Panther Quarterback Club

Meeting Minutes

August 14, 2006

Opening Remarks – Meeting called to order by Don Gordon. Minutes from July meeting approved.

Coaches Report – Coach Bahen-Coach feels the scrimmage on 8/12 went well and was encouraging. The next scrimmage is scheduled for Aug. 18, 7 p.m. at home. The team has had a few injured players but nothing serious. Everyone is healed and ready for the 1^st game on Aug. 25. Both the High School and Jr. High camps went well. There were over 100 9^th-12^th grade participants. Payment of the athletic participation fee ($190) began today and will need to be paid before the 1^st game or the player will not be able to participate. The District Office is requesting that you write your medical insurance policy number on the gray info cards distributed to players. If you do not have medical insurance, you may pick-up a supplemental insurance form in the athletic office. Coach plans to take all Varsity/JV players to the away games unless sideline behavior becomes a problem. He may change his mind later.

Secretary Report –Christy Campbell- Minutes from July meeting were approved. Motion by LouAnn Shumate, seconded by Lynn Foltz, motion carried.

Treasurer Report – Dave Lawler – Copy of treasurer report distributed to those in attendance. We have a good balance to start the 06-07 year. The Golf Outing, Football Camps, & Pizza Sale all contributed to a positive start to the year. Bingo report distributed. We are averaging 60 players per week and a $500 profit each week.

Old/Current Business:

Bingo- The 7^th grade class is scheduled to work bingo in August, but has a game on 8/23. We will need other grades to help work that night.

Pre-game Dinners- We will provide a meal for Varsity/JV players on the Thursday before the 1^st and last game. Don will look into DeVinci’s catering. We need to feed Westerville South after the scrimmage on 8/18. Anyone that can help please come to the concessions after the scrimmage. Don asked those in attendance for their opinion of having a pig roast before the last game. Positive feedback was given.

Volunteers – Volunteer sign-up sheets were available at the Mandatory Meeting. We continue to need game volunteers. How can we encourage parents to volunteer? Many ideas were voiced including: assigning parents. For example: We could give parents options of days to work Bingo and if they do not respond, then we assign their dates to work. If they cannot work those dates, it would be up to them to find a replacement. To encourage 7^th grade involvement we will give the players a flyer that Welcomes them to the Panther Family.

New Business:

Computers- The football coaches need new computer system updates. The computers are located in the Football Office and for FB use only. The cost to update is approximately $600. Motion to approve the expenditure by Hope Boren, seconded by Jan Shore, motion carried.

Action Photos- Steve Lewis has kindly agreed to take action photos of the players again this year. These photos will be used for the end of the season video.

After Game Get-together- An email will go out to all parents inviting them to attend a gathering at the American Legion on the patio after the scrimmage.

Motion to adjourn by Jan Shore, seconded by Kathy Brown, motion carried.

Dates to remember: September 18^th next club meeting.

Respectfully submitted,

Christy Campbell, Secretary
