Bakie Booster meeting Oct 12th, 2022
Attendance: Sam F., Courtney H., Donna H., Kayla W., Shannon L., Erin L., Amanda V.
Update on Past events:
1.) Reach the Beach-
· Still waiting on check from Ragnar.
· We raised $304 in the donation jar.
· Discussion on if we should do this fundraiser again ongoing. Possible collaboration next year with the Music boosters but that would mean less overall $ as it would need to be split. Will discuss again once we know how much we made this year.
2.) Flatbreads- still waiting on check
3.) Bakie Wear- Elizabeth not at meeting to update
4.) Bakie Open House-
· Went well, lollipops were a big hit.
· Considering getting QR code to direct people to website/facebook rather than continuing to collect emails.

4) Fall book fair-
· Kayla has spoken with previous members who ran book fair and will continue to speak with them/ Scholastic/ the librarian.
· Next meeting to focus more on this event.
· ? using the scholastic bucks for books for raffle basket at Someone Special Dance- Some will expire prior to book fair.
· Plastic bags for books to be collected from now until fair starts.
· ? online wish list for teachers or certain amount to spend vs wish list bag like last year as that was a bit confusing.
· No sneak peak this year.
· Kids to go to Book fair during their normal Library special
· Shannon to print the vouchers in color
5) Restaurant nights
· Chris pizza box donated to Spooktacular raffle basket and will donate to one for the Someone special dance but says he is too small and the ones he has tried in the past have not worked
· Uno Pizza may be able to do one, but that would involve handing out fliers and we would only get a percentage of money from people who came in with flyer- so may not be worth it
· What’s the scoop is open to it, we will need to figure out the best date
· Memories is willing to donate to raffle basket but not do the restaurant night- will donate to Someone Special Dance basket as they close in Oct.
· Still need to contact Acios and Kingston House of Pizza. Possibly also Rick’s
· ? if legal forms need to be filled out prior to these nights
Field trips- Troy not present to discuss- Bus for 1st grade trip paid for by boosters
