Hey Everyone,--- NEXT MEETING(s) 3/21,4/4,4/18,5/2,5/9,5/16!

Sorry for the delay in catching up, but I had some personal issues that needed priority. Thanks to all who attended and we hope to see more faces at the upcoming meetings—things will really speed up after spring break!

Below are the high lights of the meeting:

Budget: Currently about $40,500 in bank. Main expenditures were ½ payment to Main Event, carpet and decorations for promenade.

Voting:

A)Voted down proposal for additional $500 on video for promenade as kids exited limos.

B) Voted on making the sr. video about 45 min. in length. This will be played at the sr. breakfast and every senior will receive a copy.

C) Vote to give $50 gift card to every senior attending Main Event with a few big prizes to be given

Discussions: Question was asked about those who do not pay the $100. Do they receive chances at big prizes?

Proposals- All seniors are allowed to come and participate fully ($55 to walk in Main Event and $50 gift card) and receive one ticket chance at big prizes with those paying $100 receiving an extra ticket in big

prize drawings. This would be handled prior to drawing and kids would told in advance at meeting

about prom expectations.

OR All seniors are allowed to come, participate, and win regardless of payment.

Currently 1/3 of class has paid, so 1/3 if paying for 2/3.

This was tabled until the next meeting and we will discuss and vote on the issue. Several other classes

Have done the first proposal and 2012 is also planning on doing it. Please consider how you feel and come vote.

I have requested a meeting with the seniors to give information about $100- to please pay- senior dates, and expectations hopefully right after spring break.

Volunteers needed for the Main Event night—contact Brenda Willis brendawillis1@att.net or Debbie Purnell 817 437 5468 jndp@uwmail.com

Work Dates for prom: 5/7, 5/14, 5/19 @AHS

Words cannot express how very thankful I am for all of your help in organizing the homecoming dance. We made $2100.00!!! We now have $10,500. Once again, thank you to everyone that helped in any capacity!! I couldn’t do this without you.

Attached is the Homecoming dance flyer with the pertinent information (click). We have had a great response getting decorations.

Penny O’Donnell – Christmas lights

Laura Place – Texas flag, black bandanas, etc…

Sheri Hall – southwestern blankets/tablecloths

Molly Carter – small saddle, cow skull

Thank you for the artificial sunflowers that were dropped off – not sure where they came from!

Gloria Barron, several people have mentioned that you have western style decorations from Brittany’s senior year???? Also, it was suggested that we have a “Rope the Steer” activity for the ones that don’t dance. Anyone have this???? We still need water and dr. pepper products for the concessions. Several have committed to provide the following…

Estee Rinehart – case of water
Kenda Riney – water
Ginny Butterfield – water
Kittle France – sodas/waters, snack packs
Leslie Leech – orange soda
Corinne Breshears – cookies
Joy Powell – drinks
Wendy Weiss - water

Drinks can be iced down on Saturday when we are decorating. We can use the ice from the trainer’s room. You can drop the donations off in the front office. I will pick them up.

****Chaperones needed*****

Kenda Riney and Lauren McClellen have volunteered. We need six parent chaperones at all times during the evening. 8-9:30 and 9:30-11. Please email me if you are willing to help chaperone and what shift works for you!

We will decorate on Saturday afternoon. I send an email telling a specific time once I find out when the building will be available.

Thanks in advance for all you are doing!

Another home football game is coming up this week and we need volunteers to help sell tickets for the 50/50 split-the-pot fundraiser. This is a pretty simple job and requires no previous experience. We need one person to work the Class of 2011 table selling tickets and at least four or five other people who can stand near the front gate or near the concession stand and sell tickets. If you can work or know some agreeable senior class member that will work, send an email to me (or call) with your name and the time you can work. Please encourage your seniors to help sell tickets as this fundraising effort is entirely for their benefit.

The shifts will be as follow:

Shift 1 - 7:00 until 7:30
Shift 2 - 1^st quarter
Shift 3 - 2^nd quarter
Shift 4 - half time

Thanks, John Pierce

In order to help raise money for the 2011 Project Celebration, I need volunteers to help sell tickets for the 50/50 split-the-pot fundraiser. The rules for the fundraiser are pretty simple and are included with this email. I’ll be there for the ticket draw and for delivery of the winning ticket to the broadcast booth but I need volunteers to help sell the tickets. I would like to have at least five or six people for each shift. One person will man the 2011 fundraiser table and the rest will post themselves strategically around the front gate and near the concession stand. If you can work or know of some obliging senior class member that will work, send an email to me (or call) with your name and the time you can work. Please encourage your seniors to help sell tickets as this fundraising effort is entirely for their benefit.

The shifts will be as follow:

Shift 1 - 7:00 until 7:30

Shift 2 - 1^st quarter

Shift 3 - 2^nd quarter

Shift 4 - half time

Thanks,

Here's the Stephenville assignments: (click)

Thank you to all who are volunteering for the Stephenville game. Hopefully someone will take this over at our meeting on Monday. Attached is the assignments and contact info. The kids are being contacted and given instructions and there will be a folder with written instructions at the table. Kittie France or I will set the table up so if you have questions please go there. P arking lot people just check for the correct pass that matches the lot you are guarding. A list of those who can park there should be in the box with the vests and lights. Also, you may re-enter the game. I’m sending a list of workers to John Branson the stadium manager just in case. Thanks again and go BEARCATS!!!

Meeting date: Monday, August 30^th AHS cafeteria at 6: 00PM Thanks again guys everyone came through!!

Kathy Jacobs

2010 August 25th:

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen,

I’m now in panic mode. We have plenty of volunteers for the table, kids for the 50/50 and the beginning shifts of the parking lots. However, I have only one person working the remaining parking lot shifts. So please if your child is not playing in the game or cheering consider working even one shift. If not I’m going to have to ask the junior class take this over and bye-bye $2000 dollars.

Shifts remaining BOTH LOTS A And B ---7-2^nd quarter

End of 2^nd- 3^rd.

At this point if you can work even one quarter it would help!

2010 August 22nd:

Project Celebration Parents,

Welcome back and welcome to the senior year!! We're going to blink and they will be walking across that stage, but not before we enjoy and cherish every moment in between! Our meeting is Monday, August 30th at 6:00 PM in the AHS cafeteria. Mr. Peterson, the new AHS principal, will be attending and introducing himself. In addition, we have lots to discuss and decide. First and foremost is to staff the table, 50/50, and parking lot for next Friday's opener(August against Stephenville. Our class makes about $2000 just for guard dogging these lots. We also need a coordinator for this duty. Below are the shifts:

Parking Lot: A B

5:00-7:00 PM Jill/Tom Johnson

7:00-End of 1st

2nd- 3rd quarter

We need about 4 people in each lot especially for this game. In fact, we could use 1-2 people as early as 4:30 PM. This is per the stadium manager, John Bransom.

We need table and 50/50 volunteers and a 50/50 coordinator-- last year they made about $3000 from these ticket sales! The kids can help with the 50/50 but they may not go up into the stands to sell tickets.

The shifts for the table and 50/50 are 30 minutes before game time, and per quarter up through 3rd. This is probably our biggest game; therefore, possibly the biggest revenue night! If we can not get the volunteers then I will need to pass it on to the class below us, so please help. Unfortunately, this is the only game I'm unable to attend due to the varsity volleyball girls playing at an out-of-town tournament.

Please contact me asap if you can assist in any way!

2010 May 11th:

Okay guys—The rain day for the carnival is May 29^th as this is a car show and these people are very protective of their cars. My concern is with the cake walk!! Cookies and candy might last til then but not cakes. I’m waiting on a response as to how far out they will call off the show!! So here is my cell 817 807 3071 for those of you who are baking or helping. I will also send an e-mail out when I receive any updates.

Kathy Jacobs

2010 May 10th:

Hey Everybody—

Please don’t forget the Ace Hardware Car Show/Carnival this Saturday, May 15^th. (12-4:00 PM) If you have volunteered to make a cake or dessert for the cake walk you can either deliver it to me at AMS on Thursday/Friday Room #505 or bring it by the carnival Saturday morning prior to it starting. I will be by 10:00 to start setting up. Right now we have about 25 people bringing cakes so we need at least 10 more. Also, if you have offered tables or the canopy please contact me so I can make arrangements to get these items prior to that morning or again drop them off by the middle school. Thank you.

Kathy Jacobs

Hey Everybody,

We need some food for our promenade workers. Please check the list below! You can drop it off at the high school after 1;30 PM on the day of prom (May 21^st)

Kathy

Kathy,

We need to secure a room for the "hospitality room" for the day of Promenade. Is it possible to get that room we meet in? If not, is there any room that would be close by? We need at least two 6 ft tables and some chairs.

I want to solicit some help before I buy food. I know that you are already bringing chips/queso. No one else signed up. Could we send an email and ask for volunteers for the following:

2 liter drinks - 10 or so

water bottles

chips

croissants - for sandwiches Approx 30

cake - 1 or 2

Brownies 1 or 2

Quaker Chewy Bars Variety Pack

Sweet and Salty Trail Mix

10 or so pieces of washed fruit

Anything non- perishable could be brought to me at the next meeting. The other stuff they could just contact me and we can arrange to meet or they could bring it to the High School at a certain time on that Friday. If they don't bring it to the meeting, I'll assume I need to purchase what we need.

If I need to contact Jada about the room, just let me know.

There following are a few things people were going to look into. If you were one of those please email me with the status:

*I emailed Dawn Trimmer about a DP donation but never heard a response, I have been told that sometimes my emails go to spam, so maybe she didn't receive it. If you know the Trimmer family, would you please ask if they could help us out with a small donation. 6-10 cases would be plenty. Let me know if you will try to contact them.

*We were looking into taking pictures of each team as they begin to play and then put them in a little thank you frame or card. Someone was going to talk to a friend about taking the pictures. Any news? I need someone to take this on if we want to go forward with this.

*I have water and beer donated and Mobile Margaritas is donating the machines and mix, we just have to supply the tequila.

We need teams!!! Get your family,friends and co-workers to come spend an afternoon playing golf while helping your kids!!! We are on our way to making this tournament a HUGE success!!!

Parents,

Bruce Frantz is offering our class an opportunity to make some money by working concessions for two Middle School track meets: Feb.26th and April 4th.

Feb 26th starts around 4:30 until about 9:00 and April 4th is all day (8:00- 5:00). We would need 2-3 people for shifts of about 2-3 hours. This would be a great opportunity to put the kids to work and make some

“gravy” money for our class. Bruce has even suggested we could spilt the April 4th event with the class of 2010. The last time we worked half a 2A play-off game our class earned almost $900. I won’t commit to this unless I have the bodies to work it, so PLEASE help. I really think this is easy money for our class!! E-mail or call me at 817 807 3071 by Thursday so I can let Bruce know.
