Meeting Discussion Items:

 

Ron Baker called Meeting to order:

 

  1. Treasurer’s Report - Tammy passed out Financial Reports with Cash on Hand and Previous year comparison.   Approved Treasurer’s Report. 1st - Phil Klinger,  2nd  - Tina Shafer.
  2. Ron Baker had information from Ross Sterner for 14U Fast Pitch All-Stars.  Ross is getting a team together for a couple All-Star Tournaments.  He was asking DAGSA for money for the team.  It was decided we would give them the amount we gave all DAGSA Slow pitch All-Star teams this year, which was a total of $635.  All agreed and motion was carried.  1st – Shannon. 2nd – Tammy.
  3. It was brought up that the By-Laws in reference to All-Stars be looked at for next year. Also coaching needs looked at next year too for League and All-Stars.  This was table until the next meeting. 
  4. Concessions – Bob is to contact his outside vender to come to the next meeting to give us some more information.  He has someone (Like at a carnival) that would bring their van/truck to the league games and tournaments.  It was discussed that we contact more than one vendor to compare prices, etc. 
  5. Equipment - All Equipment and Keys should be turned into Ron Baker except the teams having fall ball.  Coaches need to contact Ron ASAP.
  6. Phil Klinger had some information from the Suburban league.  Being our numbers are dropping in the 12, 14 and 18 ages groups.  West Shore League was also mentioned. We have to see what the interest is from the league, other Perry County teams and the parents.  The next League Meeting is Oct 25th @6:00.  We had some discussion on this and we have to get more information to take it to the next league meeting. 
  7. Open Discussion – Bob Armstrong brought up trying to get sponsorships again for next year.  All members agreed that now is the time to get the ball rolling if we are going to do this.  Bob and Tina were going to draft letters of sponsorship. Emails will be sent for approval.  We will need about 17 teams.  It will be on a first come first serve basis for sponsors for teams. 
  8. Andy Kreiger presented a letter to the board saying he wanted to become part of the board.  All board members voted, approved and welcomed Andy. 
  9. Discussed that all coaches or intended coaches should attend all meetings.  Then they know what is going on.  This will tell us if they are interested in being a part of DAGSA and not just coaching.  Discussed definitely having a coaches and team mom meeting next year so that everyone is on the same page as far as concessions, 50/50, etc. 
  10. Ron had email from Mike.  Mike got a tractor and needs $150 to fix steering and belts.   Could be a possibility for Wagner.  But we would need to store it.  Need to get info from Wagner. 

 

11.                        Next Meeting - Sept 26th @ 6:00 (Fall Ball will be over by then), so lets make it 6:00. Games are at 1:00 & 2:45. If this is a problem let me know.
