                                            vii.     School Store Pre Orders/tshirts – waiting on final bill from vendor

 

3.     School Store/Spirit Wear/Fall Line

a.     T-shirt pre order campaign went well, but not as well as we thought (~$400 net sales from this)

                                               i.     These orders are currently a week delayed due to vendor delays

b.     Definitely had a lot of learnings from this as there were several backend costs that we were not aware of, thinking of what we can do differently next time 

c.     Potential items for the fall line include - scarves, zip up hoodie, pj pants, travel mugs, baseball hats and some lower cost items 

d.     Decision we need to make: allow the vendor to host a website for us and delivers directly to the families for us but costs ~$3 per transaction OR do we have enough volunteers that can help sort through orders and possibly disperse

                                               i.     Decision – let’s save the $3 fee and sort/disperse ourselves through volunteer help

 

4.     Mums Fundraiser

b.     Fundraiser runs from Sept 12 – Sept 18

6.     October Family Fun Days

a.     Victory Lanes > October 10^th1p-3p

                                               i.     Can we do a 50/50 raffle at this event

b.     Mooresville Golf Range & Putt Putt > Oct 24^th

                                               i.     Need to validate time

10.   Mrs. Tilley’s Message
