COACH’S  REPORT – Coach Feesler’s notes were read by Ashley Sanders

v     The proof of the fundraising cards will be ready anytime now.

v     Info packets and Panther Athletic Wear packets for the players can be picked up in Coach Feesler’s room.

v     The fields are in good condition with the exception of weeds on the infield.

v     The Varsity team will depart for Symmes Valley on Thursday, April 13.  The hotel they will be staying at will be the Holiday Inn, 800 3rd Ave., Huntington, WV.  The club does not have a block of rooms reserved for parents.  We have two games scheduled for Friday and two games on Saturday.  The admission is $4.00/day and we should bring chairs.

v     All Central District teams changed to a JV A and a JV B roster this year.  On March 10, we should know if we will have enough players for both teams or just one.

v     We will be utilizing the Web site www.pickeringtonpanthers.com to post updates.  If you have player/team photos that you would like posted on the Web site throughout the season, e-mail them to Jan Chandler at jchandler27@juno.com

 

 

VICE PRESIDENT’S  REPORT – Lori Sanders 

v     The players have their Panther Wear order forms.  The deadline to turn these back into their coaches is March 10.  We plan to have the orders back before spring break and possibly by March 26 at Meet the Team night.

v     Lori will make up the sign-up sheets for Meet the Team night, stressing that we need correct and current e-mail addresses for each parent (7th – 12th).

 

 

PRESIDENT’S  REPORT – Rob Cheripko

v     The fundraiser this year for the Big Boosters is through an online travel company where the Boosters will receive a portion of the commissions booked.  The site is www.PHSNTRAVEL.com

v     The Big Boosters would like a volunteer from each athletic club to serve on a fundraising committee.  Ken Furlong said he would be able to help out and any other interested volunteers need to contact Rob.

v     We need to have a Concessions coordinator volunteer to schedule workers, keep the stand stocked, and deliver the counted money to the Big Boosters Chairman.  Karen Doran and Barb Durthaler will do this and set up a time with Mary Beth Johann to review the system. 

 

 

OLD BUSINESS

v     The Fundraising Discount card kickoff will be March 11.  The players will have a week to sell 15 cards.  The Blitz day will be March 18 for those who haven’t sold their original 15. 

v     The Golf Outing is scheduled for September 17 at Willow Run.  Ten teams and three sponsors have committed verbally so far.  Todd Phillips will be the Sponsor/Donations Coordinator and will have an alpha sign-up list at Meet the Team night.  He will also provide a letter for parents to take with them to businesses.

v     Alan Tharp will make a flyer for this year’s Banner Sale.

v     We may be looking for one representative from each team to be on a Golf Committee.  We will have Team Representatives, Photographers, Banquet, and Golf sign-up sheets at Meet the Team night.
