Angela has agreed that we can fundraise for our coaches and meet fees.

Will not be part of tuition. Boys coaches fees are not yet set. But, boys will be able to fundraise too.
The coach’s fees brought up a long discussion of how things should be handled. Parents were had many questions. Some of the questions are:
· Some parents disagree with paying ahead
· There were questions about coaches fees and how they are dispersed
· It was suggested that ABC holds all coaches fees and pays them out to Aspire on a as needed basis
· There was questions of accountability of funds
The coach’s fees discussion will be tabled for now for further discussion.

As a fundraiser the meet will put approximately $180 per gymnast on their account with the Booster Club, if you worked the meet and donated a door prize. And $90 per gymnast if you just worked the meet. More will be brought up about this at the next meeting, because finalization is still needed.
