Old Business:

   Melanie advised that the confusion for signing on the bank account has been cleared up. David, Erika, and Kristi need to go by Compass Bank with their paperwork.

   There are now 88 members. 26 are family memberships and 17 are individual memberships. Only 12 do not have a volunteer opportunity selected. Erika made lists of all volunteers and Ivan distributed the lists to the committee liaisons.

   There were 21 members present at the Feed the Team event held on November 3, 2007. It was very successful.

   Melanie stated that the bylaws need to be updated on the website and she would provide the new set to Patrick and Ivan for posting.

   Ivan contacted Scott Henninger with the Aeros office regarding the link on the website. It still needs to be corrected.

   Melanie talked with Joyce Morris regarding the booster club shirts. Joyce said that she would check on the price for the shirts.

   The next general membership meeting is scheduled for November 12, 2007 at SRO. Jason Shaver, Scott Henninger, and Patrick Armstrong from the Aeros office will be in attendance. An email will be sent out to the membership. Also, a second general membership meeting will be held on December 18, 2007 and two players will be in attendance.

   The membership forms at the booster club table need to be updated removing the early bird special prices. The table committee still needs volunteers to work during the games. David stated that he would bring the note cards and envelopes to Barbara.

   No banquet date is set. There could be a decision on a date by Friday, November 9th. As soon as the date is set, letters requesting donations need to be sent out. We need donations for some items other than sports memorabilia. Possible donations were discussed. We will talk to Kids Unlimited regarding receipts on letterhead if someone requests a tax receipt.

New Business:

   Scrapbooks were discussed. David made a motion to allow not more than $150 for the purchase of scrapbook supplies. Tom seconded and the motion was passed unanimously.

   The amount of $34.25 was collected for Military Night. Melanie asked if we should roll the money over to Guns & Hoses Night since we do not have very much to donate to Military Night and there is not time to collect additional donations. David advised there was also $60 in the account left over from last year to donate. If there is $450 donated, the Aeros will give the booster club 50 tickets and those will be donated to Kids Unlimited. Ivan made a motion to delay a decision until the next meeting to see if more donations are received. Margaret seconded. The motion to delay was passed unanimously.
