Steinert Football Booster Club

The TASK committee has been renamed to the Charitable Activities committee in order to encourage volunteering for other worthy organizations. Updates to follow.

Beginning January 2008, SHS Football players have provided community service on a monthly basis at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. This worthy cause has enlightened our youth on one of the many needs for those less fortunate. SHS Football players that would like to participate on the first Tuesday for any upcoming month may contact Ms. Maureen Gallagher at PMGall5@optonline.net or you may see Coach Caruso.

Minutes of Booster Club Meeting for January 2012

Meeting Date:    January 5, 2012

Meeting Time:   7:30 p.m.

Presiding:           Joseph Malagrino, President of the Booster Club

Introduction:     President Joseph Malagrino introduced himself and the new booster club

members including:

Deb Amodie, first vice president

Robyn Zandomenego, second vice president

John Scordo, secretary

Mike Harchik, treasurer

Terry Wagner, alumni liaison 

Joe Malagrino gave an overview of the functions of the booster club.  The booster club will meet on the first Thursday of every month except for July.  He stated that he is reviewing the By-Laws and will try to make a copy available for the members.  He also stated that Don Deptula has updated our website and is now fully operational.  The website is to be used as our main communicator with photos, news clippings, news alerts, registration and treasury reports for all to view.  At this point Joe Malagrino called the meeting to order and the Pledge of Alliance was recited.

The minutes for the December meeting were read by John Scordo and seconded by Don Deptula and approved by the membership.

Treasurer Report       

The booster club has a current balance of 30,371.12.  A detailed treasury report will be read in February.

Championship Memorabilia 

Several suggestions were brought up on some sort of championship memorabilia for the team having had a successful year and reaching the state finals.  Hoodies were voted down as the thought that they would not be worn by the players as most of the team are seniors and would be leaving the school for college.

Coach Caruso introduced the suggestion of a memorable mini helmet with the player’s number on the helmet as this would be a keepsake and a more memorable piece of football history for the player’s to remember in their futures.  Coach Caruso will check what the cost of these helmets will be as the anticipated cost would be $25.00 per mini helmet.

Old Business  

It has been brought to the clubs attention that a $30,000+ balance in our bank account is too much money.  It was agreed that the money needs to be earmarked and used for a certain project.  Suggestions were as follows:

Possible new uniforms

Expanding the locker room

Updating the trailer

A building near the football field to be used as a

bathroom/locker room

This will be discussed at up and coming meetings.

The signature on checks was also discussed.  It was voted on and approved that two signatures would be required on all checks as a system of checks and balances.  The three members who are authorized to sign checks are Joe Malagrino, Mike Harchik and Robyn Zandomenego.  Two out of the three need to sign each and every check.  Don Deptula put the motion on the floor and seconded by John Scordo.  Approved by the membership.

Committee Membership Changes

Clothing will be chaired by Ferdinand Mather.  Assistance will be given by Tamie Marshall.

Charitable contributions will be chaired by Steve Charnowski

Membership will be chaired by Deb Amodie

Scholarship Committee 

Suggestions were introduced to run an after prom raffle to fund the annual scholarship.  Further details to follow.

Coach’s Report

Coach Caruso made several positive comments and compliments of a very successful football year, but he also stated that now it is the beginning of a new season.  Individual player/position meetings will begin some time in February.  Agility practices will be scheduled on Saturday mornings throughout the winter.  Possible purchases are to include the purchase of prowler sleds and new football goal posts.  The approximate cost of the football goal posts is $7,000, but a more exact price will be looked into.  Coach Caruso also entertained the idea of possibly renting lights on Friday nights for big games.

Coach Caruso also introduced the 2012 football schedule as there have been some changes.   Please note that we will not be playing Lawrence and Notre Dame High Schools this season, instead we will be playing Hopewell Valley and Allentown High Schools.  The schedule is as follows:

Allentown High School – Away

Nottingham High School – Home

Trenton High School – Home
