Nomination Committee Executive will be elected at the Annual General Meeting in May. Mary Lou will contact current members of the executive to determine if they are interested in reoffering. Other members of the executive and EKMHA body may forward nominations to Mary Lou (who will record these). Nominations may also be made from the floor at the AGM.

Dance - We made approximately $400 profit from the dance. We will have to determine if it is a worthwhile fundraiser considering time involed, limited participation, etc. We may investigate other fundraising opportunites or increase registration by the $10 dance ticket price.

Policy Manual - Draft circulated, work still needs to be done regarding the process of player selection. George suggest rating kids at end of season for use next season. All comments, suggestions, general feedback will be heard and evaluated at the April meeting.

March Break Ice - what do we do with unused ice during these periods? It is up to the teams to advise Frank when scheduled ice will not be used. This can waste alot of money if teams do no cancel their unused time.

End of Season date - is the Saturday after March break.

Ice after End of Season Motion: Mike R. second: George C. that we not offer free ice time to teams going to SEDMHA or other tournaments. 15 for 1 opposed motion carried.

Atlantic Theatre Festival Fundraising Opportunity - EKMHA can earn 20% commission on new subscriptions they refer. This opportunity ends April 15th. For more information, contact Jim Murphy or phone 542-1936.

Pee Wee AAA - general discussion of pros and cons of offerring a AAA programme with our limited numbers. Kentville has decided not to offer any AAA, we will check with West Hants to see what their plans are. We will poll our Atom kids/parents and advise of costs, time committment, travel, etc. to determine number of interested players for consideration before deciding if we will offer the programme.

Next Meeting - March 26 - 7:30 @ Port Williams School.
