Commissioners Report- Brian Kazmorck-

Brian would like to thank everyone for the help at registration. The forms to use the gymnasium and field usage forms have all been filled out and turned in.

Football Commissioners report- Chris Weller

Bill Parks the high school football coach has opened up his staff meetings and would like to have our coaches observe their practices. This will help promote transition into the school football programs.

The high school is in need of a camera to film games and someone to film the games.

There is a position for an assistant coach at the middle school level. If anyone knows someone who is interested please contact Bill Parks.

Cheer Commissioner- Tish Leahy

No Report

Treasurers Report- Jeff Landis

Cash on hand is a little over $48,000.

All of the obligations have been paid. The only thing needs to be paid is the insurance for the year at a cost of $3,500.

We are doing well; the lottery and registration are on budget for the year.

There was a counterfeit $100 bill given to us at registration.

Registration- Steve Beatty

We need to update the way registration is done. New forms need to be made up that helps to keep the payment separate from multiple kids being registered. The liability waiver should be signed every year. A separate meeting will take place and a committee will be formed in order to revamp the registration process.

There are some kids that have custody papers that forbid certain people from having contact with the child or picking the child up. ALL coaches and board members need to be aware of any situation where a child has custody papers in order to avoid problems.

Steve will be at all the football handouts to make sure all kids have their paperwork in order.

Fundraising- Jen DeMild

The BMF pep rally can not be held this year due to not being able to get the church for the dates desired. Brian suggested we put it on the calendar for 2014. Scott Zeigler suggested a brawl for the mighty mites. They do not have a championship game and there may be interest in us hosting a brawl for them. This could be a great opportunity for a fundraising event.

Kelli Taney will be setting up a Ritas fundraising night for July.

Tish Leahy will have more information on doing a cheer competition at the next meeting.
