Welcome to summer AXO Parents Club!Hello AXO Parents Club members. We hope your summer is going well and everyone is staying safe. I am your current AXO Parent’s Club (PC) President as I was voted in during last spring’s Mom’s Weekend PC meeting just prior to the very successful auction. I have attached the meeting minutes for your review which also includes information about your current PC Officers. Mom’s weekend auction raised $8015! Our current AXO Parents Club treasury balance stands at $17,348.93.
As you can see from the last meeting minutes, a motion was put forth and approved for a budget of $7,500 to be applied to improvements to the “Crib” or TV room. I have been advised that the improvements including the floor replacement should be completed shortly and should total close to $6,500. Additional room accessories will be purchased by Linda and the Sorority President (Gabby Buonviri) which may come to an additional $500.
There are no additional known expenses expected this summer.
I have been asked by the AXO Sorority President Gabby Buonviri if the AXO Parent’s Club would be willing to contribute funds towards a raft trip this fall, similar to what the club has contributed in the past. A vote about the raft trip funding was made during the Mom’s weekend meeting, and it was voted down, partly because there were no details available regarding the raft trip or the potential costs. Since then, the Sorority executive board received multiple inquiries from the girls about a raft trip, did their research on availability and costs for a raft trip, and submitted a request to me for funds. They have proposed the following:
Salmon River Experience website
Raft trip Dates – 8/26 or 9/9
Maximum number of participants – 90
(2) Charter Busses - Day trip up and back (depart 7am, return 4-5pm) - $3150
Raft company charges at $57 per person for 90 girls - $5130
Total Raft trip costs - $8280
Recommended Parents Club contribution - $5000
Net difference - $3280
Fee for girls to pay - $36.44 per person.
Our $5000 contribution to this event lowers the girls cost for this trip by 60%. I was told that Gabby recently surveyed all the girls about interest in the raft trip and there was a unanimous positive response (70+ responded), none negative. Their plan would be to offer this to all members, including new ones, on a first come, first served basis beginning with the first Monday after school starts.
According to our By-laws, we are required to have all Parents’ Club members in good standing (paid dues for the current year) respond to this email voting for or against the request to fund up to $5000 towards a raft trip for the girls.
Please respond to axowsuparentsclub@gmail.com with a YES or NO vote by 7/7/12. We will answer any additional questions you may have, just forward them to this email and we will answer them as best we can and as quickly as we can.
Thanks for your support! Go COUGS!
