Gail was wondering what all the miscellaneous expenses and deposits are. Could not answer that question without the treasurer there.

Phil had a question about some of the statements sent out over the summer, where dart board repair was taken from the wrong account

Shawn made a motion to accept treasurer's report, seconded by Gary


Vice President's Report

Gary hopes we all have a good year, is available when needed, he does work so may not respond immediately. Gary's girlfriend is on the voicemail so don't be confused.

Braille should be done by week 1 as well. Last week before Christmas is December 19th and come back January 9th. No break for elections this year.


Committee reports

Fundraising report

Doing potbellies fundraiser monthly so far this summer, making around $100 each time

Had a Scentsy party, no idea on the amount yet.

Going to have a pampered chef party

Probably do puffins

Daily 3 tickets are ready and will be passed out. Captains remember to hand them out ASAP.

Shawn talked about little Caesars fundraiser for frozen pizzas, chick fillet, and Buffalo Wild Wings.

Reminder of the Amazon smile fundraiser where we get a percentage back when we shop at Amazon.

Always looking for suggestions for new fundraisers.


Tournament Committee

We will have it at the Comfort inn in Bloomington. It will be the third weekend in February. Need to spend $200 at Outback. $80 for microphone. $89 for hotel room rental. Will sign the contract very soon.

The cost of the room will be $300.


Outreach committee will be starting back up this year. Phil was in contact with a woman from the STP program for a demonstration, but she did not get back to him over the summer. We will have 2 new people on the league this year. Will try to talk to people at VLR as well.


Old business

Rugs will be installed today, and at VFW when Shawn plays down there next. Shawn also has a lock for the board at VFW

Venues were not able to get the room at Memory Lanes. We will be playing at Eagles Club, Merlins Rest, and Richfield VFW


New Business

Will be starting up outreach it will be chaired by Phil, Gary volunteered as well. Still looking for more volunteers to help with outreach

Want to look for a new lock solution, these locks are not very durable. Talked about looking at a lock that might have a number pad on it.


Open Discussion

Nancy made a motion that we should have 2 people on the checkbook for the dart league, in case of anything happening to the current treasurer we have a way to access the money still, seconded by Shawn.

It should be either president or vice president that would be on the checking account. Motion passed

Nancy made a motion that we should have a co-chair on the fundraiser committee for checks and balance purposes. Motion passed

Shawn made a motion to explore the possibility of paying a stipend for the treasurer, will talk about how much, and stipulations at a later time. Motion seconded by Phil, motion passed
