WALL OF FAME
Did you seen the black and gold banners hanging at the football field? They represent Woodford County ’s Wall of FAME. Local merchants have bought the banners as a good way to show school spirit as well as advertise for their company. With a donation of $350 to the Athletic Boosters, you too can show your Woodford County spirit as well! Currently we have 77 businesses and professionals who have purchased a banner to hang. The banners have now been moved to the basketball court.  Call Ginny Eckert at 873-3342 for more information.

WCHS ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB [ABC] 04/13/04 MEETING MINUTES

 On 04/13/04 President Tracey Sobolewski called the meeting to order. She welcomed Paul Stahler, Gail Bender and Don Gross and thanked them for attending.  

Mike Taylor made a motion to accept the March meeting minutes, seconded by Ginny Eckert and it passed. The 2004 minutes have been posted on WCHS’ website at www.woodford.k12.ky.us/wchs/  

Jack Zeleznik gave the treasurer’s report [attached to original minutes]. Betty Thornton made a motion to accept it, was seconded by Teresa Varble and it passed.  

Sue Sanders stated that workers were needed for Baseball’s WCI scheduled for April 23rd & 24th.  

Tracey Sobolewski stated that the new Weight Room equipment had been delivered.  

Paul Stahler [referenced a letter he had sent] stated that there was some confusion regarding fundraisers by ABC. He stated that he had always made the assumption that if an ABC fundraiser was approved by the School Board the monies were deposited into the school’s athletic account not ABC’s.  

Gail Bender stated that if children were involved with fundraisers they had to be Board approved and monies raised by students went into the school’s account.  

Athletic Director Joe Carr asked if there was a problem accepting donations.  

Paul Stahler stated that the Board should approve them.  

Tracey Sobolewski asked if WCI’s counted since parents worked them.  

Paul Stahler stated that concessions were done by ABC.  

Sam Watkins stated that he would like to see the Board approveout-of-county fundraisers.  

Bob Gibson stated that the last few years all had gone well and requested a proposal from the School Board regarding fundraisers. He stated that he wanted ABC to continue to receive monies from banner sales and concessions.

Jack Zeleznik stated that the legality of it needed to be considered and we had one not several different “booster clubs” for athletics.  

Gail Bender stated that ABC was legal. She stated that until 4 years ago the school systems in Kentucky were allowed to go on trips and received funds for mileage. Then, the Department of Education determined that only the cost of transportation could be turned in and came up with $0.92 a mile. She stated that the Board did not currently have the money and would not know until August what the amount of next year’s funds would be for fiscal year, which starts July 1st. She stated that when there was money some would be sent for transportation and it varied year to year since it was from one-time money. She asked Jack Zeleznik of he had filed tax forms for state and federal this year.  

Jack Zeleznik stated that he had already filed 2003 tax forms.  

After much discussion Paul Stahler and Tracey Sobolewski agreed to meet together and finalize the following five points regarding fundraising:  

          1]       Fundraisers held outside of Woodford County

          2]       WCI’s for various sports

          3]       Limitation of two fundraisers per team

          4]       Deposit of monies and raised on behalf of whom

          5]       Students working  

Paul Stahler requested that from this there would be a proposal made to School Board at their next meeting scheduled for June 3rd.  

The next ABC Meeting was scheduled for May 11, 2004 , at 7:00 p.m. at WCHS. Becky Wilder made a motion to adjourn, Elizabeth Schreiner seconded and it passed.  

Respectfully submitted,
