This meeting is the first booster meeting and is considered an “At large” meeting. Meaning everyone is able to vote at this time. In the future, in order to vote you will have to be a booster club member.

The floor was then open to elect a Secretary. Debbie Rabjohn nominated Marlee Livesay and Karen Herring seconded the motion. A vote was taken and Marlee Livesay was elected Secretary. The floor was then open to elect a VP. Brian Collins nominated himself for the position and Tracy Collins seconded the motion. A vote was taken and Brian Collins was elected as VP.

At this time, the 2015 Executive Board was in place.

Coach Wynn then discussed the different committees. The following is a breakdown:

  1. Corporate Sponsorships
  2. Fundraising
  3. Concessions
  4. Field Prep/ Facility Improvement Team
  5. Program Promotions
  6. Community Support and Outreach

Coach Wynn discussed how support goes to all levels of this program. From CYFA teams all the way to Varsity. He will encourage the high school players to show their support to the feeder teams and go to some of their games when they have a free Saturday. “Give back to those who give to you.”
