Meeting started at 7:40 with Phil & Brenda Teem, Joe Martin, Mike Burdett, Sandi Sprigg, Mary Ann Schick, Jeff Chapel and Rhea Thomas in attendance.

The Minutes from the last meeting read and accepted as written.

Treasurer's Report:  The plaques are in and paid for.  This report accepted as reported.

We thank Sher for volunteering to the dogs etc. at the Midyear but Keith also volunteered and Sher said Thanks, Be my Guest.

The chain of command was discussed.  Any sportsmanship, rules disagreement or other problems that may come up on the night of play should be relayed to the Division Coordinator.  To protest any action the Division Coordinator will call the Rules Chairman (who is Phil Teem) to see if it is protestable.

Phil Teem started a Luck of the Draw at Dillingers on 12/1/99.  For those who have played at Dillingers in the past - They have removed the shuffle board, the electric dart boards and now have 5 steel tip dart boards up.  All but 2 lights were up as of this date.

There was discussion on the 3rd Division format change again.  It was voted that next year the 2 man 501 would be the first game and the cricket to 12 would be the last game.  This will start in the Fall of 2000.

It was voted that the Sponsor Fee must be paid before a team can play at a venue.  This will be a new rule.  Rule 1-C will have the addition of these words - "Sponsor and".   Mary Ann Schick motioned, Brenda Teem 2nd it.  Passed unanimously.

Sign Up Dates:
You must have your team lined up and ready to go by 12/27 as there will be a Board meeting to make up schedules and assemble the packets for the Winter League.  This meeting will be at Joe Martin's home at 7:30 pm.

Next Board meeting is at 7:30 at the VFW on January 5, 2000.

Meeting adjourned at 9:10 followed by a lovely buffet of finger yummies.

11/3/99

Attendance:  Mary Ann Schick, Joe & Sher Martin, Sandi Sprigg, Brenda Teem, Rich McClelland, Jeff Chapel, Mike Burdett, Rhea Thomas.

Minutes from 10/7/99 read and approved.

Treasurer's Report accepted as read.

Outstanding fees discussed.  Phone calls will be made to appropriate people.  Need money by this Monday 11/8/99 or points will start to be forfeited per our Rules.  Mary Ann Schick motioned, Brenda Teem 2nd.

Our ADO application was sent in on 11/5/99.  Debbie McQuillan is ADO Rep.

New League phone in Joe's house was ok'd by Board.  Joe will publish number in stats ASAP.  Phone will cost $39.00 per month.

Past and new sponsors should be encouraged to read our League rules so there is no question as to their responsibility to the players and to what is an adequate playing area.

We may have a new Division 1 team.  It would be nice to get one or three more for that Division to avoid the Bye situation.  This team will start after the Midyear.

Our Midyear Banquet Hall contract is signed.  The cost of the hall is $650.00.  All current and past members are invited.  Joe made up some beautiful cards to mail to these members.  Some 450+ will be mailed.

Motion:  Mike Burdett would like to add $200.00 to the Luck of the Draw amount for the Midyear Banquet.  This would enable a paydown of 16 teams.  Motion seconded by Sandi Sprigg.  Passed Unanimously.

Sportsmanship, or lack of it in some cases, was discussed.  Some individuals are overdrinking and becoming petty and irate about rules, ect.  Captains and other players should try to help keep a lid on their teams tempers and language.  An article concerning this will be seen in the newsletter to emphasize positive sportsmanship.  Rhea Thomas motioned that a certificate of good sportsmanship for a team be implemented at the Year End Banquet.  This would be voted on by all those in that Division for their Division.  Sandi Sprigg 2nd.  Passed by all.

Jeff Chapel suggested having a dart clinic with anyone who is interested.  The Board felt it was a great idea.  Jeff will pursue his suggestion.

Format change for 3rd Division play - Game 1 on the score sheet (Cricket to 12) will be switched with the 7th game (601 DI/DO).  This change will be permanent with the 2nd season.  For the rest of this season it is optional but a notation must be made on the score sheet as to how it was played so Joe can keep the stats.  Remember, all rules apply with this change (the 2,3,4,6 rule)

Sher Martin has volunteered to work in the kitchen to do hot dogs, etc. at the Midyear.  Thanks Sher.

It was suggested by Rich to have the Moe Crook shoot at the VFW instead of a neutral bar.  Moe was a member of the VFW and the VFW has enough boards t o accommodate everyone.  Board saw no problem with this change.

Meeting ended at 9:20.
Next meeting is on December 1, 1999 @ 7:30 at the VFW.

Respectfully Submitted,
Rhea Thomas, Acting Secretary

10/7/99

Attendance:  Phil & Brenda Teem, Sandi Sprigg, Mary Ann Schick, Rhea Thomas, Mike Burdett.

Schedule with 9/12 date is correct revised schedule.  Please note revision or get revised schedule ASAP.

Please review all rules.  Have your new players do so also.

Joe is looking for articles, pictures, stories and new addresses for the newsletter. These can be mailed in with your weekly stats.

Treasurer Report.  Accepted as read.

Debbie McQuillan came in 9th out of 17 women in the Las Vegas shoot.  In lieu of the money we voted to give her for her trip.  She chose free membership for 2 years plus $10.00.

One Fairlane team is now out of Dillingers.

Jeff Chapel's phone number should be corrected.

Thought was given to a format change for 3rd Division.  Cricket to 12 not wanted as a first game.  It should be kept a 3 man game preferably not a DI/DO.

Mike has received the application for renewal to ADO for the year 2000.

The ADO Cricket shoot deadline was 10/3/99 for play in Youngstown, Ohio on 11/6/99.

Midyear Banquet on January 8, 2000.  Work on the boards before this date.

Motion:  Lynn McClelland has resigned her position as recording secretary. President Mike Burdett has appointed Rhea Thomas to this position with the backing of the Board.  Lynn will be retained as a Trustee in good standing with NODA.  The Board will honor Lynn at the Midyear for her dedication and years of service to NODA.

Motion:  Chris Reister has offered 2 Redwings hockey tickets for the NODA to raffle.  Chris would like in return $500 off the top of the proceeds with anything above that amount going to the NODA.  It was discussed that the raffle be only amongst NODA members (to avoid having to get a state raffle license) and to be held over a 4 week period.  Also it would be best to end the raffle at the Midyear banquet.  Mike will look into the specifics.  Motion carried unanimously.

Next meeting at 7:30 at the VFW on November 3, 1999.

Meeting adjourned at 9:05.

Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary
