Those Present: Joe & Sher Martin, Lynn & Floyd McClelland, Brad & Cheryl McIntyre, Phil & Brenda Teem, Sandi Sprigg, Mary Ann Schick, Mike Burdett and Rhea Thomas.
Not excused were Dean Caddock and Dan Weatherhill.
Meeting started at 8:00 pm with Mike reading the Minutes which were accepted.
Mike gave Treasurer's report as this was Joe's first meeting back. A new shed lock was purchased for $13.73. Also, $440.00 was used for the ADO Cricket shoot. The League has paid form Monica Williams and Dave Turner to go to the State ADO Tourney. Tom Horn and Nesi Seidl have paid their own way to go to this same tourney.
Our last shoot for this session is on Dec 4th. Our Midyear is on Jan. 6th with Winter League starting on January 8th.
The caretakers of the VFW have had damage to the beautiful downstairs room. VFW #2 has been cited with breaking the handle on the refrigerator due to shoving tables against it. They are also leaving the room a mess. This is inexcusable. Also, other venues are complaining, again, that tipping is often forgotten. Please remember to tip even if you only order water, coffee or pop. Thank you.
There was a general complaint from the League that not all people were contacted about the ADO shoot.
Valley Fields' team is now playing out of the Emerald Q in 1st Division.
Personal Remarks:
Phil Teem - Why are there no 3rd place plaques? League feels it is too
expensive.
Brad McIntyre - Do we have a date for the Moe Crook? This date is not set
but will be after the Midyear. Val said she would like to cater the
Midyear. Board will stay with caterer we now have.
Sandi Sprigg - Sandi gave Joe a lost of info for the Treasury. Those who
are not darting this time are R. Wallen, Ron Mason and Chris Harper. Sandi
will call the VFW about the condition of the downstairs. She also
mentioned that Nesi needs a new answering machine for League use. Joe
Martin will research and get one.
Lynn McClelland - It is not written in the rules that a dropped dart is a throw.
Common sense will let you know if it was human error or a throw.
Joe Martin - Should team #16 get the 2 points back? No, per the Board.
Brad will call them on this. Joe also recommended a rule change.
Rule 3-F will read to include "Email" as a form of reporting your games.
He also reported that the Banquet contract has been sent.
Rhea Thomas - The DPNC money has been given to them. Rhea will contact
both Donald Weatherall and Dean Caddick to see if they are coming to the next
meeting as Coordinators.
Next meeting is Monday, 12/11 @ 8:00 pm at the VFW. Bring a dish to pass.
On Jan 3 is the pickup date for the Winter League packets. It will be at Joe's. The cut-off date for teams to sign up for the Winter session is Dec. 27.
Meeting ended at 9:55 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, Secretary
Meeting was called to order at 8:00 pm
Those in attendance were: Phil Teem, Mike Burdett, Mike Evans, Mary Ann Schick, Cheryl & Brad McIntyre, Dean Caddick and Rhea Thomas.
No Treasurer's report as Joe is still up north. Money that has come in has been taken care of appropriately.
This year's Midyear will be out 20th anniversary. Our first one was in 1981. This is a special year for us as the ADO is only 25 years old. Mike would like to huge a cake made to celebrate this special event.
On 10/7/00 there will be a Cricket shoot at the Pontiac VFW. Mary Ann and Rhea called as many darters as possible using an old phone list and the short time allotted to do the calling.
Mike Burdett made a motion that the Emerald Q #1 team will stay out and begin on the first position night (10/23/00). Everyone who plays this team prior to this position night will get 17 points only. Phil Team seconded this motion. The Board voted unanimous.
Brad requested, at the urging of someone else that the 4 man game (in 4th Division) be played first so the team could warm up.
Cheryl had nothing to add.
Mary Ann brought up the 5 minute rule in the 5th Division portion of our rules. It was discussed and noted that it only applies to the 5th Division. Fourth Division may not use this rule.
Phil wanted to know why 4th Division's last game is worth only 3 points when every other Division's last game is worth 4 points? The answer was that all Divisions have an uneven amount of total points at this time. This is by design. The point system will remain the same as it has been.
Rhea questioned if the money was sent to the Drayton Plains Nature Center for copies from last years minutes. She will Email Joe.
The Member Cards will be handled by Joe.
The 10/07/00 Cricket shoot will have a registration fee of $15.00. It will be a round robin format. One woman and one man will be sent to the Regionals. Regionals will be held on 11/3, 4. The Cricket shoot at VFW will have chili, burgers and the like for the enjoyment of all who come.
The meeting closed at 9:15. Next month's meeting will be on November 1 at 8:00 pm.
Present: Brad & Cheryl McIntyre, Mike Williams, Mary Ann Schick, Joe & Sher Martin, Mike Burdett and Rhea Thomas.

Treasurer's Report read and accepted.
All Star shoot had 10 participants. Female winner was Deb McQuillan. Male winner was Marc Bernadotte. Runners up were Keith Stanko and Nesi Seidl. All these people will be accepted in the ADO shoot. The League will pay for the winners.
The End of the Year Banquet will be serving prime rib this year. Right now we have @ 60 people coming. We can get up to a $150 rebate from the hall. This is one dollar per person. Sixty people = $60 rebate. Guests will have to pay at least $13 due to the fact that we are now having prime rib.
Brad: Why do we advertise soft dart league in our newsletter/stats? Because we have darters who are interested in both sides of the darting world.
Mike Williams: He can get Nodor dart boards with shipping and handling for $25-26 a board. He has to buy in increments of 4. The League will order 16. As a League we need 12. The other four will be sold on a first come first serve basis for $35.00 each.
Mary Ann: When will the sportsmanship award be put up for a vote? You will see it on the ballot at the end of the Year Banquet.
Cheryl: Has banquet supplies for use at any of our functions. She also has a large coffee maker to donate to the League.
Sher: Nothing to add except her smile.
Joe: Next years schedule taken care of. On 8/14 will be League set up. On 9/10 packets will be put together. On 9/11 Captains can pick up their packets with the first night of shooting being on 9/18. Joe and Sher Martin will be north for the summer starting in May.
Rhea: Thank you to the Board for moving the Board meeting to 8:00 pm on the first Wednesday of the month. My new job made it difficult to get to the meetings on time. Gee - they need me.
Phil Teem is now willing to stay on as Rules Chairman as they have a phone. This position as well as all others are all open to other nominations and will be voted on at the Banquet.
We will be honoring Al Halley at the Banquet with a plaque and free dinner for him and his wife. This was unanimously voted on.
Next meeting is May 3 at 8:00 pm at the VFW.

3/9/00 Emergency Board Meeting
Board members present: Mary Ann Schick, Rhea Thomas, Sher Martin, Joe Martin, Mike Burdett, Phil Teem, Brenda Teem, Cheryl & Brad McIntyre.
Purpose: Emerald Q's complaint about the Auburn Bar.
Guests: ??, ?? and 3 others from Auburn Bar.
?? spoke first:
1. Due to his language he has been banned from the BW bar.
2. He protested the letter sent to him by the Board.
3. He said he did not use profanity and was not belligerent.
4. He apologized to the ladies (?? the bartender) - she accepted his apology.
5. He has legal action ready if necessary.
Mike referred to the Sportsman like part in our rules.
?? the bartender spoke next:
1. Says she witnessed the profanity and unsportsmanlike conduct.
2. She called the police on ??
?? spoke next:
1. Referred to a phone conversation with ?? in which ?? threatened
?? and ??. Said he would shoot them.
?? agreed that the threat was made.
Board met alone. Decided that we as a Board would not keep ?? out of the League. His and ??'s issues were of a personal nature, not a Board nature. It would be up to ?? as to whether ?? would be on their team, not the Boards. This issue was concluded.
We then discussed the issue following. The day manager, Sandi at BW3's bar contacted us about liquor bottles being illegally brought in by our Steel Tip Darters and thrown on the floor. Mike talked to the bar owners. All open beverages such as pop will be checked for alcohol.
Another issue was discussed. Joe Martin received an Email from Emerald-Q (Fabian) that ?? took a glass of liquor from the bar and the team never tips anyone. Joe Emailed them back.
The Bar round is at the discretion of the bar. Only one drink per darter for the bar round. This was really only to be for the visiting team. Even if the drink is free you have to tip the waitress. If you don't we will have no waitress, then no open bar, then no darts.
A letter to ?? stating that she must do restitution to the bar for her actions to the manager will be sent. Her actions will jeopardize the involvement of our League participation in the future.
The meeting closed at 9:00.
Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, Secretary

coming from the Auburn Bar. Sandi said she would talk to Fred Allos of the
