c.       Advertising signs – a committee of Justin, Dawn, and Cherie will excel a list of prospective businesses.

d.      Financial Statements – John would like a committee to to re-do the financial statements with the appropriate headings.  The committee will be Kristy, Randy, and John G. 

e.       Break in update – Police have identified the suspects and they admitted to the theft.  The paper work is going to the juvenile courts.  We could go to small claims to get some restitution.  We could turn this into the insurance; however, we have a $1000.00 deductible.  Two of the items stolen we may not have coverage for, as they were personal affects of someone else.  We can also do a victim impact statement, which is given to the judge in court.  Dan will prepare the victim impact statement. 

f.        Bantams/ Peewees – We have very low numbers in these age groups.  13 Bantams, if they all play from last year.  One or two may possibly move up to High School, which would leave only 11.  13 Peewees also.  Dan will continue conversations with Baldwin to see if their kids would come and play at Somerset.  Baldwin has about 12 kids in their program.  Parents are also willing to make phone calls.  There are some mixed emotions regarding practices at Baldwin.

 Motion to adjourn John G. – 2nd Debbie
