October 2024 Meeting Minutes
October 14, 2024
FOC Booster Club Meeting
Forsyth Central High School
7pm meeting called to order and quickly seconded.
With a score of 95.33 we emerged as Grand Champions last Saturday and this Monday evening we took a moment to soak that in!
After a short celebration we moved on to a more grounding subject and reviewed finances.
We currently have $54,328 in positive funds with an outstanding balance of student dues sitting at $10,840. This is down from around $16k last month. (A full breakdown of income and expenses are provided at every meeting.)
There are two more competitions and one away game remaining to finance travel for this season in addition to senior night/paws and rising vendor costs. If you know any potential sponsors now is the time to reach out! (Ameris funds are finished for the season)
Fundraising upcoming will include Sees candy, Ornaments to bedeck your tree with, fleece blankets to warm your bits on cool stadium nights, and an opportunity from our very own Rachel Monnin to make money for Central while buying your favorite MaryKay items (hello stocking stuffers!)
Spirit Night is around the corner November 8th at Stars and Strikes from 5:30- 8:30pm the vibe is “Band takes over for an end of season wrap up party” come hungry as we will earn a portion of all sales excluding alcohol so opt for a pitcher of chicken fingers!
Volunteers needed as always! Do you crossfit? Bring your squad to push props and instruments! No squad? How about sturdy teens? Bring their muscle, it takes a village! Chaperones can double for uniform helpers or prop pushers, if you are at the event we can use ya!
