Motion to approve August minutes by Justin 2nd by Deb. 

Chad Boreen from the Girls Coop provided an update.  They meet every two weeks.  He stated that they currently believe that they have enough girls for the U12, and U14, however, the number for the U10 is questionable at this time.  Chad has requested that SYHA donate the ice time for the girls practice, $340.00.  In return they would get three times that back and they would use that money for jerseys.  Motion to approve ice donation by John G. and 2nd by Dan G.
