Agenda - Decisions and Action Item

Synchro  Team Update

Synchro update. The show was well attended and has a piece in the Forest Lake Times currently.  Hannah reported that the camera is working well and the ipads have been a very useful and efficient tool particularly. Laura is using the camera mostly with the extended and A teams. Sections are Friday and Saturday for the season and State is week after.

Treasurer Report

Current balance for the WM, Girls and Synchro teams are available. 

Erica said that the Synchro Show raised $3190 in tickets and that a lot of the $ came through the Venmo transitions so that worked well. 

Check is in hand for the Rotay grant  - reimbursing the camera , wire fee and stylus.  The Plunge Funds have yet to be received.  Unsure to the amount expected.

Epilepsy truck raised $546.00.

Purchases

Can we move ahead with ordering the starter system.

Had approved money for ipads, cases and starter system in March.

Starter system with stand and shipping is running around $2200.

Jim can contact Colorado Systems for ordering the system that coaches have approved and requested in March and has the bank card from Erica.

Erica needs to arrange a larger daily limit on the card and Jon needs to go to the bank with her for signatory purposes.

Target gift card in hand and this can be used towards hospitality tote needs. $140. Hayley has this.

Fundraising

Epilepsy raised $546.

Dairy Queen

All set for the last day of school. Need to post on social media, high school announcements etc.

Amy mentioned that the new car wash place in Forest Lake have a fundraising opportunity with their car wash cards.  Jakki had a flyer from Pizza Hut also.  Jon wants to regroup efforts for the Famous Daves in Fall.

Other Business 

Synchro Record Board

Hayley can contact Laura after synchro season to check on the logo situation. This is all we are waiting on before we can run a proof for the board.

Meeting Locations for next year

Jon has information booking from Wyoming Library. Can use the meeting room for free as we are a non-profit. Can only book 60 days out.  Jim will ask Mike at High School about options at school for meetings. Need to be able to book a date.  Erica has asked at the Y in Forest Lake. Yes they are able to offer a meeting room free of charge but have a strict 1 hour policy  Wyoming Library also closes at 8pm. 

June meeting with coaches would be ideal to formalize some by law changes. Process on fundraising in the future, team rep liaisons, encourage attendance from captains etc. 

Also some opportunities for Wavemakers to go to the Parent Meetings for the girls, boys, synchro etc.  Can we ask for Wavemakers dues $25. 

 Erica will send date options to them.

Coaches need to update on whether they have been able to get to use the camera for the boys and girls swimmers. Also can they give us images from the camera to post on facebook and Avery can post to the Wavemakers Website to thank the sponsors etc.
