The pasta dinner for the varsity girls will be held October 2nd at Andrea Conley’s house - the time will be announced.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the tailgate with a turnout of 120 people. Special thanks to Chair Heads; Beth Vuono, Kelley Kaparakos, and Kathy Machiko.

T-shirt sales will continue through the end of this month at the schools; however, we will continue to sell them at home football games.  We will order more shirts on the 14th of October if necessary. 

New Busines

The Booster organization will be changing to a non-profit entity next year.  Monica Gambino will look into what is involved.  Beginning next year there will be no individual accounts as they exist today - we will be gong to a single account for all fundraising activities. 

We are looking into adding another competition - further info to follow.

UCA Nationals (in Florida) flight info - depart Pgh 2/11 @ 1:20 and arrive in Orlando @ 3:50 via Southwest - non-stop flight (may get moved to an earlier departure).  Depart Orlando 2/15 @ 11:55 AM arriving in Pgh @ 2:20 via non-stop service from Southwest.  The cost is $331 per ticket (same as last year).  The Boosters will be paying the deposit soon. 

A motion to pay booking fee ($2,000) was made by Julie Hailstone and Jane Marroni.

The chaperones will include the coaches and the boosters will pay for security guards at the hotel beginning at 11:00 PM.  Hotel fees, transportation, park passes, and meal vouchers -.

Treasurer Report

Once again, the Boosters organization will leave a balance in the account for the new members in 2010.  We will know the amount some time in December.

We are proposing to give cheerleaders $105 in their accounts for their participation in mini camp.  A motion to approve this was made by Sandy Mencini and Anisa Polk.

The varsity cost is looking like it may be overstated by $20/cheerleader, JV is $0.33 over budget, and Freshman are approximately $20 under the estimated cost.

The financial report was approved by Joanne Verez & Julie Hailstone.
