Agenda: 2009-2010 Wrestling Season

1.  Prior minutes were reviewed and approved.

2. Scotty Aumann is working with an accountant on the non-profit status paperwork and gambling license.  Cruz would like to run a Texas Hold Em type fundraising event. Immediate attention is needed in fundraising. Possible novice tournament to produce lump sum of money. Need 2 Saturdays for tournaments. Possibility of running jv tournament with the novice.

3. More discussion was held regarding the upcoming vote.  August 25, 2009 was confirmed to be the official meeting to vote whether to join Tri County or to stay with Sussex County. Novice coach feels that TriCounty could be a good deal. Sparta Pride could possibley be moving to Passaics league. That would be depleting 2 teams from Sussex if Hopatcong and Sparta leave. Sussex County turned down 2 teams recently that wanted to join that league. 

4.  Discussion of what board members can be dedicated to all meetings and all events. The concern whether to replace members that can’t be as committed.

5. Discussion of how/when to do upcoming tournaments in reference to dates and expenses.

6. Adopting concession stand schedule for parent volunteering and opt-out choice.

7. Next meeting discussion of registration dates and practice starting date. Option of running open house for sign ups.
