May 07 meeting minutes
Boys Club Meeting May 2nd
Those in attendance: Russ, Judy, Vicki, Shawn, Chuck and Randy
Football:
Spring football weigh-in will be on May 9th at the High School weight room. The time is from 5p-7p. Vicki will bring her scale. Cambria school has been notified and it has also been put in the Bulldog Bark 2 times. Russ will also have it placed in the Portage paper. This is just to get an idea of how many kids we will have and to see if any parents will be interested in coaching.
Shawn Mecum and Chad Hoff went to the football meeting for the current league we are in. There are not going to be any changes made to the 4th-6th grade teams and if we are going to stay in that league then we need to declare our teams by Aug. 19th.
The Dane county league has a fee of $500 to join and after 2 years in the league you get $250 back. They have not yet held their meeting so Shawn did not have much info but will get back to us with that info at the next meeting.
Fundraising:
Russ wants us to start thinking of fundraising ideas. Some that came out was the Brat Fry on the 4th of July, Football cards that we did last year, golf outings and 50/10 raffles at the games. Shawn will talk to Dan Slade to see if he would be willing to help with the football cards again.
Gym Floor at the High School:
Russ and Phil are encouraging anyone that wants to go to the school board meetings to out pressure on them to make a decision on getting the floor replaced. If it comes down to it that the school will only pay for half Russ thought that we could probably kick in $2000.00.
Basketball:
Russ is still missing everything from the 4th grade team; Shawn is to talk to Pam Bauer again. We are also still short the 2 from the 8th grade team. If we do not receive them by May 11th then the kids will be charged $60. Judy is to remind Chris to see if she has them or if she can get them from the kids.
Trophy Case:
We have nothing new on that, Randy is going to talk to the MATC shop class in the fall to see if they will build one.
Baseball:
Shawn and Judy met with Connie Kohn to look at uniforms for the tournament teams. What they wanted was going to cost $1302.40. That was for 35 uniforms. They also only wanted to charge the kids $25 to play in the 2-3 tournaments that we can get into. This was voted down as it would be too much out of pocket spending and not enough income for this year. Russ thought that we should charge the kids $50 to play in the tournament this year and then that would include the tournament fees and a t-shirt that the kids can keep. Shawn and Judy will discuss that more and get back to the board on their decision.
Scholarships:
Russ brought up the subject of doing scholarships again. He just wants everyone to think about it and we can discuss it more at the next meeting. If we decide to do this, then we need to think about how many scholarships we want to give and for how much.
We were approached by Brad Henke, he wants to start a basketball program that runs during the fall Aug-Nov. We discussed the options but decided that we would not be able to help since that is during the football season. Judy will contact Brad and let him know and if he is willing to help with the Young Bulldogs during the basketball season we would keep him in mind.
Next meeting is June 6th at 6:00p in Phil’s room at the High School.
