Memorial Day BBQ: This year we made $3,987.28 which was down $811.62 from last year.  Had more activities to do this year and the painting this year gave back money and the cake walk was a Hugh success.  Need more promotion and word out.  Norm mentioned that everything went good the front end needed more help but all shifts went well.  Faye’s was good and Norm will continue to head up this fundraiser.

Old Business

Freshman Open House: Open house went well.

Teacher Appreciation Week: Gifts between all the teachers there was positive comments and all the teachers loved everything.  We collected $685.00.  We purchased 24-30 Gift cards to Target, We gave out 24 picture frames and they really loved them.  The luncheon with the soups and salad and desserts was a success and we had a lot of help from the parents with preparing these dishes.  Need a chairman for next year.

Holiday Open House: Set for November 21, 2009 and Kim Gudmunson will chair it again this year.  Vendors complained not having any help setting and taking down.  We need more volunteers to do this.  Suggestion was made to Cub Scouts and Girl scouts help.  Need to send out more advertising. Maybe doing a mass email or use the phone messages that go out for the school.  We need to discuss with Jim on the email mass.

Fund-Raisers: Need a publicity chairman to take care of newsletter, advertising, ECT.  Crystal Pyle has volunteered to chair this.

Other fundraisers recycle printer cartridges – Being Greener.  Need to think about other things we can to do to raise money.

Sandwich Fair: Possibly advertising in all the papers.  Sherrie Bonoit suggested getting history & acknowledgement to Pat, Berdina and Mike and also having a Thank You to all the volunteers that helped SEB at the fair.  We need to start thinking of more ways get more volunteers.  Suggestions at conference time having a table set up like we had at back to school night and Freshman Open House.
