Proposed Amendment to the Swartz Creek Band Boosters By-Laws

Article IX – Fund Raising

Section 1: From time to time Swartz Creek Band Boosters shall use various Fund Raisers. Fund Raising activities shall be proposed and adopted by a majority vote at any general membership meeting.

Section 2: As a general provision, Band Booster Fund Raising profits shall be directed to the General Fund. Upon proposal and adoption by the general membership meeting, a dedicated portion of raised funds may be directed to a designated ‘Family Account’.

Section 3: The creation of said ‘Family Account’ is a way to reward Students who participate in Fund Raising Activities. By definition a ‘Family Account’ is meant to serve all the members of a family within the Swartz Creek band program. Funds within a ‘Family Account’ designation may be used to offset the expense or payment in whole of a Band related event or expenditure. Requests for these payments must be forwarded to the Band Booster Treasurer with Proper Documentation. These funds, at no time, belong to the student and/or student’s family.

Section 4: As has been the practice of Band Boosters, unused ‘Family Account’ funds are reverted to the General Fund upon the exit of the student’s family from the band program for a period greater than one (1) semester and one (1) day.
