Membership: Sign up sheets to go around during the meeting. Phone-tree sign up lists to go out.

 

Publicity: Nothing to report, need information from Joel Rojo.

 

Fundraising: 4th of July food sales. We will not be getting any food donated that we can sell. There will be a meeting of groups from American tomorrow about July 4th at Burrito Loco. We should use stuff we already have to sell like lollipops. In the fall we have many fundraisers coming up. In the summer we have the Fun Company event on July 17th in Santa Cruz. Two other events have come up. One is Benicia on July 24th. With 37 staffers we can make $1300. Sept 11th in Concord we need about 30 people. Motion to approve to do the new events by Anne Damron and Nick Conover seconded.  There is Cold Stone where we make and serve the ice cream. Anthony will look more into that.

 

Director’s Report: We got $100 for taps played by David Carson. We also received  $166 for the Jazz Festival. Mr. Wong talked about the music program at American, showed a videotape of a past field show, played a CD of the field show for fall 2004, and talked about band camp, classes, and fundraising. Students were invited to talk about their experiences in band, and new students and parents were invited to ask questions about the music program.
