President’s     

Report:            Dave Steinhilber reported that Jeff Sisco and Vince Hudak would work with the Board to check in SWCYHA workers at each WIAA Boy’s home game.  One Board member will be assigned as the contact person at each WIAA home game. Steinhilber reported that he will assign a Board member to serve as the team liaison for each SWCYHA youth team. WIAA Boy’s season passes are being sold at the door and concessions for each WIAA home game.  These tickets are not a fundraiser for the association, but rather a convenience for those attending home WIAA boy’s games.  Steinhilber also reported that Jim Kollock will be resigning as website coordinator and equipment coordinator.  Replacement(s) are being sought for each position.

Treasurer’s

Report:            Kelly Lamb reported on the Profit and Loss Previous Year Comparison.

Raffle

Tickets:           A Discussion was held regarding this year’s raffle.  Dave Steinhilber reported that next year’s raffle / fundraiser will be done concurrently with registration.  For this year’s raffle there will be an additional night for families to pick up raffle tickets (Dec. 1).  Each association member is expected to participate in the raffle.  As a basis for comparison, the Board has been looking into other association’s fundraising requirements.  In Stevens Point each family is required to fulfill $150 for their individual fundraising obligation.  The scooter raffle has also begun; tickets can be purchased from the concession stand.  The winner will be drawn following our home Mite Tournament held in early March.

Sponsors:        Patti Olinyk organized team the sponsorships for 2006-07.  Ten sponsor donated $400 each to support a SWCYHA team.  This year sponsorship banners will be hung in the players’ bench at home and away games rather than each skater wearing a sponsor tag on their jersey.  Please remove all old sponsorship tags from SWCYHA home/away jerseys.  A motion was made to approve a $400 tournament allotment for each team this season. M2 (Paulsen, Lamb) Approved.

Code of

Conduct:         A Board Member, Parent, Coach and Player Code of Conduct are being reviewed, updated and formulated by Board Members.  These codes of conduct will be presented at a later date.

Ice:                  A special “thank you” to all who have helped during our ice loss in late November due to a leak in the 6” return line to the chillers. We had great support removing the ice, making repairs and building new ice.  SWCRC is handling all insurance claim related items.  Again, thank you for your support from past and present association members!

Player

Transfer:         A discussion was held regarding guidelines for a skater transferring from SWCYHA to the WIAA Girl’s team,(PRGHBC) or any other team within our organization after registration, team tryouts and team selection. Guidelines need to be established for players transferring out of or within SWCYHA (i.e. Bantam to Club, Boys to Girls or Girls to Boys).

The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 18, 2006, 7:00 PM, at the South Wood County Rec. Center.

Motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:48 PM. M/2 (Lamb/McNaughton) Carried.
