Since this was the first year he believes next year they will improve and it will get bigger and better. Next year they will advertise it more.

Bulldog cards were distributed to the players today. They were each given 25 cards to sell. The money goes directly back to team account for new uniforms etc…This is the largest coaches fundraiser of the year. On the 18th the coaches will check on the players and really want them to have sold 20 each by then. By the 21st they would like to have all of them sold. If any are unsold they will go out in groups to finish selling them.

This event will take place on August 6^th. The coaching staff will take the lead on this fundraiser.

Coach Ortega will get a cost of the binders he would like each player to have.

New Business:

Coach Sandoval gave a recap of the Adams State Football Camp. Overall the camp went really well.

We were the largest school there with 43 players

6 other schools attended
Palmer Ridge came ready to play us and other top schools
Ran a total of about 140 plays
All players got many reps in
2 trips to the Emergency Room-One player with a shoulder injury
The cost of the bus was $500.00 less than last year
They did have to switch buses for electrical reasons

Coach Ortega said that there was a lot of team bonding and that all the players behaved really well and even received a compliment (and a free meal!). The players enjoyed themselves when they put on a skit and imitated the coaching staff. Teambuilding is a lifetime memory for the players and he thanked the Booster Club for help in achieving this.

Coach Sandoval informed the group that there is a Combine 6/13/10 Sunday in Wyoming that 9 Seniors and Juniors are going to attend.

Chris Russell reported that he did send a $100.00 floral arrangement to the family of the owner of Mojo’s who passed away.

Chris Russell reported that he paid $10.00 for the business license and $30.00 for the web domain.

New Freshman class Representative is Dave Janousek.

Coach Ortega has information that he will pass on to Chris Russell regarding items to sell online from Denver Athletics.

Dave Janousek informed the group of the upcoming BYAFL playoff and championship games that will be taking place in Brighton in November. The dates are 11/7/10 and possibly 11/17/10. This will provide the Football program with a fundraising opportunity.

Charlotte Romero asked a question regarding the new $100.00 fee and what will happen to those players who cannot afford to pay the $100.00 sports fee the district will be charging. Chris Russell replied that he would like to set money aside for this specific purpose. More information needs to be provided to the Booster club from the Athletic Director’s Office so we can decide who and how much per player. Treasurer Rob Michel believes there is a form that will need to be created and maybe there is one all ready set up. As of now Chris Russell has this subject on hold until more information is gathered and at the next meeting we can make a definite decision.
