Athletic Director’s Report – Mrs. Karyn Holmes

Mrs. Holmes is back at the reigns of AD after a ten year hiatus. A lot has changed in ten years like cancelling games/practices because of the heat index. Karyn explained to the group that if the heat index is 104 degrees or higher, teams cannot have a game or practice outside until the heat index comes down. She thanked everybody for their patience and making the last minute adjustments due to the heat index. That was all new for her.

Karyn highlighted each team:

    • Swim is off to a great start with a meet at Marysville

    • Golf has a new coach, Will Hewett. He is doing a great job & they are off to a great start.

    • Football has Grosse Pointe South this week

    • Soccer has its first league play in the Red

    • Volleyball opens at home this Thursday and is on the road against Ford II on Tuesday

    • Cross Country opens Tuesday

    • Tennis has had a few cancellations because of rain and the heat index

-New Scores Table (interactive screen) has been approved and purchased for the gym. The district will pay for a third of the new table with the remainder of the funds coming from Basketball, Volleyball and the Athletic Booster Club.

-Wish lists have been emailed to the coaches. Due back to Karyn by 9/24/18. DeeDee McCollom asked who receives the wish list for LaCrosse. Mr. Ed Fromm receives the email and will forward it to the coach.

-Concessions needs help on Homecoming (10/5/18). The boosters club is responsible for staffing concessions for the upcoming homecoming game. Please let the boosters know if you can help or visit the facebook page and sign up via the sign up genius.

-Andrea Tisch asked if Karyn could explain why other teams help with the concessions for football. The concessions is one of the biggest fundraisers for all of our sport teams. Not every sport has a concession stand at their event, therefore, those teams that don’t are responsible for staffing the concessions during football season. Volleyball and Basketball have their own concessions and they staff it during their season. On occasion a call for help will go out to everybody requesting to help during basketball/volleyball season. There are always many ways to volunteer your time and services.

-Diann O’Connor is requesting that coaches email the Macomb Daily with their stats. This is where Diann pulls her information from for our social media communication.

New Business

    • $10,000 raffle fundraiser letters will go out in October. Let Tara Powrozek know if you would like to put on the wait list. The raffle will be held on February 7, 2019 at the Shelby Gardens

    • Euchre fundraiser is tentatively set for March 8th, 2019 at the Shelby Gardens $25/player $20/non-player

    • Coaches wish list: Mark Moehlig was in attendance to explain his wish list to the members. He has a bid for landscaping as he does every year to maintain the Varsity baseball field. Mark’s request is different then a typical wish list in that his bid exceeds $9000. He knows this is not obtainable, but he explained he will do his part “a’la carte” based on the funds the boosters can give him. All receipt will go through the boosters for payment as Mark spends the amount allotted to him. He appreciates all that the boosters have done for him and he will always do what he can with whatever funds. Someday the field will be perfect!

    • 50/50 raffle needs a chairperson. One person expressed interest and Tara has reached out to them. The band will be selling 50/50 at the home game this week to raise funds for the band. There are two more home games, one being homecoming, 50/50 could be sold at if we can get volunteers to sell the tickets.

    • Adrianna Schulz inquired about a Spirit Rock. The group discussed that it would be school wide and maybe talk to Mr. Lietz about it first.

    • Melissa Radtke mentioned that a deposit slip will be emailed to all coaches to use when turning in money to the boosters.

Old Business

Andrea Tisch mentioned that it would be a good idea to get some volunteers to learn the opening, closing and buying for concessions. This is her last year and she is happy to train anybody. Please contract Tara Powrozek if you are interested.

Almost all Fall Sports Schedules are complete.

Boys Baseball doing well although they lost to PHN this evening 7-0

Boosters received scholarship applications for 4 boys and 4 girls. So all 8 will receive a scholarship which will be announced at the Senior Awards Night. Once these candidates enroll in college classes, they may submit to new 2018-2019 Treasurer Melissa Radtke for their scholarship

Old Business

To round out the nominations for the 2018-2019 Athletic Booster Board, Katie Lelito nominated Jackie Guitar for the position of Vice President. Jackie Guitar accepted the nomination. The Current Board and all present voted unanimously in approval of Jackie Guitar as Vice President. The Board and all present then voted officially for all those nominated for Board positions last meeting. The following people were voted in unanimously for the 2018-2019 School Year. They are

Tara Powrozek – President

Katie Lelito – Secretary

Melissa Radke - Treasurer

Diann O’Connor announced that although she called many doctors, she could not find one doctor to come to Utica to perform on site Sports Physicals. Macomb Urgent Care has offered to give our student athletes a $5 coupon which brings their Sports Physical cost down to $20 and athletes may go to their location on a walk in basis to get their physicals. Everyone thought this was fine. Ideally we would like someone to come into Utica because Boosters typically offers these physicals as a fundraiser, and typically makes $1600 that evening. We will begin giving the flyer with $5 coupon to coaches, junior highs, and athletes.

The Euchre Night was once again a lot of fun. It generated $1692.49 this year. Last year we made $2650. One of the reasons for the decrease in income was because we made an error in the cost of entry ticket. $20 instead of $25. Also, there were approximately 50 less players and also 25 less attendees who just come to hang out and socialize.

Open to the Floor

-- Jackie Guitar mentioned that it would be a good idea to have a dry erase board or something outside concession stand letting everyone know what group is working the concession stand that evening.. Everyone agreed that would be nice.

--This Friday are team sports pictures, Diann O’Connor will post the form on facebook for parents to use.

--Locks inside the Swinehart Concession Stand need attention. Some don’t work and some are missing. Andrea Tisch will mark with tape the ones that are broken and Mr. Vigus will call district office to have someone come and repair.

--Mr. Vigus acknowledged the graciousness of the Guitar Family for taking in a foreign exchange student whose situation didn’t work out. Thank you so much for helping out a student in need.

--Homecoming is the Warren Mott Game October 5, 2018

--Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to the retiring 2017-2018 Athletic Booster Board. Your years of hard work and planning are greatly appreciated by all parents.
