Board of Directors’ Meeting Minutes

South Wood County Rec. Center

Attendance:     The meeting was called to order at 6:35 PM by President, Dave Steinhilber.  Board Members present were Candy Blakeslee, Eileen Hillila, Daniel Janik, Doug Kreuser, Kelly Lamb, Carmella Lyp, Jane Overfelt, Lynn Schroer, and Dave Steinhilber.  Bernie Esselman and Jess Yenter were absent.  Guest: Tim McNaughton

Tournaments: Gail Prochnow and Dan Paulsen were present to discuss tournaments for the 2006-07 season.  Proposed tournaments are Bantam A & B: Dec. 8, 9, 10; Squirt A & B:  Jan. 20, 21; PeeWee A & B:  Feb. 2, 3, 4; Mini Mite Jamboree: Feb. 24; Mite A & B:  March 10, 11.  The girls U12 and U14 teams will not have a tournament this year on our ice because Stevens Point already has one scheduled.  With the co-op, this is considered a home tournament for the girls.  We will be alternating years with Point so next year’s tournament will be held in Wisconsin Rapids. 

Deb Edwards has agreed to be this year’s tournament director.  Dan Paulsen will oversee the PeeWee tournament and Gail Prochnow will oversee the Squirt tournament.  We will look for volunteers to oversee the rest of the tournaments.  Costs were also set for each tournament:  Bantam- $475, PeeWee- $450, Squirt- $400, Mite- $325, and Mini Mite- $100.
