Notes:
- Welcome back everyone! We already have about the same
number of members that we had all of last season, and it is just the
preseason!
- We managed to pay for our own membership materials this time around, so we are doing really well
- We have a lot of people who are earning a lot of points already, which is really good news
- We will keep you up to date using email and the website
- We got a fund raising idea from the LA Kings
- Each game they have a raffle for an autographed puck - which we can't do right now because of AZ Gaming laws
- They also do a 1st goal / 1st PIM game
- People buy a chance to pull a chip out of the cup with a player's number on it
- If that player scores the first goal or gets the first penalty, that person will win half of the pot
- We need a price for the chances - $1 or $2? More?
- The members suggested that $2 is a good price
- There were also suggestions that we have more than one game going on at once to increase people's chances of winning
- We will review what happens with the game and make changes if needed
- We are participating in the Tickets for Kids program this season
- A donation of $2500 sends 275 kids to a Coyotes game during the season
- This will get us a scoreboard message during every game, and also some benefits that we will turn into fund raising opportunities for the club
- Sponsored player
- We will be sponsoring a player again this season for a $5000 donation to Coyotes Charities
- We do not know the player yet, but we have asked for Derek Morris again
- He was good to us last season, so we wanted to stay with him again this year
- We will get a scoreboard message every time he scores a goal, and also when they explain the program sometime early in the game
- Teammates for Kids program MAY be coming soon
- Garth Brooks has a wonderful program where the players can sponsor themselves and make a donation at the end of the season based on a statistic of their own
- Garth triples that money, and donates 1/3 to his charity, 1/3 to the player's charity of choice, and 1/3 to the team's charity - Coyotes Charities
- The Coyotes are trying to develop a fan based program to tie in with the player program
- The Booster Club will be a big part of this program if it comes to fruition. We will be able to find a way to sponsor every player on the team for something, and make a nice donation to support three worthy causes
- More information will be sent out when we get it
- Volunteers
- We are going to need volunteers to work the table at every game
- There are details about what is required on our website as well as a list of the games we need help with
- If you'd like to volunteer, email volunteers@phxcoyotesboosterclub.com
- Sundogs road trip
- We are going to take a road trip to see the Sundogs raise their championship banner on the 17th and 18th
- Tickets are $14 each
- If you'd like to go, please email updates@phxcoyotesboosterclub.com
- American Heart Association
- We will be doing the Heart Walk again this year
- February 28th
- We can start fund raising for it any time, and the information is already on our website
- Soon we will send out the donation request email to all members so you can get set up and start seeking your own donations
- Our next meeting will be on October 25th in the arena
- More information will be sent out via email
