· 2007 Registration Date
Consider 2 registration dates. Need to get some banners to place around town. If we are to hold 2 dates, one would need to do one before school gets out. We should consider a “Space is limited” message along with deadlines to encourage early enrollment. We will have a “No fees paid” = no uniform policy. Dates to consider…End of March? Early April? If we wait until April this will allow time for the coaching situation to settle down. It is more important to get valid registration numbers than to be concerned about getting the dollars at the time of registration. Consider a Deposit policy to hold your slot?? Payment/deposit at registration ensures you have a slot. After discussion we are targeting April for registration. Download the form and send in to the PO Box with your check is another option. We can still look at enabling credit card capabilities. It was also suggested that we could give people an opportunity to make a contribution via the registration form—“Friends of Falmouth Football” Such a contributions are considered tax deductible to the contributor based on our tax status.
· 2007 Budget Timetable
Budget discussion to be held in March.
· Coaching Updates
No news. Jason is working on it. He has told Zareh that he will let us know what is going on no later than the end of them month.
Where are we at with other levels?
MS - Mike McGovern does not want to be the Head Coach next year. Eric Lake is not interested, but Greg Scott has expressed interest.
· Equipment Update:
Equipment we did get helmet and shoulder pad racks that have been assembled. We need to decide what to do about replacing the MS Uniforms.
· Open Discussion
MYF - Pee Wee considering coming under MYF. The board was interested in exploring this. Pee Wee representation made a presentation to the MYF. MYF wants to keep PeeWee levels at their current competitive levels. This past year Dave encountered different philosophies on competitiveness at Pee We levels from his peer coaches. MYF could add structure and consistency as a governing agency.
Randy will stay with the board, but probably not as the HS VP. Chip will also stay on.
· Turf/Game On Discussion;
Website www.gameon.squarespace.com
Things are moving along quite well. FEF has allowed us to use their non-profit designation. A FEF member will be joining the Game on Group. We do not have to have an official approval from the school board to go to the Town Council. There will be a public Forum next Tuesday. We need to talk it up and get as many people to attend as possible. We want to make it a big show of support. 7:00 next Tuesday here at the High School in the Library or Cafeteria. The PowerPoint presentation is on the website.
We want to get a member from each of the groups to work on the fund raising committee. We will make a list of Falmouth Corporations to go to them from a fund raising perspective. If anyone knows of anyone in the Football organization who would be interested in fund raising to let Zareh know.
· Financial Update:
We ended 2006 at just over $ 26,000.
Liability with vendors approx 5-6K
Next Meeting: To be announced.
Adjourn at 8:10
Respectfully submitted,
Tricia Tetreau
Secretary
