a.       We suggested sticking stickers on the shoulder pads rather than the helmets.  From now on, we need to send letter to a parent to check on sticking stickers on helmets in honor of a child.  Memorial stickers were brought to a vote by Kevin Throop.  The results of the vote were to remove any stickers and not to put on any new memorial stickers.  Two members did not vote.

c.       Current Team and Coaching issues – One coach is very upset with a few things and Jason has talked to him on how to handle himself.  All coaches need to act appropriately – their position is contingent on their behavior.
