We have our EIN #.  Document was emailed to everyone – please save a copy as this will be the only copy that we will ever  receive or be available to us.

CRPA has agreed to clean up the rink, fix the fence, boards and paint.  This should be completed by September 1, 2011.  They will try to budget additional funds for next year to complete a renovation, if we can show there is a need and get a good turnout during the fall.

Eric Gudbrandsen has verbal commitment from several people for the adult league – enough for possibly five to six teams.  Registration would be $85 per player.  Rink time would be Fridays, 6 pm to whenever.

Eric Gutmann will provide referees.  Also, Eric Gutmann will check into getting team registered in AAU program, insurance, and getting kids to sign up.

The HS and MS competitive teams  are gearing up for their tryouts this month.  They are looking to hold their practices as follows:  HS (2 teams) -- Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.  MS – Wednesdays from 6-7:00, pending Eric Gutmann’s availability and schedule.

Jeff is trying to set up a meeting with Jay Worley from CRPA on August 17 to clarify how we should handle including the HS and MS teams under CHILL or having them as sponsors.   Also, need to meet with Jay to re-introduce the hockey program, inspire support, and clarify requirements under the YAA.

Discussed Fall program to run September 6 – November 12.  All programs would require full equipment and would cost $80.  Some possible volunteers to help with the program include Rolf’s son, Ursula’s son, possibly Andy’s son.
