There are volunteers for the game on 01/20/08 against Buffalo and 02/16/08 against the Kings. Please contact him at volunteer@phxcoyotesboosterclub.com to sign up to earn points.
  • Jenn Harrison, Treasurer, announced the balance in the checking account is $5241.62 after the most recent deposits. Heather explained the Club made $1250.00 from the auctioned team signed jersey, $180.00 from a set of six signed booster Club pucks in individual cases and the amount made from the 50/50 raffle was $980.31. Thank you to everyone that helped.
  • The Club is almost out of the 2005-06 pins. If you would like one see the Booster Club table. There are still plenty of 10th Anniversary pins available as well.
  •  The four page wish list that was presented to the Coyotes was received well. There were no flat out no’s on any items. Some item can be changed a bit. It looks promising. The organization loved the idea of a broom ball game on the ice during an intermission.
  • There are still lots of great team items available from Walter. Contact Heather for more information.
  • Derek Morris and Keith Ballard will donate signed sticks for the club to auction. Stan, the equipment manager, will get additional items from other players as well. Some items might have to be purchased.
  • There could be a possible road trip for the last game of the regular season to Anaheim on Sunday, 04/06/08. It is a 5:00 PM game. If the Club rents a bus, it could be a one day event.
  • The American Heart Association walk is on Saturday, 03/01/08 at Tempe Town Lake. There is no registration fee. You can get pledges for donations to the charity. It has a 1 mile and a 5K (3 miles) walk. The Coyotes are a Bronze level sponsor to the AHA and this is Doug Moss’ favorite charity.
  • The Club will have a tailgate party on Saturday, 02/16/08 at 4:00 PM. An email will be sent out soon to start getting RSVPs.
  • If the Club has enough money at the end of the season to make a donation to the Coyotes Charities, there will be a grant created in the Phoenix Coyotes Booster Club name. This will support youth hockey.
  • Lots of Club members are winning prizes at games. Most recently a couple members won the videos being advertised and Mike Brand was the lucky winner to travel with the team on their plane to Dallas. He will submit a journal for us to all enjoy his journey.
  • Many members have said this Club is better than ever before. Thank you, this is because of the great members in the Club.
  • Don Schwartz has an article in the new program about the Coyotes Charities, be sure to pick up a copy.
  • Brad Treliving was the guest speaker and spoke highly of the players on the team playing now and the young players coming up through other parts of the organization. He stated the San Antonio Rampage is having success as well. Overall the organization is happy with the franchise. Everyone is excited to have 3 coaches again after 02/07/08. Some questions were answered and he will look into why the transmission on AZTV is so poor for Coyotes games and why the Radio Show after the game was moved to behind closed doors.

The next Booster Club meeting is scheduled for 02/24/08 at 2:00 PM in a Jobing.com arena Tower Suite.
