No change since June. We made $66,334 last year, $20,334 over our $46,000 budget. For now, our 2014-2015 budget is $46,000.

Katherine said $800 remains in Teacher Appreciation funds. She bought an iHome for the teachers’ lounge and suggested buying chairs for the lounge. This year, we will allocate $3,000 for Teacher Appreciation. Last year, we budgeted $1,000 and raised $2,270.16.

CKS Night at the Lake Monsters raised $594 and the board liked the idea of using it to buy spiritwear for teachers.  

4.  Public Comment -- None

5.  Old Business

a.  CKS Golf Tournament Update -- Jon Hughes reported that we have $8,750 in sponsorships. Thirteen teams are registered; we can field 22. We are still gathering door prizes for the Sept. 12 event.

b.  New Family Liaison Information and Summer Playdates Report -- We plan to start earlier next year. Katherine suggested having one playdate on the same day that New Horizons comes to CKS with uniform samples. Both play dates this summer were cancelled.

c.  Fall Fundraisers update -- Katherine reported that Genevieve’s kicks off Friday, Sept. 5. We are adding Genevieve’s Gourmet, frozen dessert sales. All grades sell the same items.

d.  Lake Monsters Game report -- Jon Hughes reported that we earned $594, which was $3 for each of 198 tickets sold. Angela threw out the first pitch. Board decided to allocate Lake Monsters profits for Teacher Appreciation.

e.  Back to School Night Update -- Angela reported that the 6 p.m. Sept. 4 event will start earlier than last year. The three teachers’ sessions will be longer -- 28 minutes each. Katherine will have volunteer sign-ups available as well as Genevieve’s samples.  

f. 75th Anniversary Update -- Jon reported that the Gala will be on Sat. May 30 at the Hilton, which we are getting for no charge. Jon suggested that corporate sponsors could cover the cost of food, making the $100 tickets all profit. No decision has been made on having an auction/fund-raiser during the event. The Phil Abair band is a possible entertainer. The committee has selected a company to engrave memorial pavers for the church and school entrances.
