Old Business

Video Equipment Project

Update from Dean - Camera equipment is ordered. A new computer to run the system will be ordered as approved in previous meetings. If any laptops are donated from a swim family then they can be used for coaches or timing systems. Dean is working out the cables and will also follow up with Mike Hennen regarding the TV mount for the wall above the timing deck.

The TV will be a permanent addition to the pool set up , away from water damage potential. The camera equipment will be stored in a lockable case and signed out by each Head Coach at the start of their seasons. Anything missing at the end of the season is that team's responsibility to replace.

The new computer ordered for this system will be just for use in the video set up. Not timing.

Dean anticipates by the GIrls Synchro season this should be in place.

Timing Software update

The new version 8.0 for the timing system is available. Coach Mancini will ask for the school to cover the costs as meets cannot be run without the software. He will approach Hennen. Discussion on whether donated laptops v school laptops can be used for this system. Question for Hennen. We will need the new version by the start of the girls season in the fall.

Record Board Update

New piece arrived 2/9 but was damaged on one end. Rob will try to see if it can be fixed to add on to the board for the interim, but will contact the company about a replacement. Damaged in transit by UPS.

Dean will check to see if a local company in Chisago could supply future ones. Everwood in Chisago. Can be collected so will be potentially a saving in the shipping.

New Business

Future Fundraising Epilepsy Clothing Drive

American Legion as a host site (place to park the truck). Idea to plan for the Earth Day weekend, April 22nd is Earth Day. So the weekend 23/24th is the initial thought.

Confirm date and get the information on the school daily news. As that stays on the information until the date.

Dairy Queen - Blizzard Night

Idea for having this as the last day of school in June. Sheeren will reach out to DQ contact.

Other Ideas

- Applying for gift cards at Target and Walmart - need a date for an event.

- Lions - any other grants for laptops etc or donations?

- Culvers Pancake Breakfast - they provide space but we need to do the cooking - Big Apple Bagels - %(10) of the sales .. Thanksgiving week?

- Company match donations policies

Remember to use Amazon Smile
