The Project Prom 2011 meeting began at 6:30 p.m. at SWHS in the courtyard area.

In attendance were:

Brent began the meeting by reviewing the agenda from the last meeting.  He restated that that there is no Prom date or venue set as of yet.  This will be determined by Mrs. Austin and the 2011 class officers.    We cannot set a venue for Project Prom until the date and venue for Prom is determined. 

Liz Bridges asked that if anyone knows of someone who is not receiving e-mails, please have them contact her at:   tbridges8086@sbcglobal.net. 

The most important item that needs to be taken care of is getting the Project Prom information packets ready to be given out at Tiger Take-off.    For Juniors, this will be on August 19^th.     This packet is very important because it will have all vital information pertaining to Project Prom.   Examples of the information packet were read and revised.  Pam Krueger is in charge of editing and typing up the final draft. Maria Martinez will make copies. 

Sal Angel is in charge of getting the Project Prom 2011 website up and running and he is hoping to have the website up very soon.  Discussion followed about other possible ways to effectively communicate.  It was suggested that in the future we might set up a Facebook page to communicate.      

Christine Gonzales had volunteered to be in charge of “Family Night”.  However, she announced that there were no available dates on the school calendar to schedule this event.     However, she has agreed to be in charge of both garage sales next year.  There will be garage sales held both in the fall and in the spring.  

Discussion was held concerning the sale of wristband spirit bracelets as a fundraiser.   Several commented that their students showed interest in buying these.   Hopefully these will be ready to sell at “Party on the Patio” on August 20^th.   Both the colors of the bracelet and the inscription need to be determined.  It was agreed that the bracelets need to appeal to every class, not just the class of 2011.   Brent will check with Gordon Musgrove who volunteered at the last meeting to research possibilities.   Brent also encouraged those in attendance to research fundraising companies that sell bracelets.  Send any websites or information to Brent at brent@vfhouston.com.   The ordering needs to take place before the next Project Prom meeting in order to have the bracelets ready in time.  Brent suggested that decisions regarding the bracelets be made my e-mail. 

Brent announced that there will be no Project Prom meeting during the month of July, but it will be necessary to meet before school begins on August 24^th.     An e-mail will be sent informing everyone of the date and time of the next meeting.

The meeting ended at 7:30 p.m.
