NEW BUSINESS
1. Review and discuss Annual Teen Court Scholarship Banquet Information.
Board Member Kathleen Toms advised the Committee that she spoke with retired Technical Sergeant
Randy Gardner about being a speaker at the Teen Court Scholarship Banquet on Thursday, April 3,
2014 and he is available that evening and does not charge a fee.
Warren Wilson advised he would be able to give the invocation at the banquet. Teen Court
Coordinator Mindy Eichorst gave the Committee members several books to look at with invitation
samples. The Committee members decided that silver is a color that needs to be on the invitations.
Ms. Eichorst can pick out the final design of the invitation.
The committee members decided they would like black tablecloths with white napkins. They would like
the mirrors for centerpieces, either round or square, along with utilizing the Texas Star's vases. It just
depends on the size and shape of the various vases. The two choices from the menu at Texas Star
will be The Italian Buffet and The American Buffet, and the committee chose The Italian Buffet.
Ms. Eichorst advised that the silent auction needs to be a little bit more organized and more Board
Members need to be involved with it. Kathleen Toms asked if the only two ways to pay for the silent
auction items is by cash or check? Ms. Eichorst advised yes these were the only options. Ms. Toms
advised she thinks if credit card/debit cards could be accepted more money would be raised. She
advised that she had a "square" that could attach to a smart phone or iPad and could accept credit
cards. Ms. Eichorst advised she would check that option out with finance.
The Committee has mentioned the possibility of having a photo booth at the banquet. Ms. Eichorst
had received a recommendation and brought a quote from one company called The Traveling
PhotoBooth. Kathleen Toms made a motion to have this company at the banquet and Priscilla Cauley
seconded the motion. The Committee voted unanimously.
The Committee decided to meet again on Thursday, March 6, 2014 at 5:00 pm.

Warren Wilson entered a motion for the meeting to be adjourned. Phoebe Soward seconded the motion
and all voted in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
