Minutes (Rachel Spangenberg)

The November minutes were approved.

Athletic Director’s Report (Dan Feher)

MCPS budgeted funds are not enough to cover athletic program costs, so we, like most MCPS schools, are asking every team to raise additional funds, which will contribute to that teams expenses (buses, refs, equipment, uniforms, etc).

Rachel asked Dan if there was any space available in the school for a ‘permanent’ Spirit Wear store, where we could have merchandise on permanent display. Currently we just have a storage space, which is shared with the Music Boosters and the cafeteria. Time and energy is spent loading and unloading spirit wear, and setting up and breaking down a display, for each sale. One suggestion was to see if the indoor ticket booth was an option.

Dan is trying to get ONE logo that all Springbrook sports teams would use on sportswear.

Treasurer’s Report (Rachel Spangenberg for Monica Velasquez)

The July - Nov 2016 budget was reviewed by the membership. Spirit Wear sales continue to bring in funds. We did not get a good response to our requests fordonations of water (for concession sales) at the Winter Sport Parent meeting. That meeting might have had low attendance because it was right before Thanksgiving break.

Fundraising (Rachel Spangenberg for Clare Tock)

We’ve gotten a $3000 business donation from a current Springbrook family, to include advertising banners. This donation was written to Dan/Athletic Department so we need to transfer funds to the Boosters.

We would like to increase advertising efforts for the mulch sale, set for Apr 22, 2017. We will order 50 more signs to put around the community.

Spirit Wear (Rachel Spangenberg)

One more Spirit Wear sale will take place before the holiday break. We will also plan one for Feb 6 or 7.

Volunteers / Concessions (Tina Errigo)

We are still trying to recruit volunteers to work the indoor concession stand. We will look in to using Edline and asking Dr Williams to announce sign-ups during his weekly call to all families.
