VILLA PARK HIGH SCHOOL AQUATICS BOOSTERS
2012 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| vphs_aep_990_package_2012.pdf |
Dear Aquatics Parents and Supporters:
Villa Park High School's Aquatics Boosters (VPHS AEP) successfully fulfilled its mission of supporting VPHS aquatics programs during the fiscal year completed June 30, 2012. Attached please find a copy of our Federal Form 990 which was recently submitted to the IRS and allow me to share with you some booster club highlights from the past year.
At the start of the year we were still very focused on installation of a new team room and storage facilities to replace those that were eliminated last spring as they no longer met the CA Division of the State Architect's (DSA) standards for school buildings. Working with VPHS school administration and leadership of OUSD, a new team room was available in time for boys' water polo season. As the year progressed, again working with VPHS administration, we were also able to add two new storage containers for the aquatics program.
In spring the Booster Club was able to add the most visible of this year's enhancements with the completion of the large aquatics shield graphic on the wall next to our scoreboard.
While the trailer, storage containers, and wall graphic were the most notable changes this year, they are just a reflection of the many improvements the booster club supported.
*Three new lane lines were purchased to complete a multi-year effort to replace all the swim lane lines.
*Two new touch pads were purchased and are ready for use to start next swim season.
*New home and away sets of water polo caps were purchased.
*New backs were purchased for the water polo goals.
*Booster club supported the second Senior Scholars field trip for senior aquatics athletes maintaining a four year 3.5 GPA.
In addition to facility improvements and equipment purchases, your booster club contributions supported Boys Water Polo, Girls Water Polo, and Swimming.
*Once again, 1,000 league lunches were served through the course of water polo and swimming seasons.
*Athlete apparel including t-shirts, polo shirts, and suits.
*Senior recognition at the end of each season.
*End of season banquets including awards and gifts.
The Booster Club's largest source of revenue, as in past years, was parent contributions totalling $42,000 for athlete participation in each sport. We also had a strong fundraising year bringing in an additional $13,000. This was comprised of $5,800 from snack bar, $4,400 from polo ball sponsors, and $2,500 from Spartan Classic.
The Booster Club finished the year in a strong financial position with Operating Capital of $14,300. In addition, we continue to maintain a reserve of $12,000 for potential district charges related to the team room.
It is also important to recognize the significant investment of time our parents put into the program. In addition to direct support of our athletes, volunteer time is given to the program in many forms. Some of the donated time includes: installation of storage containers, maintenance of scoreboard and other facilities, running snack bar, hosting team dinners, coordinating team banquets, updating web site, sending communications, coordinating fundraisers such as Spartan Classic, running swim time system, organizing league lunches, and arranging senior days. The success of the Villa Park aquatics program couldn't happen without our coaches, financial support, and a whole lot of parent involvement.
I look forward to seeing all of you at our booster club meetings and wearing Spartan colors at the pool in the year ahead.
Go Spartans!
