Captains Rep report

Sub list is up to date; all teams are full, and no issues. Gary asked about his team playing at two venues on January 30th; Gary was told he's playing at VFW that day. Barb will remind everyone once it gets closer. Catalina requested that captains list needs to be updated, it's missing email addresses and phone numbers.


Committee reports

Fundraising

Will be continuing Potbellies fundraiser

Pampered chef is going on for a few more days.

Reminder to captains pass out daily 3 tickets to all their members

Will be doing puffins for Easter time

Shawn had mentioned again about fundraisers he has been part of such as Buffalo Wild wings, Chick fillet Little Caesars, and Panera Bread

Catalina is still trying to get the fundraiser from the Timber lodge, and it's coming from corporate dragging their feet.


Tournament report

Will be held the weekend of February 16-18th at the Comfort Inn in Bloomington. Cost will be $100 or $40 per event. Games being played Saturday morning will have Cricket instead of round robin, and instead of killer it will be gotchya on Saturday afternoon. All other games will be the same. Rooms are $89 per night plus tax.


Outreach Report

Had a small outreach event at Hyatt Regency at the end of October at a pastor's convention.

Will be having a demonstration this coming Wednesday at VLR

Had the WCCO TV spot, which everyone said looked good, Catalina suggested we should put the clip on the website.


Old Business

Audit has been started and taxes has been filed for 501.3C status

Looking at a different lock setup for the boards, might look into click locks.

Catalina had called a few Lions clubs and they had not received any donations letters, Shawn said he got addresses from Google search so they could be outdated. He will resend with a few addresses given to him.


New business

Catalina needs the username and password to pay for the next set of years for domain hosting, will get her Lisa's contact info.

Catalina made a motion to take the $500 donation from Gail's niece and split it for $300 to tournament, and $200 to scholarship, seconded by Gary, motion passed.

Annie asked if it was ok to send out individual stats for first half and second half, instead of after every round. No one had a problem with that. Catalina asked that Annie post at the beginning of the forth round how many games each player has played.

Annie is on a cribbage committee at Omni, and had the opportunity to have a tournament that proceeds would be split between Omni, and a charitable cause. Annie suggested the dart league, and they were happy with that suggestion. Annie asked that proceeds from the cribbage tournament be split between tournament and scholarship. She also asked for member involvement from the league to play in the tournament. Entry was $10.


Open discussion

Annie suggested an app called Venmo to use for paying for dues and tournament fees. Catalina would look into it.

Phil had made a suggestion that we could play during the bye weeks, were you would be playing against 4 dummies that would have a set score and the team playing would have to beat it to get the win.

Colleen made a motion that we would play on the bye week, seconded by Shawn, Catalina amended that we would use round robin type rules were you have to get a certain score for low scores. The details will be hashed out during a general meeting. Motion was carried.
Shawn made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Gary, motion carried.

Meeting ended at 1:15pm

Shawn Bangsund
Secretary
