1          Reports/Voting

1.1      Approve Meeting Minutes (Dan Koopmans)

M/S/C: To approve the March minutes as written.

1.2      Treasurer’s Report (Colleen Bloom)

We have not finished paying the second half of Winter II or the second half of the Coliseum.  When we get the competition money, we should be able to pay the rest of these bills.   We currently have $14,672.90 in our account.

1.3      TCFSA Update Report  (Cathy Taylor-Sharp)

There has been no TCFSA meeting since the March RFSC Board meeting, so there was no report.

1.4      ICE Report (Cheryl Funk)

In the summer, we lose skaters for various reasons.  For this reason, the Ice Committee decided to offer 2 hours of ice per day during the summer.  The Synchro program will be opening up ice time on Fridays in a camp setting.  They will be meeting with Brad to brainstorm ideas for our ice situation.  We want to encourage the younger skaters to stay with the club and the ISI program.  Spring Ice is not as full as we would like.  We will work with the ISI program to benefit both.  Power class is going well.  Rink parents need to make sure the skaters on the ice have signed in.

1.5      Membership  Report (Carole Dillemuth)

There  were no new member applications this month.

1.6      Members in Bad Standing Report (Colleen Bloom)

There is one member the Colleen is working with to bring current.

1.7      Coaches Report (Pam Sandborg)

Synchro trials will be on April 29 and 30.  There will be Friday morning practices this year.  They will be working on edges and moves in the field, as well as the off ice.  There will be an ice dancing class and a power class.  There will be no free skate on Friday mornings, but there may be dead ice.

There is no volunteer coordinator at this time.

·        Competition gift bags

·        Golfing fundraiser

o       Jill Anfang of the Roseville Parks and Recreation Dept came to the Board meeting.  The North Suburban Youth Foundation is offering non-profits an opportunity to earn money for volunteer time working at a concession venue at one or two major golf events during the summer.  The days being offered are July 14 – 20 (3M Senior Men’s Championship) and possibly June 23 – 29 (LPGA Championship).  10 – 15 volunteers are needed for each 6 – 8 hour shift (8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.).  Up to 4 youth (15 years and older are eligible) are allowed on each shift.  The organization is compensated approximately $20 per volunteer per shift.  Parking is provided.  A meal is also provided to the volunteers.  Dress code is a white shirt with khakis.  Tennis shoes are required.  The Board thought it would be easier to fill the weekend slots for the July event (Friday – late shift, Saturday – both shifts, Sunday – both shifts).  An email will be sent out and sign up sheets will be posted to see what kind of interest we can get.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 9:08 p.m.

Dan Koopmans, Secretary
