April 07 meeting minutes
Those present: Russ Knutson, Vicki Griepentrog, Shawn Mecum, Randy Schulte and Judy Thurston
Basketball
Russ wrapped up the basketball stuff, advising that he has still not received the equipment from the 4th grade, 5th grade, part of the 7th grade and 2 kids from the 8th grade. Shawn will talk to Pam Bauer about getting the stuff turned in; Vicki will get the 5th grade stuff, Russ to contact Dave Osborne. If the equipment and uniforms are not returned to us we will be sending out bills to cover the cost of new uniforms.
We received the bill from Mark’s Market for the basketball banquet. It was far less than the football banquet.
Football
We discussed the options of moving to the Dane County League for football. The meeting for the current league we are in is Sunday April 15th at 6pm in Sun Prairie. Randy and Shawn stated that they would try to be there to find out what changes were going to take place.
Shawn is going to check into the Dane County League and get some questions answered that we have about that league and get back to us at the May meeting. We will then vote on which league we want to get into for the season.
Russ talked about the league that Rio and Randolph plays in but there are less rules and guidelines so no one thought we should change to that.
Most everyone is pushing to change to the Dane County League just because it is new schools and more teams to play. We also found that no matter what league we go to the teams will be based on grades. There will no longer be a mixed 5th/6th grade team. To get enough kids to play we thought we should actively recruit the kids from Cambria to help with the number of kids on each team.
We will be having the spring football sign-up at the High School weight room on May 9th from 5p-7p. Judy will take care of getting the information to Rita Bortz at the elementary school and Mrs. Pulver at the middle school.
Russ has now been given a key to the storage area to where our equipment is. He just needs a key to the gate and scoreboard before football season starts.
Russ thought we should also contact some of the other teams in the area like Randolph and see if they want to scrimmage prior to the season starting.
Baseball
Shawn and Judy talked about the Portage Little League meeting that they attended. Portage has agreed to redraw their boundaries for the 2008 season. We will be working closely with the Portage League starting in September to get this all done by the start of next season. For this year we are going to work with the Park & Rec program and just have the kids’ try-out for the tournament teams.
Shawn will take care of contacting Connie Cone about uniforms and we will be able to come back with quotes for the amount it will cost and then we will have to make a decision as to how much we want to charge the families that make the tournament team.
Shawn and Judy are also attending the Wyocena Village meeting to see if we can turn the baseball field there into a Little League field. We are in the process of applying for a grant to help pay for the renovations at that location.
Trophy Case
Randy checked into the prices for a trophy case for the middle school. He found some but they are running about $2000. So he checked with the MATC construction/cabinetry program so see if they will build one for us if we buy the materials. He has not heard back from them but will let us know as soon as he does. This may not be done until the beginning of the school year since it is so close to graduation for MATC. Everyone agreed that would be ok. We are going to have the trophy case be about 4’X5’.
Gym Floor
Russ talked about the proposals he gave the school board at their meeting on March 19th. Many people there agreed that this needs to be done but of course nothing was decided. Russ advised that we should have people continue to go to the school board meetings so they realize how serious the community and parents are about getting this done. The next school board meeting is Monday April 16th at 7pm.
Next Boys Club meeting is May 2nd at 6pm – Phil Kamrath’s room.
