Old Business:  Satisfaction survey – Pugh informed the board that we still need to work on the satisfaction surveys that we are going to send out to the parents and umpires.  Ideas of what questions need to be asked should be brought to the next meeting.  Someone will need to take the lead and put the survey up on a site, and send out the links to the email addresses we have from registration.

New Business: 

·         Gilman told the board that we still have Game of Wickliffe gift cards that they sent us instead of a sponsorship.  She asked how we should proceed with them.  It was decided by the board that since there is no expiration date, they would be put in a basket for next year’s Game Show Night.

·         Brandt believes the board needs to plan the next 6 months for instruction/clinics for the kids.  This is the time of the year that kids improve, not during the season.  We need to have a discussion with Motta and see if he has any ideas.

·         Levon asked the board if he could form a 13U travel team for the 2018 season, as he has lost almost half of his 2017 tournament team to other travel teams in the area.  We had a team in 2016 that used this same format.  The board agreed that Levon could proceed in setting up a team.

·         Brandt suggested that we donate $500 of the leftover Cooperstown account back to the Eagles.  They had donated $10,000 for the team to make the trip.  The board agreed, and the money will be given back at the next Eagles meeting.
