Members present:  Jeff Meyer, Tom Reuteman, Dave Gehringer, Bob Wilcox, Steve Ries, Liz Sweet, Patty Hovind, Julie Jolitz, Jeff Oleson, Dean Veling, Dave Knapp, Bob Wellenstein

 

Colleen Terry spoke to the group regarding the Archdiocesan School Planning and Accreditation team that will be visiting our school on Oct. 25, 2007. It is important that we have all coach’s and athlete’s forms on file. We should keep these on campus and we decided this could easily be accomplished. We also need to make sure an accident report is completed for any major injury to a student or coach

 

Secretary’s Report—March report approved and submitted

 

Treasurer’s report—Gym rental fees and gate receipts are lower this year than last because we hosted fewer home games this year. Steve will try and break out CYM fees and income on the financial statement. We discussed the possibility of lowering the participation fee for the athletes. One option would be to give a discount to families with multiple athletes participating. We will discuss this further.

 

Track Report— Track season has started and they have had two meets so far. We will be ordering a couple of shot puts and metal cleats for the starter blocks. We discussed the high jump pit and due to storage, safety, expense, and usage we will not be purchasing one.

 

Volleyball update---Volleyball splits will be held Aug. 15-17. The registration deadline is May 25th. Bob is planning a parent meeting on Thur. May 31st @ 6:30 in the Presentation Hall. Bob has also requested to get the same tournament dates as last year. Patty will be checking the schedule. Volleyball camp is set for July.

 

 

Basketball Update---Bob Wilcox has requested the same tournament dates as last year. St. John Vianney basketball camp will be held 7/30-8/2. Waukesha Women’s coach Jack Hervert will run this camp. This camp will be for incoming 5th through 8th graders.  Jeff Oleson reported that about half of the coach’s evaluations have come in. Jeff suggested we try and do these evaluations on-line in the future. He will be investigating this option.

 

Miscellaneous—

 

            Julie Jolitz will be looking into another option for athletic form registration. This format will be using one form for all sports.

 

            It was decided that new basketball uniforms will not be purchased this year. The current ones are still in good condition. We will keep addressing this issue as we still have to deal with the non-reversible issue. We will also evaluate the condition of the volleyball uniforms. Some of these may be replaced.

 

            We have switched coolers in the concession room going from Coke to Pepsi.

 

            We discussed the fact that the gym has been left unlocked on several occasions. We may be changing the locks and issuing new keys.

 

            Kloza/Sandstrom award nominations should be in within the next 2 weeks. The athletic banquet invites have been sent and all is set for this event.

 

            Everyone should be thinking about new board member nominations. The Discernment will be held in a couple of months.

 

            Board members that have ideas on spending money should be investigating the costs and have them available for our next meeting. Dean Veling wants to extend the storage cage in the gym and the cost to have this done is $960. The board approved this expenditure.

 

Next meeting   May 21, 2007

 

 

Respectfully submitted,
