Fundraising

1. Band -

   1. Update on new uniforms: Cost is over $138,000…. $169,000

      1. The school has raised around $9,000 so far. A lot of small donations. Chris will send business donations

         
         

   2. Top priority is the jackets. Were these able to be purchased? Where did the money come from?

      1. Check submitted to the district for $35,000, so 164 jackets for $38,000 hopefully were purchased.

      2. 36 additional jackets are $8,496….could scale back to purchasing 11 additional jackets this year to fit next years band ...This gets us to 200 jackets (Could the rest of the jackets be purchased from the SNAP Funds?)

      3. Next priority is hat wraps - $11,000 for 175 (Could these be purchased from the SNAP Funds?)

      4. Gauntlets are next at $8267

   3. Band program might have funds remaining in their supplies budget to support some of the purchase at the end of the year.

2. Fruit Sales-

   1. Profit to Uniforms: $4,206

      
      

3. Sugar Bottom Bakery Cookie Fundraiser - JP update

   1. Profit: $700

   2. JP would also like to look at a future order for Choir in the spring.

4. Cake Auction - new idea, Liz Boughton

Additional Items:

Middle School Honor Band (Saturday, Feb. 21st)

a. Would FAME like to run concessions from 10:30-1:30 at the HS cafeteria that day?  Students like to grab quick snacks on their breaks or in addition to their lunch.  It is in the neighborhood of 240 students.

b. Would FAME like to sponsor coffee/donuts for all attending band directors from other districts?  This would be for about 30 individuals.  Donuts and coffee have been purchased from Dunkin' Donuts in the past (but could be from anywhere). Anne K. can order and pick up if FAME is willing to reimburse.  (This money would come from FAME Band Funds)

c. Would FAME like to provide lunch for our 3 guest conductors and 4 CCA Band staff from Jersey Mike's? 

(This money would come from FAME Band Funds)
