The main areas of concern were how to create a revenue stream for the Quins. This initial Booster club meeting is expected to continue indefinitely. > The answer to this that the booster club will meet regularly if possible monthly, but the 1st or 2nd Tuesday in November every year we will meet up with the current Boosters and do it all again. This means that we will have a yearly renewal of the basic Boosters with the intent to grow beyond the core 10. > Next years official Booster Club "term" will renew on Nov 7th, 2017. > > The next questions were where does the money go: > 3 main areas that we as a club are failing on and need monetary help to make them happen are: > Match filming (which is imperative in this current environment) : Referees cost $150/match now and if there are any issues during that match we have no recourse without video footage. I personally fronted the cost of filming out last matches in coordination with Kirk from the Wheelchair rugby team to fly his drones to film the matches. We would like this to continue. > Recruiting: We want to be able to pay Coach Angus plus one more to go to different state colleges and even out of state to meet with potential college players. We estimate that cost to be $350/Trip to cover hotel, food and gas. We would also like to be able to give out Quin gear to prospects. > Pay for a professional accountant to audit the books and ensure that we are following the correct entry process. And also to balance the accounts as we move into next year with a Youth organization led by Angus and me. > > I have attached the budget as we currently have it and there are a few items that are a bit vague and I can answer any questions on those. We are actively tweaking the register to reflect all that we are doing to be more transparent. This is inflated as we bought new jerseys and the money was fronted by Kris and then we reimbursed him and the entertainment expense was me fronting the bill for the Spring banquet and then getting paid back. > > So far Dan and Scott Blitz have donated.

Some of us have promised to donate $500 to the team. That donation will go to recruiting and generally trying to support the club. The donations are tax deductible. Anyone who donates $500 + will get a jersey that designates you as a booster. If you wish to donate but $500 is too steep, please talk to me or Tom Vyles. We'll be able to think of something to show you've donated.
