2. Team fees were set at $325 per player. Team fees are due before the player can take the ice for tryouts. If the player does not make the team, we destroy the check. (Stacey and Chip-if you do not agree with that fee please let us know)

Also we agreed that the photographer and Doug will get a full page to split between the two companies in the program for free.
5. The Taco feed is all set with all shifts filled per the Sign up genius. We decided to challenge the baseball players and families to attend out fundraiser as Cole purchased a ticket for their fundraiser in Nov. The thought process was to promote one Tartan and to build as a school and support different teams.
6. Cole will contact Munter to get information on when feepay will open so players can sign up for hockey. He will also contact Patti to get it in the announcements. Once that is confirmed I will send and email to all players letting them know it is open and also about the team fees.

8. Dale brought up that we have received a collections notice for something back in 2015 from the City of St Paul. Dale is working with them to get an invoice as to what the $66 bill is for.
9.. I brought up that the coffee stock in the BLR needs to be replenished and that I will be doing the same thing this year as last year with assigning families to home games to clean up the BLR after each home game.
