b.      What can we do to make next year earlier?  Jerry will call Rob and discuss what we can do.  Melissa was going to check with Dunham’s on a discount for footballs.  Kevin suggested that he would rather chip in to get volunteers than to raise registration and give back when they volunteer.  We agreed that we will continue to help find volunteers.

c.       We discussed the number of assistant coaches and what shirts to purchase.

d.      How are we going to recruit kids for next year?  We went to 150 this year and we would like to increase that number.  It was discussed about splitting into age groups.

e.       Corey Schullo asked about voting. He also mentioned a fundraising event called the Battle of the Bridges where two teams scrimmage before the season, charge a dollar and split the proceeds.  You could also ask for donations instead.  A Punt, Pass, Kick contest is another idea.  Jason will check on it.

f.        We never got a bill from Holton.   We talked about sending the money. 

g.       We also discussed donating to the boosters.  A possiblity is a popcorn machine.

h.       Suggestions for future purchases are a microphone, CD player, propane heater, a video camera.

i.         Kevin would like to nail down a contingency plan for Rain Days.  Sundays after 1:00 or Mondays or Tuesdays for a make-up game.  The league should be in on it and the parents should know about it before the season.

j.        Corey will find out about a trailer.

k.      We decided that we would go to dinner on December 12 to Northern Trails.

l.         The meeting adjourned at 8:25.
