7.      The board agreed to purchase Keith Walter’s fryer for the sum of $350.  Motion made by Tammy, seconded by Bob.  The fryer is currently in the concession stand at Penn.

 

8.      Jeff Ebersole requested that Keri Hockenberry be permitted to serve as a junior assistant on the A’s for her graduation project.  Approved.  It was suggested by Steve that something be put in the by-laws that DAGSA supports this type of thing and to indicate any requirements that should be met.

 

9.      Scott Cornelious requested that his ten year old daughter Sarah who has one year left on the Sweet Peas be permitted to move up to the Giants in 12 & Under.  It was considered a hardship considering Scott’s work schedule, his desire to continue coaching the Giants and his oldest daughter playing 14 & under and his son playing little league.  Steve suggested that something be put in the by-laws outlining a procedure for this sort of thing to provide support should DAGSA opt to not approve future early move up requests.  Currently there is no formalized process for making this decision.

 

10.  Ideas were discussed to solve the concession stand issue.  Timi and Mike made some suggestions.  Consideration will be made to charging a $30 “work” fee that will be held and returned when a family completes their obligation to work tournaments and concessions during the season.  DAGSA still would like to host as many as three tournaments in 2009.

 

11.  Equipment and keys turn in is scheduled for Saturday November 1 from 10 – 11 at the large shed beside Penn Small.

 

12.  There was discussion regarding a different process to insure that back ground checks are completed and on file for all coaches.  In 2008 there were at least two teams where none of the coaches had back ground checks on file.  It was suggested that DAGSA have the background checks done through the ASA player and coach registration process.

 

13.  The meeting was adjourned at 9:15.  The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday October 15 at 6:30 PM

 

Respectfully submitted by Stephen Crider
