Annual
Meeting:
Meeting is scheduled for Friday June 5th at 7pm. ALL MUST ATTEND, An AGREEMENT will be signed, AND $5 will be due for membership fees. If for some reason you can not attend this meeting you MUST communicate that to a member of the Board so that they can meet with you and give you the information that is required for the 2009/2010 season.

Kristi Mead is working hard on getting all the events scheduled for the Banquet. Sheets have gone out to the families to sign up for the banquet. The cost is $13.50 per person. All funds must be received by April 24th so an appropriate head count can be given to the caterer. The event will be at the Jones Center in Springdale, May 8th starting at 5pm. Kristi Sloan is helping get a book of letters from the gymnasts to the coaches, and Jill Witt has agreed to put together a program.

Fundraising
Coordinator’s Report:
Leslee Urhahn couldn’t be at the meeting today. The Swan’s truck will be at the gym on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 to start off an exciting fundraiser! Hope to see everyone there!!
Ana agreed to be the “Parent Liaison” between the Booster Club and the Owners of the gym for discussions and concerns that are brought up during booster club meetings. Answers will be found out and re-visited during the booster club meetings or via email for time sensitive issues. We believe this will help with communication. Thank you!
The decision by Aspire Gymnastics is to leave the coaches fees in the tuition payment for the 2009/2010 season. Fees will be higher than the last season. This decision is one that the Owner has the privilege to make to ensure that fees get paid on a timely basis. The Booster Club is hoping that we can bring this up again for the 2010/2011 season, but for now the decision has been made.
Adjourned
Thanks to all who attended on Easter Weekend!
