            Old Business:

Ø      Marketing-Rich Elliott-Rich announced that 5-sponsors will attend the banquet.  All sponsors are committed for next year.  There are 5-additional sponsors willing to be connected to a team.  The year ended with 34 banner sponsors.  Sponsorship brought in over $14,000 this year.

 

Ø      Player Personnel-Fred Schmidt-Fred reported that the registration forms for the 2014-2015 fall/winter league is on our website.  To date there are 21 players and 1 coach registered.  The start date is Oct. 25th.  Falcon field has been reserved for practices on the Tuesdays and Fridays of the 2 weeks prior.  Need to ask Mark Roberts to put out an email once a month reminding people to register.

 

Ø      Field Maintenance-Lyman Rinehart-Lyman announced that he has been meeting with Doug Wainwright to bring him up to date with field needs.  The league gave a $50 gift certificate to Jeff Lebo who is the maintenance supervisor for the Tuscany side to thank him for all of his assistance in keeping the field in such good shape.       

 

New Business:

Ø      Resident rule-It was decided to leave the “residence rule” alone.  It was also decided to take out the wording “during the season” from the registration form to match the actual rule.
