June Minutes
Norwalk Athletic Booster Club
On June 2, 2019, NABC President Kent Wulf called the May meeting to order at
7:02pm. Thirteen were in attendance including: Kent Wulf, Kara Greenlee, Sara
Reece, Jen and Andy Kreider, Zach Lipovac, A1 Lammers, Aanna Hoch, Ashlee
Knickerbocker, Nancy LaVelle, Mary Knickerbocker, Tammy Randall and Diane
Ellis.
PECC representatives Tammy Randall and Diane Ellis were present and provided
the NABC board an update on their fundraising plan and progress. They highlighted
their efforts to raise awareness of the project through upcoming community events
like the 4th of July festivities, RAGBRAI and the Norwalk Music Fest. They've also
contacted local celebrities to be "hometown heroes" where they record a message/
short video to share on social media and at events asking for donations/raising
awareness. In July the PECC committee will be contacting businesses in Norwalk
and the surrounding area regarding giving to the project. They've also begun
identifying grant opportunities. In August their plan is to get in front of community
and begin the push to raise private funds encouraging fun pledge parties, matching
gift challenges and the like. In August they will also present more information to
the community through school functions.
The PECC team formally asked for financial assistance to cover the marketing
expenses and promotional items. The PECC committee asked the boosters to donate
$2500 toward those expenses. In addition, they've asked the NABC to donate to the
project with a larger gift. Upon discussion the board agreed to the $2500 donation
for marketing and promotional material and tabled an official decision on the large
donation the board will make this fall toward the PECC. The NABC will make that
announcement and presentation at the first home football game in September.
Upon a motion duly made by Kara Greenlee, seconded by Andy Kreider the NABC
unanimously approved a $2500 donation for marketing expenses for the PECC.
Secretary's Report: Aanna Hoch reviewed the minutes from the May 2019
meeting. Upon a motion duly made by Jen Kreider, seconded by Nancy LaVelle and
unanimously carried, the minutes from the May 2019 meeting were approved.
Treasurer's Report: Sara Reece, NABC Treasurer, presented the June financial
reports noting just one expense paid out of the activity pass fund. Financial reports
are available for review.
Upon a motion duly made by Andy Kreider, seconded by Kara Greenlee and
unanimously carried, the financial reports for June 2019 were approved.
Concession Report: Mary Knickerbocker provided a concession report noting
that the popcorn machine used in the both the middle school concession stand and
the ball field concession stand has sadly broken. Mary has agreed to research the
best option, pricing and resource for popcorn poppers and will report back to the
board next month. The board has encouraged her to look at purchasing two machines
to reduce the need to move machines from one concession stand to the other, hopefully
resulting in the longevity of each machine. Mary also made the suggestion to increase
the concessions at Middle School events as they now have a nice, fully functioning
concession stand. Middle School AD Zach Lipovac agreed that the idea is good but
doesn't believe that they will be able to staff it with Middle School parents noting
that he has a difficult time getting parents to volunteer for the simplest tasks.
Coach's Wish List: HS Softball - $806.00 for softballs and other equipment.
Upon a motion duly made by Sara Reece, seconded by Nancy LaVelle and
unanimously carried, the HS Softball expense was approved. HS Girls Soccer -
$171.00 for Coach Apparel. Upon a motion duly made by Aanna Hoch, seconded by
Mary Knickerbocker and unanimously carried, the HS Girls Soccer expense was
approved." HS Boys and Girls XC - $500/each team for transportation to team
training camp in Colorado. Upon a motion duly made by Mary Knickerbocker,
seconded by Sara Reece and unanimously carried, the HS XC team's expenses were
approved.
Membership Report: Jen Kreider was present to report that this month showed
membership down $3,295 from the same time last year. 2018-19 membership thru
end of June is $50,620.09.01 with just one new member in June.
Technology: Andy Kreider presented the technology report noting that our
League Lineup subscription has expired and he has moved the NABC over to using
all Google forms for free. Andy has also worked on implementing Jotform for the
annual Golf Tournament registration. If not fully functioning for the tournament
this year, it will be in place next year.
The Norwalk Shop: No report from The Norwalk Shop this month. President
Wulf will follow up with Chad regarding making additional payments.
Athletic Directors Report: Zach Lipovac, Middle School AD, reported that the
summer softball and baseball season wrapped up this week. The summer sport
seasons experienced nice weather and thankfully the middle school fields are in
good shape. He is in the process of preparing for the fall seasons noting that parent
meetings will occur during the first few days of practice for each fall sport. He
extended his thanks again to the boosters for supporting the MS athletes with new
uniforms, gear, and equipment this year.
A1 Lammers, High School AD, reported that baseball and softball seasons are 2/3
done. Softball ranked 11th and have received a first round bye in the district
tournament. Norwalk will host regional games. Baseball sub-state brackets are
out, pairings are not made or announced yet. The AD office hired a new office
assistant.
Public Relations: Nancy LaVelle reported that all of the recognition cards have
been sent to the spring athletes. Over 50 cards sent in all marking a successful
spring season!
Special Events: Ashlee Knickerbocker provided a report regarding the upcoming
NABC Golf Tournament noting that most items and plans are in place. After some
discussion it was determined that the board would not seek raffle prizes this year
but instead, have a 50/50 raffle for both the morning and afternoon sessions and
possibly introduce the purchase of mulligans for the tournament. Ashlee asked the
board to talk with their assigned businesses to get golf hole sponsorships. She
highlighted that the food has been discussed with Fareway and Matt Elliot, the tee
times are nearly full and Ashlee is working on securing all of the volunteers for the
event.
Old Business: The NABC annual meeting is next month. The board is encouraged
to seek new participation and involvement from parents and interested community
members.
New Business: No new items were presented to the board.
With no further items to discuss, Kent Wulf entertained a motion for adjournment.
On a motion duly made by Nancy Lavelle and seconded by Mary Knickerbocker the
NABC Meeting adjourned at 8:31pm.
The next meeting is Wednesday, July 31st at 7pm followed by the Annual Meeting
at 8pm where the 2019-2020 NABC Board will be elected. Both meeting are held in
the Norwalk High School Library.
Respectfully Submitted,
Aanna Hoch, NABC Board Secretary
