Meeting called to order at 6:02 p.m. by President, Dave Root, at Allegan Pizza Parlor.
Attendance: Dave Root, Deb Jennings, Teresa Creech, Lori Drozd, Bill Creech,
Kim Hays
Missy Root sent word she had to work; wouldn’t be able to attend.
Secretary’s report was presented by Teresa Creech. The minutes from the March 22
were presented. A motion was made by Deb Jennings to accept the minutes as
presented. Seconded by Lori Drozd; motion carried.
The treasurer’s report was presented by Drozd. She stated our account balance as of 3-
31-07 is $552.22 after reconciling. Drozd informed the board that the cost of bonding,
through Farm Bureau Insurance, would be around $40. A motion was made by Jennings
to allow Drozd to move ahead with the bonding process. Seconded by Bill Creech; motion
carried.
Dave Root went over the protocol for meetings as published in our bylaws and discussed
the open board positions that are required by GVSA. GVSA requires a Risk Management
Coordinator. It was decided that we will address adding a R.M.C. to our by-laws at the
next board meeting. Root also brought up the idea of having a copy of Robert’s Rules of
Order on hand as a reference. T. Creech volunteered to research the cost of purchasing
the above mentioned copy and also research finding a Referee Assignor, another
required position by GVSA, and find a job description of the R.M.C. T. Creech will
present her findings and make a recommendation at the next board meeting. The GVSA
club information document will be filled out and T. Creech will fax as soon as it is
completed.
Following extensive discussion regarding club colors and the cost of a uniform, Jennings
made a motion to change the club colors from burgundy and grey to red/black/white.
Seconded; Motion carried. T. Creech stated that she had called Score and has some
uniform samples coming. Score also offered a package of around $30 for two jerseys,
one short and two socks.
Club tryouts were discussed. It was proposed to hold tryouts on Saturday, June 23,
beginning at 10:00 a.m. and Tuesday, June 26th beginning at 5:00 p.m. Board members
will check their schedules and correspond via email.
The Tournament was briefly discussed. Four logos were presented by T. Creech. After
discussing the options, logo # 2 was chosen and the colors will be changed from
burgundy to red. It was also stated that we will be purchasing trophies for the team that
places first, with medals for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions. Nothing will be presented for
sportsmanship. It was discussed asking Perrigo to sponsor the cost of the trophies,
possibly adding “Perrigo” to the plate on the trophies. It was discussed whether or not the
economics/marketing class at the high school would be able to help in soliciting for
tournament donations. It was decided that the tournament will invite U10, U12 and U14
divisions, due to field limitations.
The next meeting will be a tournament meeting. It will be held at the Pizza Parlor, on
Monday, April 23 at 6:00 p.m.
The next board meeting will be Monday, May 7th at 6:00 p.m. at the Pizza Parlor.
A motion was made by Jennings to adjourn, seconded by Hays. Meeting adjourned at 8:
