Team Pictures – After some discussion, the Board voted to have Paul Swenson do this for us in 2008. Laura Lambert will be the coordinator for this project. Fundraising – Missy helped secure the Eagles on Friday, May 16 from 5:00 until 8:00 for our fundraising event. The silent auction will begin at 5:00. A turkey dinner will be served from 6:00 until about 7:00. The bar will be available in a separate area. Tickets will be $20 from the kids and each family is encouraged to sell 5 tickets. The tickets will be available to the kids at the March 30th kickoff party (see below). They will be $25.00 at the door. The Thunder/Lightening has donated two 4 packs of tickets. Bob has gone to Cabela’s, Famous Dave’s, and Timberlodge and is awaiting an answer. Kohls, Lowes and Best Buy have all said no. Tim has applied for the MYSA field/equipment grant in the amount of $10,000 but usually only $1,000 to $2,000 is granted. Julie asked if we would consider Phantom Fireworks as a fundraising idea. After much discussion it sounds as though this is risky and won’t work for us at this time. March 30th Kickoff – This will be a pizza party held at the Elks from 5:00 – 7:00. We still have bags available to sell for $20.00. Hopefully, uniforms will be available that evening. If not, they will have samples for people to try on. Pat will put together an email for coaches/managers to forward to their players about this event. Uniforms – They are currently on backorder, but hopefully will be here for March 30th. We discussed the option of having either Top Shelf or B & B stocking the uniforms in the future and having each player go there and buy them. Sign-ups – Briefly discussed moving future registrations to the fall instead of January. This is always something to be considered. Equipment budget – Kids need to bring their own practice balls. Each team will be given 2 game balls. New goalie jerseys are available for teams that need them. Tournament and training budget – Each team will be allowed $1,000 to sign up for these except the U17 Girls who were docked $200 for a forfeiture penalty from 2007. Coaches and/or managers need to submit forms to Ann for payment. Teams – Tim and Troy worked on registrations and teams ahead of the meeting and presented proposed rosters. All agreed with the rosters as presented. Next meeting will be on April 27 at 7:00 p.m. at ABC. Respectfully submitted,
