Catalina is putting together the 2023/2024 schedule. The season will begin on September 12th at 6:30 PM. She still needs contact information for some teams. If you want print or braille schedules please let her know. Score sheets, sub lists, and team rosters will be in the folders in the cabinets.

Secretary: minutes for the April 11th board meeting were read.

Outreach: A demonstration was done for summer transition youth at St Thomas by Shaun, Riley, Jordan, Lauren, and Phil. They discussed how the league functions, gave a brief history and did a demonstration. The kids had fun and the league was invited back for next year.

A motion was made by Gary and seconded by Colleen to approve all reports as submitted, the motion passed.

Old business:

We'd like to replace the cabinets, they were built in Bemidji, Al Kitagawa's brother picked them up will try and determine where they were built.

New business:
