Those present - Lynn McClelland, Joe & Sher Martin, Ruben Flores, Sandi Quaine, Vickie Weber, MaryAnn Schick.
Rhea Thomas excused due to out of the country.

Treasurers Report - Read and accepted.

Youth League-
Money from back board still owed from Chris Gavette. Vickie Weber also has a board from the league, was that board going to be given to her for running the youth league???????
New rules being added to the youth league pertaining to siblings being brought. Safety issues were being addressed during the season. The board members will receive a copy once they are re-written. The tournament and banquet went great over 40 people showed for youth league. 

ADO
Mike Abbott is still a possibility for for our ADO Rep. Mike Abbott and Jimmy Smith discussed with Ruben at banquet new ideas for the ADO qualifier.
Should we add in that players who qualify for ADO events that we pay for have to reimburse the NODA for failing to show up?? This was brought up as we had it happen.

We may possibly have some new teams joining the NODA from the Milford area.

2nd night of league was brought up as a free benefit to the players of the NODA. There was great concern from the majority of the board that this would greatly affect our Monday night attendance, therefore it was voted that at this time it needs more planning and guidelines and maybe in the future it would work.

Next meeting will be at Tommy T's on our sign up night. That is August 13th.

Meeting called @ 9:25

Respectfully Submitted,

Vickie (fill in secretary for the night since Rhea was out of the country)

The meeting started at 8:04 at Tommy T's bar with these persons in attendance:  Ruben Flores, Sandi and Doug Quaine, Lynn and Rich McClelland, Vicki Weber, Mary Ann Schick, Rhea Thomas and Tommy T!

Joe Martin was excused.

Minutes from the last meeting were accepted at read.

Treasurer's report was accepted.

Youth league report-Vicki Weber

The league is growing!  Another 10 have joined.  The parents like the way it is running.  The plan is to have a once a month face off (no adults) during the summer.  There are currently 28 trophies in reserve.  Vicki would like to give a trophy for their luck of the draw which would be tallied on a point system.  Their season ends on 5/12/07 which will be their banquet.  The adult league has voted to give Vicki $200.- to a max of $300. For the trophies and banquet needs.  Also, the adult league will pay for the t-shirt and jacket set up fee for printing.  The orders will be open to the adult league also!

Lynn would like to see the sportsmanship award reinstated.  We could possibly put it on the nomination ballet.

Ruben reported that the ADO shoot has been rescheduled for 4/7/07 .  The board voted down a $60.00 pay out for the Lutz tourney.

Some venues are not holding up to their responsibilities.  Through much discussion, it was suggested to give the venues a responsibility contract or checklist.  Tommy T would like to see better trophies for recognition for the teams.  He feels the plaques with computer generated certificates is somewhat a slap in the face and do nothing exciting for the bar owner and his establishment.

After much discussion, the idea of giving just the computer generated certificate, no wooden plaque, to the winners, would save us a sizable amount of $.  This way we could increase the trophy for the bars.  Most players do not care if they get a plaque.

Another idea is to poll the players to see if they want a plaque if they win and we could plan for it.  This should be done at the beginning of the Fall/Winter season.

The senior board will step up to bat to check the venues to see if they are following league rules and to answer any questions about how we run the league.  The date will be settled after the meeting.  

Our coordinators are: 1st div. Mary Ann Schick
                                    2nd div. Lynn McClelland
                                    3rd div   Sandi Quaine

Rhea suggested that we have at hand the chronological dates of what is happening thru out the year.  This may avoid making double dates and separating the leagues in different directions.

The meeting ended at 10pm .  

Sincerely,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary
Have a great day!

  The treasurer's report was accepted as presented.

  Youth league report-Vicki Weber
    The league is doing very well.  They now have 6 teams with more involvement upcoming.  They will be able to have 2 divisions of 5 teams each.  The youth would like shirts or jackets to promote there league.
     Also, a college scholarship of $50.00 or so was thought of.  Upon implementation, we would let it grow while we rethink the specifics of this idea.
     The banquet for the youth should be about $5.00 or $6.00 a youth.

It has been requested that the sportsmanship award be brought back to be given back at the end of the year banquet.  The board decided the go through the criteria for this award over the summer for implementation next year.

The '01 all star shoot will be on either 3/10 or 11, or 3/24 or 25 at American Legion.  All depends on availability.  The board agreed on these dates as acceptable.

The ADO would like us to host a sub-regional here.  We decided to table this idea until the ADO contacts us and we can talk to them as how to run such an event.

Ruben spoke of a fall expansion to the Highland and Troy areas.  Also Randy Whalen from 1st division will be on the board.

Ruben also reported the bars want 1st and possibly 2nd place trophies/plaques displayed at their bars.  We spoke of the security of the trophies in the bars, (remembering the disappearance of the Moe Crook trophy).

The meeting ended at 9:25 with the next meeting scheduled for 3/7/07 at Tommy T's.

The treasurer report was ok'd  

The minutes from the last meeting were ok'd.  The invite letter for the venders was read and ok'd.

Youth league report:  Vicki Weber- enough trophies were donated to the league for about three years of use.  The adult league was asked to donate the engraving of these trophies.  This was passed unanimously

The final play for this league is Dec. 16th.  Vicki would like as many of us to come as possible to show our support.

The adult league will support the youth league by authorizing a $150.00 limit for the youth league banquet with the funds coming from the adult  treasury. 

There was a reminder to follow the chain of command found in rule 5-6a.  Please call your division coordinator first with any problems.  Also have a meeting with your team as to the proper chalking technique.  This is rule  2-f.  Also it is imperative that good conduct is followed by all.  No swearing, table dancing, or other inappropriate behavior will be tolerated.

We want to reorganize our rules per the ado style so Ruben will contact Lynn about doing this.

The adults from the youth league will be asked to play in the Mo Crook.  Four people are needed to play. They should not be in our adult league.

Paint Creek Tavern out of Rochester has one board and two teams they would like to sponsor.  This would increase our league total of people.  Sandi will handle this.

There was some discussion on div. Coordinators.  Until we find a 1st div. Coordinator, Chris Gavette will field the calls in the interim.

The meeting ended at 9:45   the next meeting will be at Mary Ann's on Dec.6, 2006 at 8pm

Youth League Report - Vickie Weber

Vicki had a report written for all at the meeting.  The Youth League had to change venues due to concerns that Joe from the Game Station had.  Vicki and Jeff Chapel, Ruben and Sandi had 2 meetings with the Game Station and decided to take the boards and our business from Game Station.  The new venue is Airway Lanes.  Airway has usable boards so the League now has 3 dart boards for sale.

On the up side, the kids are having fun, as are their adult partners.  The youths are doubling out well, know the proper rules and challenge each other often to games for practice.  They are very competitive.  They will have their banquet on 12/16/06.

It was suggested that we form a committee for rules like the ADO, possibly with Lynn McClelland as the head.  This committee would reorganize our rules similar to the way the ADO rules are set up.

We have three person to send to the ADO Regional - Mike Abbott, Jimmy Smith and Jill Petroski.  We will only send 2 as our budget will not allow any extra monies at this time.  We sent all three.

The Board approved the addition of Phil Teem to Travis Murdock's team.  Travis may loose 2 members due to commitments.  Travis is one of the two.

The Mo Crook for the 3rd Division will be on December 2, 2006 at the Auburn Bar.  Chris Gavette is 3rd Division coordinator and should lead the event.

It was brought up that we should have a venue appreciation tournament. The specifics have not been ironed out yet.  We will vote on this function and what month it should be held at the Mid Year to see the interest level with the League.

MIDYEAR  Banquet

This year we again will have it at Airway.  We hope for happy hour prices on drinks.  Sandi will talk to Frank about this.  We also planned the food.  It will consist of ribs, chicken, red skin potatoes, green beans, salad, rolls and carrot cake.  Non members will pay a reduced rate of $10.00.  The Board voted unanimously on the plans for the Mid Year.

The Tournament play for the Banquet will be as follows: 1st 2 tourneys before dinner, dinner (around 6) then the luck of the draw (with $100.00 added to the pot from the League.)

Attendance was: Sandi DeFelice, Joe & Sher Martin, Lynn McClelland, Walt Paton, Mary Ann Schick and Rhea Thomas.  The meeting was held at Mary Ann Schick's house.

The Minutes were read and accepted.  The Treasurer's report was read and accepted.

The decision was made to have the Mid Year Banquet at Airway Lanes.  Dinner will consist of Meatballs, Green Beans, Augratin potatoes and Carrot cake.  We will reserve space and food for about 60 persons.  There will not be an open bar but the bar may have Happy Hour prices.  The Mid Year Banquet will be on January 8, 2005.

Our last week for Fall Play is December 6, 2004.

Lynn brought up a problem with John Morris' team.  One of their players, Lacey, will come to watch without playing.  This is against the rules that state each player present must play at least 3 games during that night of play.

*Thought of the Secretary: Should we have each team member sign the last page to prove who was there?*

The End of the Year Banquet will be on May 14, 2005.  Location will be at Airway Lanes.

Looking ahead to next years calendar, it was noted that Halloween falls on a Monday in 2005.  With many of our members having young children, this may be a problem.

Our next meeting will again be hosted by Mary Ann Schick at her home on November 14, 2004 at 7 pm.

Sincerely, Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

Mary Ann suggested everyone bring a dish to pass like we do for the Mid Year Banquet. This will help defray cost. Ideas tabled until concrete information attained.

Darts will cost $57.00 for the year. One season will be $36.00.

The next meeting will be at VFW at 8 pm on September 1, 2004.

We need to find out when the Motor City Tournament is so we can plan on having a great NODA showing.

The minutes and Treasurer's report was accepted as read.

The Barnetts came to discuss an error in the stats of 3 weeks ago.  The Mary Ann/Marianne names were misspelled.  The game was given to the wrong person and thus points were taken for too many games played.  The stat sheets were signed and therefore stand as correct.  The Barnetts only concern were the personal stats.  As it would be a minor change, everyone decided to leave the signed sheet stand as correct.

Marianne Barnett is the new Captain of the VFW team.

Nesi will not be a division coordinator next year and next week the League answering machine will be off line.

The Meeting started at 8:00 p.m. with Mike personally thanking all the Board that helped make the Midyear Banquet a success.

The Minutes were read and accepted.

The Treasurer's report was read and accepted. Joe bought a roaster for the League.

Scott (Whoop) Carney requested the use of League property to have a luck of the draw at Rumors on February 23, 2002.  The NODA Board agreed that this could be done as long as a property release statement was signed.  This statement would include all items borrowed and the conditions connected with this responsibility.  Rhea will oraganize this paperwork and Email it to Sandi for Scott to sign.

Sandi stated that Drew Percket wants an inter-league tournament.  This possibility will be checked out via Sandi and/or Jeff.

The All-Star deadline is 4/13/03.  We aould like to send our best and as many as possible.  The money to send the best is always an issue.  It costs $110. per player for the All-Star shoot.  We may possibly increase the League's fees by $3.00 for everyone to be eligible for this shoot.  This would allow the entrance fee for each individual to decrease from $15.00 to about $5.00.  This could not be put into effect until next season.

The Moe Crook (for 3rd Division only) will be on 3/23/03, Sunday at the VFW.  The Tournament will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Nesi requested that the answering machine be disconnected as it has not been used in over 8 months.  The Board agreed.  Also, she asked about a sub for her team.  It is not too late to add a new player but the player that must leave does not get any money back.

The Meeting ended at 9:15 p.m.

The Meeting opened at 8:00 p.m. with these people in attendance: Joe Martin, Mike Burdett, Jeff Lewis, Mary Ann Schick, Lynn & Floyd McClelland, Nesi Seidl, Sandi Sprigg, Dean Caddick and Rhea Thomas.

The Minutes of the last NODA Meeting were accepted as read. 

The Treasurer's Report was accepted as read. 

Mike brought up the fact that the MDO is not having any tournaments this year. Maybe this would be an opportunity for the NODA to have a tournament of our own. Some positive discussion followed concerning this possibility.

Dean Caddick came to plead his case about losing 4 points in a match play. Points were deducted because the sheets turned in to Joe indicated that Dave played 7, not 6 games in the match. This is against NODA rules. Dean physically played one of these games. Dean said it was just a name error on the sheet. The McClellands said they did not know who played the game. They were the opposition. The debate continued for some time with this end result.  NODA Rules state that you cannot play more than 6 games in a match. The papers that Joe received indicated that Dave played 7 games. Thus the 4 points were taken away.

Jeff spoke at length about the NODA having a tournament. He feels that this prospect will help support other dart leagues and help unite these many leagues. On November 23, 2002 at Moriarty's Pub in Lansing there will be such a tournament.

Mike would like all to think of unique things to raffle off at the Mid Year Banquet.

We must Email or Fax our score sheets to Joe on the 18th and 25th of November. He will not be home.

Cheryl has 4 Front Pages made up.

The Meeting ended at 9:35 p.m.

Mike Burdett gave the Treasurer's report.

The Minutes from the August meeting were accepted as read.

Joe should be returning for the next meeting at which time the Board would like to plan a budget for the year including the need for a Rainy Day Fund. This would be used to make repairs to our boards, etc.

Nesi Seidl came for part of the meeting as she was playing Soft Tip darts on a League at the VFW. We will keep the answering machine hooked up at her home as we have new cards made up with that number on it. Nesi also may have two more players on her NODA team soon. 

Sunday's Cricket Shoot only had eleven (11) people in attendance.  We need 20 to send both a man and woman to Regionals. Each person put in an additional $5 to make this happen. A Round Robin format was used which made each player play 30 games of Cricket.  The winners for the women were: Deb McQuillan with Dee Smith an alternate.  Brian Snyder won for the men and his alternate is Jeff Lewis. 

Mike asked Brad to tell Cheryl that the front page is on hold for now.  Brad said he would. 

The Board decided that we have a good repose with the Knights of Columbus. The rental is high but we do get some benefits.  We are still open for suggestions.  The Fall season ends on December 16, 2002 and the Winter season ends on April 14, 2003.  Our Mid Year Banquet will be on January 11, 2003.  We are to bring a dish to pass and the League will provide meatballs and BBQ wings.

Those excused were Mary Ann Schick and Joe Martin.

After a few minor corrections the minutes were accepted as read.

Treasurer report was given by Mike Burdett.  All outstanding bills are paid off.  We still need to order score sheets. The Treasurers report was accepted as reported.

Mike thanked the board for all there hard work at the year end banquet.  It is the smoothest the banquet has been.  Those there till the end found that the end was early—8pm!!  That was a nice change for all those who stayed to clean up!

Jeff Lewis was given the League Rules to look at during the summer as he is now our new Rules Chairman.

At our next meeting the board will go over the budget for next year.  We will need to allocate money for new stands and possibly get sponsor to advertise our league.

Board comments:

Sandi reminded all that Bo’s is having a luck of the draw on Monday’s at 7:30 during the summer.  Spread the word!  We need a dart bar in the area where one could go to find a game at most any given time.  Keep an eye out for one.

Rhea stated that score sheets cost $1.52 each the last time we ordered them.

Nesi wanted to know if we still wanted the answering machine at he house and are people still giving out the business cards?  After some discussion, the answer was yes on both accounts.

Cheryl inquired about having her job as photographer and front page editor.  The answer to this was---yes!

The meeting started at 8:04 with these people in attendance: Sandi Sprigg, Mary Ann Schick, Brad and Cheryl McIntyre, Ruben Flores, Mike Burdett and Rhea Thomas.

Excused: Joe Martin

Unexcused: Nesi Seidl

Because of Joe's absence it is noted that the Treasurers report is pending.

Tom Childers, an old Fall Player, wants to play the Lutz Curry Tourney. Is it appropriate to let him play as he is not a current player?

Milo, from Emerald-Q, did not protest the man who showed and did not play the Lutz. This goes against the rule which states that whoever shows must play at least 2 games.

Sandi Sprigg and Mike Burdett both advance in the Lutz Curry Tournament. Because of this the rest of the Board must pick up any slack in coordination at the end of the year Banquet.

Mike cannot run the Summer League. Bo's Brewery would like us there for the summer.

Sandi Sprigg stated that only Board members should handle any cash, 50/50, etc. at the Year End Banquet. We will be raising the price of beverages for this event.

Also, our annual fee for League play will be raised beginning this fall.

Items to be raffled off at the Banquet will be: Candles, Liquor Basket, Radio, and an Annual Membership.

Brad McIntyre would like the Eligibility of Officers clarification in the By-Laws to be verified by Joe. The only position in the By-Laws is the President. This should be discussed with Lynn and Nesi also. The rule should be changed to read that a person cannot become President until first being a Division Coordinator or Captain of a team. We will table this for further discussion. Rhea and Mary Ann motioned and it passed. Joe will be Emailed about this.

Cheryl mentioned that the League owed her for the Winter Newsletter. She was paid at this meeting. She also had a pen taken or misplaced at the Midyear. She would like it back. Cheryl motioned that an Appreciation Certificate be made to her Aunt for the bag she made for the League to carry photo albums in. The Board unanimously agreed to have this done for Norma Noblock. A certificate of acknowledgment will be sent out to Jeff Lewis for all his input into the Newsletter.

Ruben suggested that for next year's Lutz we should get the Bar that hosts that Tourney to pay a fee to us. He also asked a question that all Board members ask - Where are all the division coordinators that should be at this meeting? Good question, Ruben!!! And, thanks for keeping your promise to be at this meeting. Hope you make more.

The League may not play at the Ventura Lounge next year.

Setup for the End of the Year Banquet will be Saturday, May 11th at 9 a.m.

The Meeting closed at 10:00 p.m.

An alternative to the leagues All Star shoot was mentioned.  Those who want to go to this shoot would pay an extra $30 at the beginning of the season to go to the regional.  The stats would be checked from the season and we would send the best shooter from those who paid their money.

Sandi reported that she purchased 2 double rolls of raffle tickets for the Year End Banquet.

Sandi also mentioned that the Board should think about the possibility of another Summer League this year.

Joe reported the bank is the same. We paid for the new chalk boards.

Sandi reminded us that the Moe Crook Tournament is on March 24, 2002. The Rules for the Moe Crook are on our Web Site for all to read.

The treasury is the same as last month. Joe has 35 plaques and will order an additional 68. These will be used for the end of the year banquet.

Our website has been upgraded to 150 mb.

Mike said thank you's to all the Board members for their help at the mid year banquet.

Rhea suggested that we get a Gordon food Service application for discounts. Also, she suggested looking into Pennywise at www.inkjets4unow.com for printer cartridges. Joe will look into it.

Mary Ann Schick would like the league to match the amount collected for the New York Fund from the members on our league. Money is tight right now so her idea, though a good one, was declined.

Mike reported that 5 more chalk boards were ordered from Mike Williams. Also, he mentioned again that plaques and envelopes are still needed from those who would like to donate them.

Joe did a financial audit of our books to find we are down financially from this time last year. Some reasons are:

    1. We are down a team from last year.
    2. Hall rental went up. We can't get American Legion due to a date conflict

We plan to wait till next season to have the score sheets printed. We will raise the beverage ticket price for the Year End Banquet. This increase will not include pop. We will decrease the catering amount promised to attend the Year End Banquet from 90 to 80 persons. We may have roast beef instead of prime rib at the banquet if we deem it necessary. Pay out for luck of the draw will be 3 places instead of 4. As a last resort we may have to increase players fees.

The End of the Year Banquet will be at the K of C Hall on May 11, 2002.

Dates to remember:
Fall Season begins 9/16/02 and ends 12/16/02

Sandi brought up the missing Lutz Curry trophy. Should another one be purchased? It was decided to bring this up at the End of the Year Banquet for consideration of the League. Maybe someone at the function will know where the missing one is.

Joe motioned that Section 5 of Article 4 be removed as it refers to nothing. Section 6 would be moved into position #5. The motion wat tabled until the first meeting in January so Lynn could do some checking into this for the Board. 

The packets for the Winter season will be put together at 7:30 on 12/26/01 at the VFW.

The MDO shoot costs per team. This is something we would like to participate in next year. Mike Burdett will call them to show we are interested and would like to receive timely information on it for next year. 

Everyone who comes to the Mid Year Banquet is to bring a dish to pass. Door prizes will be on the order of last year's line up. The stereo, a dart board, and a year membership. The Luck of the Draw will cost $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non members. The League will put in $200.00.

The meeting ended at 9:30. The next one will be on 1/2/02 at 8:00.

The language of Article 4, Section 3 of the By-Laws was changed to reflect the reality of its use. The change was voted on in the past but the wording never got changed to reflect this vote. All officers will serve a  one (1) year term. Terms can be extended per a popular vote as shown in Section 4 of the same Article. It is on the web for your reading pleasure.

The Board decided to pay Cheryl for the publishing of the first page at the end of each season, thus keeping bookwork down for the Board.

Some members have approached Cheryl requesting that the stat papers sent through the mail be taped instead of stapled. The stats are getting ruined upon opening with staples. Joe said he would try to tape. Let us know how it works!

The Board also allocated Cheryl money to purchase photo albums to house the many pictures she has taken for the League.

Joe requested an upgrade in our website. We now have a 50 mb site. For a small amount extra we can have a 150 mb site. The Board agreed that this was necessary.

Sandi made a suggestion to order Banquet prizes from a magazine called Muellers. Mike will look it over.

Lynn suggested we charge for team pictures like they do at bowling tournaments. This is an idea that needs looking into.

Cheryl shared the card she made for the Barnett family. She did a lovely job. The Barnetts called and told her this and the League agreed.

Mike Burdett has been approached about forming a Summer League. It would be a smaller League with 3 man teams allowing substitutes. It would start in June and go until the 1st of August (Approximately 9 weeks).

Joe still needs nominations for the Board. The response has been minimal.
