Old Business

Hydration Scrimmage. We discussed the upcoming hydration scrimmage and the need to have somebody head this up. We also discussed needing to have food for the parent meeting. It was agreed that the booster club will provide the meats and each class will be responsible for different sides. Heather Sell will come up with a list.

50/50 Raffle for Jamboree. Coach Daniels is going to follow up with Coach Bruffett to see if we can get a signed Lunkers ball to do a 50/50 raffle at the Jamboree.

Concessions and Food Sign ups. Amber Galindo passed around the updated sheets for concessions and food sign ups. Justine Lashure has the middle school schedule to send around to get the middle school games added to the sign up sheet. It was discussed that we really need to get parents to sign up. If there is no coverage, then there is no open concession stand. We discussed how we can build this and get more involvement. We discussed trying to see if we can get the middle school players and parents involved as well.

Non-exempt/bank account status. We are still waiting for our application to get approved. We can’t get the bank account until that comes back. Treasurer Heather Sell said she will get a personal account if need be within the next 4 weeks if we don’t hear something soon.

Carwash. The carwash on July 12 had a great turn out, and we raised $1,034. We

discussed that we should try to do another after school starts. What can we do to make it better next time?

Ledger. The current balance is $2,879.00 plus a check Coach Daniels gave us at the beginning of the meeting for reimbursement in the amount of $622 and two other checks. We discussed how we want the ledger posted on the website.

Justin Thomas. Alumni Chair Justin Thomas is working with Hy-vee to get the away JV meals covered.

New Business

Opening of officer positions. President and Secretary’s son has decided he wants to quit the team, which means pursuant to the by-laws, they cannot be officers. Discussion was had on what to do. The by-laws to not address this issue.

Voting: How should board positions be filled upon a vacancy of more than one spot? After a vote, it was voted that the positions will all be revoted on at an upcoming meeting to give time to anyone interested to be present. The bylaws shall be amended accordingly. Both Tracie Grube and Lora Chrisman indicated they might be interested in a position if necessary.

The next meeting is scheduled for July 29 at the same location.

1) Coach Daniels talked about the coaches’ need for hoodies with pockets as well as shirts. He is going to get with Coach DeFreece to find out how much that will cost and get back to us. He also talked about how we need to find a way to pay the volunteer coaches. Coach Kiser would be one and then they are trying to find one more. It would be $2,500 each for a total of $5,000.

2) Allying with other clubs. We talked about building a friendship between band and football. We want to see where the two can possibly help each other.

3) Yard line fundraiser. We talked about the current layout of the fundraiser and how we want to revamp it. At Homecoming we will set it up. Yard lines will be $5 each. Wherever the ball is at the 1st and 3rd quarter will determine the winners. Each winner will receive a $20 concession stand voucher. If this is successful, we may do it at more home varsity games.

4) 50/50 Fundraiser. We talked about trying to do a 50/50 fundraiser at the hydration scrimmage. We are going to see if we can possibly get a signed Lunker’s ball from Coach Bruffett.

5) Merchant Store. We discussed the idea of getting an online merchant store that can run throughout the season or see if we can get something set up during games in the concession stand area.

6) Old Inventory. We talked about the leftover football t-shirts from prior seasons. Rather than keeping them for an unknown amount of time, we are going to see if we can have the cheerleaders throw them out to the crowd during Varsity games.

7) Voting Issue #1 - Bylaws

- President Vincent Galindo asked if everyone who wanted to had reviewed the bylaws. We then voted to see if those are the bylaws we would like for the Parkview High School Viking Football Booster Club. The Bylaws passed unanimously 12-0.

Voting Issue #2 – Bank

- President Vincent Galindo explained that for us to get a bank account set up, we have to vote on the bank. We discussed the requirements that BluCurrent Credit Union provided. Treasurer Heather Sell discussed a few that she called including Great Southern Bank, Central Bank, and couple credit unions. After discussion among the members, it was voted unanimously 12-0 for the Parkview High School Viking Football Booster Club to use BluCurrent Credit Union.

Voting Issue #3 – Vice President

- President Vincent Galindo opened the floor and announced that Justine Lashure was the only person who indicated wanting to run for Vice President. He asked if anybody else was interested and nobody volunteered. Because there were no opponents, Justine Lashure has been appointed as Vice President of the Parkview High School Viking Football Booster Club for the 2025-2026 school year.

8) Facebook Issues. We discussed the scammers trying to post things on our booster club facebook page. To try to deter that, new members are now required to answer questions to be allowed to join. Additionally, we will be selective on who can post in the page to keep it from getting cluttered.

8) Other Fundraising Ideas. We discussed other fundraising ideas. Treasurer Heather Sell brought up the idea of a car wash. Members agreed it would be better to try to do that in late July, if possible. We also discussed the idea of doing a “coach/parent/etc tackle” at the hydration scrimmage.

9) Sponsorship Tier. Sponsorships were again discussed. We are waiting on Coach DeFreece to make us a pretty graphic regarding the levels so we can get them passed around.

- Tier 4 - Minimum $250 gets sponsorship on website

- Tier 3 - $500 gets Tier 4 plus logo on shirt and on vinyl sign

- Tier 2 - $1,000 gets Tiers 3 & 4 plus logo on score video board

- Tier 1 - $2,000 gets Tiers 2, 3, & 4 plus commercial played during game

For anyone who donates (i.e. meals) for that week, they will be put on the screen.

10) Concession Sign Ups. We again discussed getting people signed up for concessions. Members agree it might be helpful to try to get other clubs involved.

11) Game/Team Meals. We discussed the need to get these covered. An idea was presented that we have each class cover a meal so they can see what all goes into it.

12) JV Games. Adam Grube suggested we see how we go about getting somebody to announce at the JV games. A few ideas were thrown out and we will address this further at our next meeting.

Next Meeting: July 14, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at Pasta Express on Republic Road
