice Presidents (Terri Heid/Peggy Feldman): No report.
Hospitality (Teri Carroll-Miller): The committee will be serving a baked potato bar lunch tomorrow. They will have snacks for parent-teacher conferences.
Spirit Store (Pam Wylder/Colleen Liesman): They made $345 at the game on Friday night. The sales at Grove during the parade were disappointing. The weather was probably too warm. Inventory is down from last year because they don’t want a lot left over. They are finished with the big orders. The staff t-shirts were delivered to the office last week. The counselors needed some shirts in a hurry and someone took care of it for them but no one knows whom. We need to have a system in place for this sort of emergency. A suggestion was made to give gift certificates to Dr. Nuckolls to keep for emergencies. Pam will work on a solution.
FOIF is purchasing 75 homecoming t-shirts which will be sold through the IronPride store during lunch. We will keep the profits.
Café (Julie Stokke/Judy Jiles): The café is doing great. Hot pockets are selling very well. They purchased a small freezer from Sears for $198.00 since they didn’t get one donated. There are volunteers scheduled through December with only a few openings. It was stated that there must be adult supervisors in the café. Students can not run the café alone. The café can sell to students who need to leave early for competitions.
Web Master (Felicia Harrison): She will remove the request for a freezer. Let Felicia know if you need anything posted.
Concessions (Janie Zalesiak): The volleyball team and student council are hosting the homecoming bon fire. Janie will get hot dogs and candy for them. We will not raise candy prices to a $1.00. The committee set all of the prices for the year so that they are consistent. Many of the groups running the concessions are not following the rules. There should be repercussions and Janie does let them know when they are violating the rules. There have been no major complaints about the concessions. Janie would like to purchase a nacho machine. Chiddix gave a nacho machine to the NCHS cafeteria and we can borrow it for now. We will purchase our own next year. The football playoff concessions will be assigned as Janie gets dates. She thanks Lisa, Becky, Judy and Carol John for helping the committee to run so smoothly.
The alumni group will have the concession stand at the homecoming football game. Other groups will maintain satellite concessions.
Publicity (Beth Nobre): We need a new publicity person since Beth is so busy with the Treasurer job. Felicia will post this on the website.
Dance (Judy Fritzen): There are 13 volunteers for the Homecoming dance on October 20th. They would like 27 people so Judy will keep looking.
Greeters (Available): This position is still open.
Special Events: No report.
Library: No report.
Old Business: None.
New Business:
Sean Kerr from AV requested $214.00 for a fog machine to benefit all students. It would allow for more flair for the programs in the auditorium. Judy Fritzen motioned that we purchase the fog machine but that AV would have to buy the fluid and Kate Rodriguez seconded the motion. This was approved unanimously.
It was noted that anyone presenting a request must leave the meeting during the discussion and voting process. Requests should be presented at the beginning of the meeting and discussed at the end of the meeting.
The next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 19, 2007.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Kate Rodriguez
