  • Heather reminded everyone that members get the media releases as a benefit of being part of the Club. Please do not respond or reply to these emails. All questions can be sent through the Booster Club.
  • Dave Horn, Vice President, stated we have nine home games in March. He expressed the Club still needs volunteers for during the first two periods of most upcoming games. There are several different auctions the Club would like to offer, but volunteers are needed to work the table to do an auction. There are only volunteers for the game on 03/08/08 so far. Please contact him at volunteer@phxcoyotesboosterclub.com  to sign up to earn points.
  • Jenn Harrison, Treasurer, announced the balance in the checking account is $5548.00 after the most recent deposits and making the payment for the Club hats. She explained the Club made $375.00 from the auctioned basket of Jovanovski items. And the Club has made over $2000.00 from filling in at the last minute when needed for the 50/50 raffle. If Coyotes Charities doesn’t have someone for the 50/50, even at the last minute, the Club will fill in to sell. If you are available for 30-60 minutes or longer, your help is greatly appreciated. Every ticket sold brings $0.25 to the Club. The Club is scheduled to sell 50/50 tickets at the last home game on April 3rd. Please let Dave or Heather know if you are available to help.
  • Club merchandise is for sale to members only. Pucks are $5, long sleeve shirts are $10 and hats are $15.
  • The road trip for the last game of the regular season to Anaheim on Sunday, 04/06/08, will be left to your own travel plans. Heather will look into getting a block of tickets together for the game. Please let her know if you are interested in going as soon as possible for arrangements to be made. It is a 5:00 PM game. If the Club rented a bus, it would be $4,000 for 55 people and drive all night to come home. There wasn’t enough interest for the bus.
  • 2008-09 season renewal will begin in March. There is a possibility of getting a mini helmet as a bonus for joining early. There will be a season + special starting March 1st and going through all of next season for a $10 charge over the regular price
  • Beth Champie Award will be for the player that has been shown the most dedication to the fans. Her family approves and Heather read a very touching letter from her daughter. There will be an online survey from all players that have played this season for all members to vote. Heather is asking for suggestions of what the award itself should look like.
  • The next event is a viewing party at CK’s Tavern and Grill in Ahwatukee (4142 E Chandler Blvd) on Feb 27th at 6:30PM. Members will earn 5 membership points.
  •  The American Heart Association walk is on Saturday, 03/01/08 at Tempe Beach Park (54 E. Rio Salado Parkway). Registration is at 8:00-8:45AM and the walks start at 8:45-10:00 AM.

The Coyotes are a Bronze level sponsor to the AHA and this is Doug Moss’ favorite charity.

  • Saturday, March 22nd will be the meeting for the Booster Club Board elections for next season. Since the Treasurer position was refilled during the season, it will be open for election.
