Treasury Report: prepared by Relinda, as of 11/12/17, GWP: 1,870.04, Dive: 4,299.73, BWP: 12,394.67, Swim: 6,586.81, General fund: 4,963.14. Firework stand helped tremendously with the funds.
Coach’s Representative Reports: Denise Winslow reported that the BWP banquet is November 30 at Meadowlark and she will have a meeting for help. She reported that ten parents haven’t paid their donations.
Julia Virak suggested that coaches should be more involved in getting donations. Gary Velek might write a note to defend the coaching issues for Tyler in order to get donations. Julia Virak is happy and is looking forward to the tournaments. Coach Temra is now head coach, John Virak is still helping GWP and the girls are happy about the team.
No dive or swim reports from the representatives.
Coach’s Reports: Coach Kaeden still has twenty athletes. Coach Wight has 80 athletes in season and hopes to have around 116. There is a new assistant coach, Amy White. Coach Ari will return when the swim season starts.
Fundraising report: Cynde Davenport mentioned Yogurtland is a possibility as well as Glow Zone. The board felt that Glow Zone is geared toward younger children. Bowling might be a better option in the spring. Raffles might be a better option than the silent auction. March 3rd has been set as a tentative date. The “Stacked” fundraiser paid for about 50% of the cost of the robes. Cynde Davenport will follow through with what Lamp post pizza owes MABC. LulaRoe didn’t do as well as hoped for perhaps because it was a 3-day weekend.
Gary Velek reminded us to use certain cards for dividend pay outs such us Smile.amazon to get some additional funds.
Web-site chair report: John Virak didn’t have anything to report. Payments have been received. John is still fine tuning it.
New Business: Relinda Elbandaji resigned her position as awesome treasurer. Susan Levine agreed to be our new awesome treasurer. Gary made a motion, Julia seconded and all were in favor. The subject of 500.00/year donation to the weight room was brought up. A motion was made to pay it from general hgfunds. Since general fund owes swim 500.00, the 500.00 will go from general fund to pay for the weight room upkeep. Julia Virak made a motion to approve, seconded by Steve Hessel, all were in favor
Next year’s board was discussed. Nina Yousefian is not coming back as treasurer nor is Denise Winslow as BWP rep. Julia Virak suggested trying to recruit at the banquet.
John Virak mentioned that the floating goal is in disrepair. New ones are around 1,250.00. Fundraising will have to be done. Water Polo balls might have to be ordered as many were abused or not taken care of properly. John Virak metioned that we need better equipment to attract new coaches. EZ up from Tyler has to be returned and it is hoped that Michelle Spencer will tell him. Rolling cvobvers have to be addressed. Coach Wight stated that most of it should be covered by insurance.
Motion to adjourn was made at 7:52PM and all were in favor.
