b.      John G. gave a history of the play-up program and presented the details. For future, we will discuss with both coaches to be certain we come to an agreement for both teams.

c.       Newsletter: Dawn is working with team managers to be sure all families are receiving a copy. Dan M. and Randy W. will provide some financial info.

d.      We have a number of families that are not putting in any (or minimal) volunteer hours at home tourneys.
