Presentations by Guests
Committee Reports
Finance: Dave Lundberg reported that we have
approximately $30,000 in the bank. The fish fry brought in roughly
$2,000. Dave said that someone had complained that his online
registration had not gone through. Bob said he had done a test
and it had failed. The problem will have to be addressed so that
out-of –town teams will be able to register for bonspiels
online.
Bar: Chase was not present to give a report.
A discussion of the listed items on the agenda ensued. Mark Schmitt
reported that Chase had purchased a safe for the bar and would
be installing it. The problem of members leaving liquor bottles
on the bar has decreased but it would be helpful if everyone would
take responsibility for their bottles and minimize the liability
of the club. The subject of locking the upstairs for times other
than leagues or bonspiels was discussed without a conclusion.
Dave Chandler said he had talked to Davey Mills about the remote
draft beer system and he was positive about it. Some of the advantages
are control of portions and the ability to lock the system to
prevent unauthorized use.
Juniors:
President’s Report:
General Manager’s Report: Bob presented
a prototype banner commemorating the Olympic medal won by the
Pete Fenson rink. After some discussion the board asked Bob to
look into having one made in scale and design similar to the banner
for the World Jr. Women won by Cassie Johnson. Bob reported that
he has been having difficulty getting the scraper blades sharpened
properly.
Old Business: Bob is still in the process
of comparing accounting services. He will present Wayne Ward with
an example of what he would be required to do in order to see
if he is interested in providing the service. It was pointed out
that Bemidji Secretarial does a lot of things for us and we are
satisfied with their work. It is only prudent of us to compare
costs for services.
New Business: Rob said that he considered
glo ‘n curl a big success.
Dave Lundberg mentioned an incident in which some high school
students wanted to curl on a Wednesday night after league. They
thought they could use the facility and close it when they were
done. He denied them access because he was unable to determine
if they were members. A discussion ensued about who can use the
ice and under what circumstances.
The next meeting will be April 17th at 6:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mark LaFond
