Recap of 9/11 Boosters Meeting

Thank you for attending our boosters meeting! Your presence at the meeting highlighted the importance of community involvement and collaboration. Your dedication and commitment to our student athletes and teams are truly commendable.

For those who were unable to attend, we missed you and hope to see you at our future meetings. Your input and ideas are invaluable, and we believe that everyone's voice should be heard. By attending these meetings, you not only stay informed about our initiatives, but also actively contribute to shaping the future of our student athletes, teams, and booster club as a whole.

In order to ensure transparency and clarity, I would like to remind everyone to familiarize themselves with the bylaws posted on our website (on the "about" page). These bylaws serve as a guiding framework for our boosters' activities and provide a comprehensive understanding of our objectives, responsibilities, and decision-making processes. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@greenandgoldboosters.org. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

If you missed the meeting last night, or just need a refresher (we did cover a lot!), here is a snapshot of what we discussed:

1. Fundraiser Schedule

   1. Fundraisers must be pre-approved by GGBC (Green & Gold Booster Club) in advance

      1. We all use the same EIN number and there are many organizations that limit the number of fundraisers we can participate in, so we need to track these.

      2. We also don't want to have competing fundraisers and this is to ensure that everyone does as well as possible.

   2. Email your fundraising request to info@greenandgoldboosters.org.

      1. Once approved, we will let you know, put it on our website schedule and social media channels and create a flyer for you with the correct links, etc. for participating/purchasing.

      2. Our goal here is to be a valuable service to you and help you have the best fundraiser possible!

2. Booster Wide Fundraiser

   1. We have scheduled a booster wide fundraiser through Cherrydale.

      1. October 9 - October 23. Sales will be online and we also have packets and physical catalogs and order forms available.

      2. Please pick up order forms and catalogs for your team at the October 9 meeting!

      3. This is a great catalog full of holiday goodies, presents, wrapping paper, sweet treats (including cookie dough) and more!

   2. Every team that chooses to participate will earn 38% of their sales. It is completely up to you to decide what to do with the funds earned.

   3. This is a great opportunity to get a head start on fundraising for an upcoming season, and you can carry over your funds to next year if your season has ended.

   4. More information will be sent via email as we get closer and of course we will go over everything you need to know on 10/9!

3. Card Readers

   1. In an effort to streamline finances, GGBC has moved to a Point of Sale system that works directly with our website and online shop.

   2. Card Readers are available for your team to purchase for $69. You will own your card reader and can use it any time to collect money in person.

      1. To use a card reader, you will download an app onto your phone. The card reader works via bluetooth and you can use it anywhere your phone has service.

      2. This app connects directly to our online store. If you'd like something added to our online store, please email info@greenandgoldboosters.org. Please allow 72 hours for anything to be added.

4. Thank You Cards

   1. GGBC has ordered thank you cards (great suggestion from our Wrestling team!) for you to use. These cards are provided at no cost to you.

   2. To request thank you post cards, email info@greenandgoldboosters.org noting how many you need. These will be handed out in packs of 10.

   3. Please request only what you will use as GGBC is paying for them.

5. Homecoming Dance

   1. We will be selling Italian Sodas and snacks during homecoming on October 7

   2. We need volunteers to help make italian sodas, ring up snacks, and help with orders. If you're interested in helping, please email info@greenandgoldboosters.org

   3. Profits will be split 50/50 between Grad Night and Juan Mendoza Scholarship

Most importantly, we are here to help you! Please let us know if you need anything, if you need help, if there is any way we can be of service. That's what we are here for!

Thank you all so much for your support!
