President’s Report

Loren thanked all the volunteers who helped out at the Thanksgiving Spectacular, especially Peter Rupert. When the numbers are finalized we expect one of our biggest years.

Treasurer’s Report

Allen presented two months worth of treasurers reports, due to our not having a November meeting. After his presentation Scott made a motion to approve, seconded by Peter and the motion passed.

Vice President’s Report

Peter reported the tournament went well. Everybody showed up who was supposed to, allowing for things to run smooth. Special thanks go to Will Gran for taking care of the volunteer spreadsheet, Deb and Eric Teske for coordinating the volunteer communications, Deb Teske for helping out on the Wednesday night set up and the many hours she put in over the weekend, additional special thanks to Mike Gallagher for the time he put in all weekend. Also thanked Cody Hunkle, T.J. Lyons and Bryce Teske for their help in the chuck-a-puck contests. Recognition also goes to Pat Nagle who stepped in Saturday night when we were short and put in his time. The “new” volunteer schedule created a sense of community that we had not had in recent tournaments. Now, the Super C tourney is right around the corner and we need to get on that. Peter reported that a Larry Johnson is looking at creating a sports complex in VadnaisHeights, and if he is able to secure a particular parcel of land he will contact MVYHA to gage our interest in getting involved in some capacity.
