Rink Manager Job Review - Dan has requested to have his payroll re-adressed.  He currently gets paid from payroll and a 1099 for the summer clinics.  He would rather stay on payroll for simplicity.  Randy W. and Kristy E. will develop a compensation package for Dan.  This needs to be completed prior to the next board meeting, he is scheduled to go off payroll in June.

Hockey banquet - Continue having the banquet at St. Annes.  Reconsider the timing of the banquet.  This will get discussed at a later time.
