- Membership levels:
- Fundraising/Corporate Sponsorship – Donna Holsing/Jennifer Mausch
If anyone has any businesses ideas, please forward contacts to Donna and Jen. Next meeting the goal is to
bring back any business contacts made, the available spots for advertising for fall and spring. As of right
now, baseball and softball fields are not available. (dependent on student count) Football field sign is
available and possibly advertising spots on the football field fence. Jen has some leads. Mark Lemer stated
that he has contacts with the High School construction companies. Contracts are available and will need to
be modified for our needs. It will be the business’s responsibility to have a sign made on top of the
contract. Cost for those run about $250.00.
- Communication/Social Media – Jorgia Voegele
The booster club web page has been set up. Content needs to be added and a domain name needs to be chosen. We are going to check if wfps.horacehawks.com is available. Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter accounts will need to be set up and maintained. Jorgia has found someone to help with social media. She will send out information on our next meeting, the committee and the need for chairman and members.
- Concessions (still need a chairman)
We should set it up in two parts:
Part one:
• Concession setup committee (1 year project)
• Possible Horace Lions sponsorship. Bob and Nicole will coordinate that.
• List of equipment needed and space allotment for concessions.
• Timeline of when we need the equipment (e.g., football, basketball, baseball)
Part two: Possibly a paid position
• Inventory
• Scheduling workers
- Spirit – Kim Vuem
Will investigate the BSNSports 365 store for merchandise for a year-round Hawks gear. The booster club
would get a portion of the sales. Bob will talk to Dr. Cronin for specifics.
Other Items:
- Email needs to be sent out letting people know about the booster club, when and where our next meeting is,
and that we are looking for members, committee chairs and committee members. - We may need to have special meetings to discuss the timelines and to ensure we stay on task regarding the
schedule.
