Old Business
- Secretary’s Report – Lori England reviewed minutes from the November 15, 2007 meeting. Carrie Hachtel approved the minutes and Jim England seconded.
New Business
- Treasurer’s Report – Mark Hachtel reported for Debbie Galbreath:
- Warren Miller film netted approximately $4700.
- Treasurer’s report needs “recalculating” as it shows $35K+ at the end of the year and it should be closer to $22K. Mark will get with Debbie.
- Discussed possibility of paying for photography this year. The Deadwyler family has done it gratis in the past few years but put much time and effort into it.
- President’s Report – Mark reported:
- Varsity uniforms were chosen by several of the varsity players. The district has new rules this year that we must comply with regarding colors, trims, and a required 3” gusset on sides. Colors chosen for away games were black with green/gold accents. Home game jerseys will be Vegas gold with black/green accents. Manufacturer will be Boathouse. Numbers will be “lasered” into the fabric.
- Warrior gloves had been shipped as of this meeting. STX gloves were still two weeks away.
- Discussed the videographer – no one liked the one we had last year. Mark may speak with the videographer for the football team.
- Fundraising – Carrie Hachtel reported:
- Takeaways from this year’s Warren Miller movie include starting things a little earlier-especially newspaper ads.
- 3rd Level Shootout set for Saturday, April 12th. To date, 24 teams have expressed interest.
- Planning on two referees per game.
- Doug Gies coordinating but needs someone to manage the volunteers for that day.
- Discussion regarding t-shirts for the event and possible names that did not include “Mountain Vista.”
- Another vendor has expressed interest in doing the “Vista” cards. They are cheaper and we can give back what we don’t use. Jose and Mark will investigate.
- Team Logistics/Statistics –
- This position is still in need of coordinator for equipment and fields. Jose has score books and feels that the nets are in good shape.
- Marketing and Merchandising – Gayle reported:
- Helmets and merchandise has been ordered. All is well.
- Discussed purchasing black t-shirts for the office staff with LAX logo and a polo (not black) for Mr. Johnson.
- May run ads in the Highlands Ranch Herald regarding games at Shea. May also hold Youth Nights – free youth admission with purchase of adult ticket.
- Team Building - Donna Sweetin reported:
- Group continues to meet and plan team dinners as well as Awards and Recognition.
- Older varsity players organizing a team bowling event, hopefully during the holiday break.
- Discussed team saying/motto for team t-shirts. Many of the boy’s submissions were lengthy. Jeff suggested “One team…on fight”. Asked for other shorter suggestions as well from club members.
- Off-season Leagues – Gayle Hayungs reported:
- All good. Two JV teams at South Suburban and one Varsity at Foothills.
Coach’s Corner
- Jose is working on fields for the games – Shea, MVHS turf, etc.
