Pardeeville Boys Club Minutes
February 1, 2006

The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by President, Russ Knutson. Those in attendance were, Russ Knutson, Charlie Curtis, Chris Johnson, and Julee Dredske.

Old Business:

On January 9, 2006 members of the Boys Club attended the Pardeeville School Board meeting regarding issues with the High School gym floor and the lighting in the gym. The school has started looking into the lighting situation with the manufacture of the lights and nothing new on the floor at this time. Members of the Boys Club are going to continue to pursue these issues. At this time we will not be going back to another school board meeting till we have more information in hand.

2006 Boys Club Basketball Tournament was a great success. Many Thanks go out to all the people that helped make this tournament the great success that it was.

The income from the tournament was $5,398.19; expenses paid out were $1,203.75 leaving a profit of $4,194.44. Julee Dredske stated that there were a couple of unpaid bills yet that will affect the final dollar amount.

We discussed the goods and the bads of the tournament.
Things done well:
Excellent variety of food
Pool Play
Banners by entrances
Very nice medals and trophies
Very nice to have the custodian for clean up
Things done not so well:
Too long of a day
3 timeouts too many – looking at only 2 per half next year
Need someone with keys there to open in the early AM.

Lots of good comments were heard from the other teams and parents attending the tournament. Russ Knutson mentioned that we should try to host the tournament on the same weekend every year that way teams can try and plan ahead to attend.

Thank yous will be sent out by Julee Dredske to those who donated to the Boys Club. Russ Knutson is also going to put a thank you in the paper.

New Business:

The hiring process of the coaches in the school system was brought up by the members. There was discussion on if we wanted to take this issue to the School Board or not. There was also discussion on what the actually procedure is on hiring a coach. After further discussion on the topic we decided to not take this to the School Board at this time but to form a sub-committee to get more information on the whole procedure. Once the sub-committee has a chance to meet they will report back to the Board for further discussion at that time.

Boys Club Basketball Banquet date was set for Tuesday, March 7th. It will take place in the High School Cafeteria. It will be a potluck meal as in the past. More information to come on this, we will be discussing it further at our next meeting. (Banquet was later changed due to a conflict to March 13 @ 6:00 in the HS cafeteria)

Meeting was adjourned at 8:00pm.

The next meeting is set for Tuesday, February 28th at 6:00pm in Phil Kamrath’s room at the High School.
