Financials At close of 2016-2017 fiscal year we will have an $8,394.30 balance. Plus expected additions from RAAA and a Tartan donation for gym space rental. These have not been posted. 2016-17 Revenues were $22,265.62. Expenses were $19,558.27. Revenues include $7,382.29 for SNAP Fundraiser. 2016-17 Banquet cost will fall in the 2017-18 expense because of banquet date being in new fiscal year (April 5, 2017) -- approximately $1300. Banquet date for 2018 will be April 8 th at Old Chicago, which will occur in the following fiscal year. Fiscal year is April 1 st --March 31 st. 2017-18 Budget Proposed for Approval: $8,394.30 balance carry-over. Planned Expenses: $21,590. Planned Revenues: $15,050. o Recognized large balance expected to pay for uniforms ($5900+) and cover additional shortfalls. o Recognized need to fill the planned deficit of approximately $6500 with yet unplanned and undetermined 2017-18 fundraiser. Proposed Fundraising Subcommittee to provide proposed fundraisers (e.g., a second MYAS tournament, repeating SNAP, other?) Dale motioned to approve the proposed 2017-18 budget as it currently stands knowing that we have set a goal of ~$6500.00 in additional fundraising to offset expenses. Sarah Willmott seconded. Budget was Approved. (Pat and Michelle will made necessary minor adjustments to budget and send out final budget.) Additional Discussion and Review of Budget Line Items: With annual need for a fundraiser of about $6000, Dale suggested a Fundraising Sub-Committee. (In 2016-17, this was filled with SNAP Fundraiser. Other options should be considered for future years. Subcommittee -- Lise Freking, Mark Janssen, Coach Orr, Craig Francois. If anyone else interested, let Dale know. Idea that individual thank you videos be created showing athlete. (Mark Janssen?) Program Sub-Committee Game program advertisement generated $3567 in revenues, cost $749 to produce, for net gain of $2818. Dale proposed a Program Committee to increase this net revenue to $5000 in 2017-18, which has been included approved budget.
Subcommittee -- Dale Freking, Lise Freking. Also suggested that each parent get one advertisement for program. Booster Fee Question was posed why we do not charge one? Many other teams charge it, but Coach has tried not to do this because we do a bigger donation fundraiser (i.e. Snap in 2016). Football Game Concessions Usually earn $500/game for concessions. Need approximately 10-12 volunteers per game. Should get 4 regular-season football games, and 1 first-round playoff game, for total revenue in 2018-19 fiscal year of $2500. Cub Foods Bagging Coach Orr will let Shelly Larson know the available weekends for volunteering. Shelly Larson will secure a date from Cub Fundraising Ideas Paypal instead of Snap. Snap charges 23% off the top of our donations. Paypal would not have a % fee. Coach will like to see the girls earning this rather than a straight-out donation. Cub Bagging brings in approximately $80-$100/hour. VFW Meat Raffle/Table Bussing. Becca Francois will try to find out how to arrange this and estimated earnings. Halftime Frisbie Toss. 11 home games next season. *Additional fundraising ideas please email Coach Orr. Will be brought to future Fundraising Sub- Committee.
