FALCON FAN-ATICS

Minutes of October 12^th 2004 meeting 

At 7:15pm Joe Cooper called the meeting to order.  Gail Clancy read the minutes for September and Ray Brown gave the treasurer’s report.

 Joe Cooper reminded everyone that he put the information regarding the Tampa Bay trip in the October newsletter.  If anyone wants to go on this trip please call the vendor and set it up directly with him. Joe is going to start early to get trips going for next year.

If anyone has the capability to change a VHS to a CD please give Joe Cooper a call.  This is the video the Falcon players that won the vote gave us to show at our Banquet.

We had a guest speaker from the Force, Amber Dunlap from the marketing Dept.   As everyone knows Arthur Blank purchased the Force and moved them to the Philips Arena.  Amber gave interesting insights on the rules of arena football and other happenings with the Force. She passed out a packet about the field and the rules and also brought and passed out some cozies and stickers, a couple of hats to give away. Amber said the Force would be happy to help us with our charities.  Arthur Blank is going to have a Force/Falcon Charter Membership program.  Amber will email Joe Cooper with more information on it. 

We have been celebrating at Logan’s Roadhouse on Highway 78 at the corner of Killian Hill during the away games to cheer for the Falcons and enjoy the camaraderie of other Fan-atics.   Please remember to wear your Falcon Fan-atics gear so people will know who we are. 

We discussed moving our monthly Tuesday meeting to Logan’s Roadhouse.  We feel the service is better and the food is good.  We decided to have one meeting there.  We will meet at Corky’s in November as usual and try Logan’s Roadhouse in December.  Amber Dunlap suggested we might want to try the Roadhouse in Duluth right off highway 85 and Exit 120.  Joe Cooper is going to check it out. 

Joe Cooper reminded us to bring food and toys for the “Toys for Tots” and the “Food Bank” we can bring it to the meeting or to the tailgate parties.  Joe will be putting a reminder in next month’s newsletter.   

The Vick jersey that Ray Brown had framed turned out great, so sell those raffle tickets.  The drawing will be December 18^th at the Falcon/Panther game.  No need to be present to win.

Joe Cooper will have more tickets to sell at the tailgate. 

We made $583.00 at the last tailgate on October 10^th from food, raffle and the Vick shirt raffle.  We only made $200.00 last year at this same time so we are doing better and we are getting into the black in our treasury.  The bulk of our money is made from our raffles.

We need Falcon item for the tailgate raffles.  Joe Cooper urged us all to buy these items for our raffles.  Donate them if you can.  If you can’t, email Joe at falcon_fanatics@yahoo.com or at wareagle39@yahoo.com to get an approval to purchase, so you can be reimbursed.

We discussed the t-shirt situation.  It seems that the person who used to print our t-shirts at $5.00 each has gone to prison so we have to find someone else to do them.  So the price of the t-shirt might be going up.  We need to order about 24 t-shirts now.  Ms. Dunlap said she might be able to find a good source and she will call Chuck with details. 

New Business:

 Joe said we would leave the dues the same next year.  The only change will be in the t-shirt price once we find out what that cost will be.

 Meeting was adjourned at 8:33pm.
