Follow up on Boeing grant offer:
Last information received was that to qualify for grant support, Boeing would require our club to change the name so as not to reflect the words “Booster Club”.
This would not guarantee a grant from Boeing, only allow us to qualify.
The club is unwilling to change the name and therefore further investigation is not being pursued.

Paperwork for Union Bank was completed by each board member to prepare for club’s account transfer from Key Bank.
Please get bank statements to the treasurer in a timely manner.

Beckie to look into mobile credit card processor for payment options at merch table.

Pasta Feed:
(from Melanie Erickson’s post on OPABC Facebook:  Update on the Pasta Feed: I requested Feb 9, 2013 from 2PM - 10PM for our pasta feed at the Eagles Hall. The Eagles Board meets on Tuesday and will decide if we can have it. If it is approved, we will need to put a NON REFUNDABLE "Donation" of $50 down to help pay for water, garbage, etc. As far as the deposit from last year being refunded, I need to submit a copy of the cancelled check. They had some issues with one of their past board members and have a claim into their insurance company. At this time, it looks like they will probably roll over last years deposit money. )  Todd will check on a canceled check from the Eagles Hall deposit from last Pasta Feed.
Aaron’s “Wish List” has been received.  What are his priorities?  Aaron to prioritize.
Grant Writing and Kathryn Spader:  What are OPABC money goals for the year and the priorities to spend the money on?  Need prioritized “Wish List” from Aaron.
501c3 update:  Phone call placed by Beckie to Andrea Melot to inquire about the outcome of the meeting with the attorney.  Andrea to write a letter stating a) Who we are, b) What we are, c) Where the money goes.  There is a $300 filing fee.  Upon receipt of this information by the attorney, next step is to wait for his review and response.  There may be a possibility to pay back taxes.  Matter may possibly be resolved within the next month.  
Funds to pay out soon are baritone sax repair at Plaza II ($?) and attorney fees.
Post Office Box:  small box, $58 for the year (first 13 months).  Two keys at $3 each.  Total of $64.  We determined that Josh and Beckie would be the key holders.  Paperwork from USPS on hand and completed by Beckie. Todd to write a check as soon as possible to secure the box for the club.

New Cardinal image discussed.  Submission of the below image to Brenda.   Big advantage of this image is that it can be a red bird for OHS Cardinals or a blue bird for OMS Falcons. To be voted on by members.  Inquire about the set up cost of new image to print merchandise.
This image was drawn by a very gifted, non-band student in the spring of 2011 with the thought that it could be considered for new Cardinal gear.   At that time, the club was only considering an image for new Falcon merchandise since the club really had no OMS gear to offer.  If the image is approved, the student could use this accomplishment as a step in seeking post high school education.
Meeting adjourned approximately 8:30 pm.
