Executive Board members present were: Helen Brown, Melanie Ogren, Joel Konkel, Kate Cleveland, Erika Kusjanovic, and Christiane Pitts. Also in attendance were Heidi Daigle and Patrick Humphrey.

  A quorum being present, the meeting was called to order at 7:01 PM.

  As the Aeros Booster Club Players' Appreciation Banquet is coming up on February 15^th, current and possible silent auction donations were discussed.

  No minutes were available for approval, due to computer malfunctions.

  Joel presented the treasurer's report which showed that we made a "profit" of $60 on the Aeros Military Night tickets, and it was suggested that we donate the funds to Kids Unlimited. Incoming cash from banquet tickets was added in. Christiane moved to accept the Treasurer's report, seconded by Erika, and unanimously accepted.

  Old and current business up for discussion included the upcoming Booster Club trip to Beaumont for a Wildcatters game, distribution of the 50 free tickets that the Booster Club received for the Aeros Military Night donation, banquet details, and the player's gifts for the banquet.

  30 tickets were available for the Wildcatters game. The possibility of arriving early enough to join a tailgating party was also discussed. The club unanimously decided to donate the 50 tickets to Kids Unlimited for the game on April 13^th. Banquet setup is to start at 3 PM. Melanie researched a new supplier for thermal mugs for the players and staff prices and quantities were discussed. Kate moved to accept this business, seconded by Erika, and unanimously voted for by the board.

  Melanie introduced the topic of player awards for the banquet. She researched and found a new design including a base. Heidi offered to research one other company for pricing comparisons. The deadline for voting for favorite players is February 1^st. The order must be to the engineer by February 2^nd.   The board then discussed nominations for the individual James Domengeaux Service Award. Both Curtis Murphy and Olyn Taylor nominated. Erika moved to accept Curtis Murphy for the award, seconded by Christiane, and unanimously voted for by the board. Christiane moved to also accept Olyn Taylor for the award. This was seconded by Kate, and unanimously voted for by the board.

  Fundraising at Toyota Center was discussed. The board, with the help of Erika, concluded that the idea should be scrapped for this season. The idea will be brought up again at the beginning of next season.

  It was decided that, due to the banquet, we would not hold a February meeting, and wait until March instead.

  A motion was presented to adjourn the meeting at 8:22 PM and passed unanimously.
