  • July Camp - $290 for outside girls, $200 for our team girls, will refund those who have already paid

New Business

  • Website preview - Alicia
    • Would like to be able to pay dues through website with CC, but would need to add fee; people can pay via Venmo or check without an increase

    • Aug 7, 6pm and Aug 15, 6:30pm - all board members choose one
  • Gymnast Communication
    • Consider talking about this with the gymnasts as well - 10 minutes while both practice groups are present - give out first round of gift cards

  • Celebrating gymnasts' success for each fundraiser (top three winners, overall winners, etc.)
    • Deliver $5 gift card during practice to celebrate per fundraiser - each person does this at the end of their fundraiser
    • Bigger gift at the end for overall highest fundraiser
  • TV
    • Matt picked up a TV that could be used upstairs
    • Need to ensure it gets turned on

Fundraising

  • Silverstar - Kelley
    • Good fundraiser for the profit margin
    • Kelley has sent multiple communications but poor response from Silverstar so far
    • Requesting June and July
    • Will request one more time with a deadline of July 1, and then may need to change fundraisers
    • Kwik Star may be an option, consider Cozzy sheets
  • Raise Right update
    • All funds to general fund for this year
    • 80/20 split with 80 to dues and 20 to club because it is a rebate program, money deposited monthly is an option for future once we see how this goes
  • Corporate sponsor committee meeting
    • Next Monday is the first meeting
  • Bingo - dates will be released in July, hope to get the same weekend as last year.
  • Confirm number of parent volunteers for each fundraiser - will send sign-up genius out, Maria will make edits
  • Buy out option - calculate the total for buy outs and allow families to opt out of fundraising by making a payment
