Following is an update for this week:
FUNDRAISING
I am sure that everyone is working hard on their fundraising efforts. The deadline for collecting all money raised is
Friday, July 20th and in order for us
to reach a goal of $10,000, every dancers needs to raise an average of
$833 -- certainly an achievable goal!! Tracy reports that we have
already secured $2,500 in sponsorships -- 25% toward
our goal. Great job -- just keep working hard so we can reach a
minimum goal of $10,000 in sponsorships!
When you secure a sponsor, text Tracy immediately -- she's tracking all of this closely.
When you secure a sponsor, please remember to have the company
complete the sponsorship form with business name, address, etc. We
definitely need those forms in addition to the donation! We are working
on a tax exempt letter to get to the businesses that
sponsor us -- they will need this in order to get the tax deducation
for their donation.
NECESSITY LIST -- SIGN UP!!!
By Monday, July 16th, please sign up
for a few items on the Necessity List. This was something that Anna
talked with us about during HOME camp week and that was posted on the
blog soon thereafter. We need everyone to contribute
to collecting these items so that our dancers will be well prepared
for any unexpected events/moments during football season! Just go to
the list that is posted on the blog and you can sign up there. We'll
discuss all remaining items, those that are not
assigned to anyone yet, at the next Strutters Booster Club meeting.
JULY BOOSTER CLUB MEETING
We have a meeting scheduled on Tuesday, July 17th at 5:30pm.
We are working on the location as CSHS is not open to us yet. I will
let you know the location as soon as it is determined. Joan has been
working SO hard on
some of the fun items for us to purchase for next year. In addition to
an update on all of these items, at this next meeting she'll have
sizers available for shirts to purchase. This is the only time we'll
have sizers available to you at a meeting. As you
know, sizes run differently so if you miss this meeting, you'll have to
go by CC Creations to try on the shirts before purchasing. Attend this
meeting and it will be easier for you!
AUGUST PRACTICE
Remember, the dancers will be practicing another week in August --
August 6-10 from 8am-4:30pm each day. Additionally, they will practice
on Monday, August 13th from 12:45pm-4:30pm. If we are going to do
anything for our dancers as a Booster Club that
week (i.e., provide them lunch, send fun snacks or special treats, do
things that encourage them as they begin football season, etc.), we need
to be thinking about that and planning for that now. We can discuss
this at our meeting next week.
That's all for now. See you next Tuesday at the meeting!
Best,
Kelli
