Agenda - Decisions and Action Items
Treasurer Update
Fundraisers for DQ & Clothing Drive raised $450 & $913 respectively. Balance of account $17,109.49.
Girls Team Update
Season starting and Captains practice costs are covered by WM and will await Traci’s invoice.
Video equipment is ready and needs to be signed out by Head Coach.
Printer for the meet needs ink, Rob usually gets this for it. Jim has the laptop and software ready to go.
Lane line issue is being fixed, 2 lanes are being replaced this week at cost of $54.
Lines affected are practice lanes - WM provided practice lanes, Meet lane lines are OK. Rob will check
the condition of the remaining lines when they are replaced.
Vacant Team Rep Positions
By Laws demand each of the team, GIrls, Boys and Synchro, each provide a Representative to attend
Wavemaker Meetings. They will vote for and be a voice for the teams. Coaches have been emailed and
will be contacted again. Hayley will message Deb for the boys team. These can be parents of athletes or
athletes themselves. NHS members can use the time for volunteer hours.
Meeting Dates
Suggested to keep next month at 9/14 (Weds) then switch to Tuesdays, 10/4, 11/1 & 12/6.
Old Business
Rebecca Fahning asked for more clarification on requirements of the Team Rep position, Jon will deal
with this.
Rebecca wondered who paid for captain photos for the teams - the large posters displayed at the pool..
These are Senior and not captain photos. Team usually deals with this - either with the team funds or
parents of Senior athletes when the team photos are taken.
Fundraisers
Fundraising idea of the towels, examples are in and look good. Supplier is in Stacy and Dean can collect.
Order form examples went round. THey will be available to order, maybe at the meets and also at school
events to raise money. Each towel is $23.50 with name and School logo. Selling for $35 to give
Wavemakers a profit of just over $10 per towel. Idea to get some printed with just the logo and to have
those ready to sell at meets.
Website Domain
Domain cost is $12 per annum. No discounts for multiple years. Jon approved signing up for the max
allowed of 3 years.
AOB
Mail Chimp
Changed the contact details for this to be Hayleys phone number and email for Wavemakers.
Dean needs to get an updated email list for the girls team.
Hospitality Tote
The tote which goes round the 3 teams for storing of the paper goods for after home meet hospilatluty
needs to be found and stocked. Amy will look at this and submit receipts for reimbursement. This is for
goods used for after meet hospitality only, not team breakfasts and get togethers .
Future Needs
Coaches need to be contacted to see what they need and require and what we can help them with.
Items that can help all 3 teams, posters, the camera equipment was last year's project which the diving
coaches and synchro team will benefit from. Amy asked if Northern Formation Synchro could use the
camera equipment, this was a WM booster club purchase for the High School teams only. They cannot
use the WM equipment for the synchro club. Dean said if they wanted to purchase the set up for their
use he is happy to share the equipment used etc.
Community SPonsors
Rebecca asked what the position is on getting sponsorship for the teams from the community. Jon didn’t
think this was a great need as we have no ‘big project’ for Wavemakers currently. A lot of local
companies provide donations to the Rangers sports for high school as it stands. There is already a space
on the meet programs and posters for the companies that support teams. Is this sponsorship extra to
this and what would they want from the deal? One for future meetings perhaps.
