New News:
Winter Swim Meet in Alexandria
Mike Wencl is trying to get a winter meet here in Alexandria sometime in February. He is trying for February 20 or 27. Mike has contacted the officials and they are open to having a Northern Lights Regional Meet or ABC Finals. Many clubs from Moorhead and Bemidji are interested in coming. This would be much needed money for the club. We will discuss details at next months meeting.
Mike stated that money is needed for a new laptop, flippers and boards are needed for the swim club.
Ice Fishing Challenge
Mark Storhaugh and Mike Wencl are going to coordinate with parents to get volunteers to help with the Alexandria Ice Fishing Challenge. This will had some extra money for the club as well.
Swim Club Financial Records
Since the financial records were not given to Randy Winger last month, Mike Wencl will be given a time deadline of December 15 to handover the Quickbooks files to Randy Winger for his management for the swim club. The swim club can not move forward on hiring new coaches until they have a budget and know what they can pay the coaches. The board would like to know what the budget is before year end 2009.
Fund raising was briefly talked about for additional financial help for the swim club. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
New Coaches
Kristen Eklund will be emailing contacts for interest in swim coaches. She will contact colleges and MSI.
Board members strongly suggested that all board members be present for January’s board meeting to make sure we have a quorum for voting.
Next board meeting will be January 11 at 6:00 p.m. at Discovery Middle School.
Meeting adjourned 7:00 p.m.
Kris Chromey
Secretary
