FINANCIAL
Tamie reports balances on 8-31-06 of … … [For security purposes, bank balances will not be posted on the internet. For more information on account balances, please attend a meeting]. Tamie said she has not closed the Franklin Templeton account, even though approved last meeting, because the interest rate is currently 4.95%. Tamie stated that we just received the invoice for Spring 06 coaching salaries from the school district for $19,250.62. Next month she will prepare the yearly financials needed for taxes.

We will not ask for partial reimbursement since we have not done so for the last several years.
Cindy Boyett is updating our non-profit corporation status and will be filing it online. We may have to pay a penalty for filing late, but it was just brought to our attention.
FUNDRAISERS
Reserved Seating – Tamie Frasier reports that Reserved Seating deposits total $11,975 so far. In Robin Chester’s absence, Cindy Westerberg gives Robin’s report. Of 144 total reserved seats, 6 are comped, 138 are sold of which 2 are unpaid. Price for reserved seating remained at $125 per seat. Therefore, 138 x $125 = $17,250 with 2 seats unpaid. The bank deposit should be $17,000 at this time. Complimentary seats were given to Bob Chance (videographer), Scott Kostecka, Annie Petrie, Ms. Brittan and 2 for the Spiritleader coaches. There was less than 20% turnover. New families are Keliikoa, Nagy, Brown, Dowdle, Wright, Lew, Lehman, Hoaglund, Pratt and Cameron. There was a lot of rearranging or movement in seats assigned and several returning families reduced the number of seats they kept this year.
General Memberships – Barb Ruffino reports good sales for General Memberships and says the count is nearing 200 memberships. General Membership cost is $50 per card. This card is good for free entry into all Napa High sporting events (at home) that charge a gate, excluding playoffs. Barb also sold some of the blue/gold rubber wristbands at Freshman Orientation for a total of $100.
Football Programs – Colleen LeMasters reports that the program went to the printer on Friday and will be ready for the Fri. Sept. 15 games. The program is 46 pages long and will sell for $5.00 each. This year we are going to keep the money for program sales separate from Admissions and Concessions. We will also assign a Concession volunteer the job of selling programs. Cindy Westerberg asked how many Gold Packages sold. Colleen will bring these figures to the next meeting.
Fall Sports Golf Tournament – The 3rd annual tournament is on Sunday, November 5, 2006 at the Napa Golf Course at Kennedy Park. Golf fee is $85 per person. Tee sponsorship is available for $150 per tee sign. Flyers were handed out. In Tom Sim’s absence, Cindy Westerberg read an email from him challenging our Team Representatives to bring in one foursome and one tee sponsor each.
Concessions – Caryn Green reports that Vintage has offered to let us use their barbeque. For barbeque, we will cook hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs and tri tip. We will try barbequing hot dogs instead of using the large warming bins. There will be no barbeque at the freshman games, because the time frame is shorter and the crowd is smaller. Caryn Green is gathering paperwork to invoice Vintage’s Parent Club for the 4th time to split the cost of the ice machine in the North Booth that was installed last year. A new ice machine was just installed in the South Booth. Cal will send an invoice and this time, Napa and Vintage will each pay their half to him. Two coffee pots have been stolen. Termites destroyed the Vintage storage area. Quinto Patio has honored the same price for their chicken /beef burritos. Caryn suggested to Ramon that Quinto Patio was welcome to make a small vinyl banner to hang on the concession booths. A refrigerator died, but Cindy Ross helped us contact Sears and they made a donation of a new refrigerator! Caryn wants to give them a free ad in the football program, but they did not respond with the details for the ad. Caryn would like to honor it for them in the Crab Feed program. The North booth is running well, thanks to Sherri Steen and Hilary Pieper during JV games and Rosanne Crandall and Jeanette Beatty during the Varsity game. Costco deliveries are going well. The water bottles were dropped off in the A.D. office and need to get moved over to concessions on Wednesday. Thank you to our water bottle sponsors, Connie and Jamie Johnson! 1 pallet = 54 cases = 1,296 bottles. Total cost is $1,200 paid by the Johnsons. The bottles look great with the Napa High logo and football game schedule listed. Jolin Platt, event planner, requested the option to be a water bottle sponsor next year! The Sept. 29 game, Caryn needs to leave by 8:00 p.m. but she has coverage set up for both booths.
Crab Feed – Caryn reports that she is looking for a new DJ. She wants to keep these plans the same: Napa Police security, crabmeat vendor and the famous kitchen help. Cindy Westerberg showed a rough draft for a “save the date” postcard as discussed at the last meeting. The group decided it was not necessary to send postcards out. The price of a Crab Feed ticket has been $45 for the last few years. Cindy Boyett made a motion to raise the price to $50; seconded by Bob Yanover; approved by group. We sell 900 tickets.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Blog Spot – Colleen LeMasters stated that the Booster Club blog spot is up and running on the web. The web address is http://nhssportsboosterclub.blogspot.com. Cindy Westerberg asked if we wanted our bank balances posted in the minutes when sent in an email or posted on web. After a discussion, it was decided to omit the bank balances when sent out to the public, with a statement such as “for more financial information, please attend a meeting.” We agreed to list exact amounts for any projects and fundraisers, just not bank balances.
