IV.              Old Business

a.       Insurance update – Kevin is waiting the man to redo the pricing.  It is supposed to be a little cheaper.

d.      Jerseys – we are looking at a new jersey with a bi-colored body.  They will cost around $29 each.

f.        We are missing a hardware box that says GRF.  Jerry is checking with Fabers.

g.       Our scale needs to be certified.

 

V.                 New Business

a.       April 18th is the next training session.

b.      Registration is May 14 – 17th.  We are looking at having sign-ups at Wendy’s on Wednesday.  We will have pads, sample shirts, form with player’s number choice on it (upperclassmen get their number from the year before).

c.       Kevin and Jerry will look at the band trailer on Thursday.

d.      Community donation budget – we have donated $1300 so far (varsity program, boosters, families in need, etc.).  Jerry suggested a $2500 budget.  This budget goes June – May.  Everyone agreed.

e.       GASA – Grant Area Sporting Alliance – We need somebody from our board to sit on that board.  They meet the third Tuesday of each month.  They are trying to get someone from AYBT, AYSO, and Little League.  Jerry suggested that the field director do it.  They need start up funds.  It would be in our best interest to give them a check to contribute - $199.  It was agreed.  The next meeting is next Tuesday at 7:00 at the city office.

f.        The next board meeting will be the third Tuesday of May due to Memorial day weekend.

g.       We need a new coaching director.  His job would be to help answer questions and handle issues.  In time he could hold meetings for instruction, etc.

h.       The meeting adjourned at 8:10.  Melissa C.  1st, Melissa H. 2nd
