11/5/08

The meeting started at 7:35 with these people in attendance: Rich & Lynn McClelland, Sher and Joe Martin, Mary Ann Schick, Rhea Thomas and a quick report from Vickie Weber (she was really working at Airway:)

The Minutes were read and accepted.

Shirts - Vickie gave her Youth League report.  They are ordering shirts, etc. although no one has ordered any yet.  The Youth League is doing great!!

Midyear - Sue Teller from Dad's Deli of Airway Lanes came to explain their catering menu to us.  After some discussion it was decided to get BBQ and Marsala Chicken, Beef, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Mostaccioli and carrot cake for the Mid Year Banquet.  This food at the banquet is free to members and past members but there is a $13.00 charge for guests.  We put in our order with Dad's Deli and gave a deposit.

We will raffle off a $75.00 Best Buy gift certificate, a $57.00 dart League membership, a $45.00 dart accessory gift certificate (Mike Williams) and a dart board or $35.00 dart accessory gift certificate (also Mike Williams).

Joe's Treasurer's report:  We purchased a trailer and tagged it.  The Treasurer's report was accepted.

Trailer - We have purchased a storage trailer for the dart boards, etc. and it resides in Samantha Heikkeila's back yard.  Rich has a set of keys for the trailer and so does Sam.  After she has the trailer in her yard for one year the Board will give Sam, or pay for her to play darts on the Youth League.  This will be $36.00.  The trailer is registered to NODA.  Upon putting the boards in the trailer it was noticed that 3 of our stands need some serious repair ASAP.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, November 2nd at 7:30 - please notice the change of meeting day and time - at Mary Ann Schick's home.  Bring a dish to pass if you will be attending.

Respectfully submitted,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

Speed Up
It was discussed at the Captains Meeting, held on 10/8, about the Monday nights play lasting too long.
"Starting early" was approved.  If you would like to start playing a match earlier than 7:30 you must contact the opposing team and make the suggestion. If the opposing team agrees to the early start then you may do so.

Last year we removed the old Rule 10-D to allow players to play in more than 4 consecutive games.  If a player has to leave early for some reason, it is ok to play his required games early in the evening and then leave.

Rule 10-E & Rule 10-F address speeding up the nights play.

Captains Meeting

Those present were: Joe & Sher Martin, Rich, Lynn & Floyd McClelland, Steve Barchus, Chuck Rivet, Mike Burdett, Vickie Weber, Don Paton, Scott Burgess, Ruben Flores, Dave Merz, John Rumney, Jon Ormiston, Steve Pincombe, Mike Williams, Jaime Felicie, Mary Ann Schick and Rhea Thomas.

The Treasurer's report was read and accepted.  We are still looking for a trailer for our boards and equipment storage.  We can spend no more than $1,500.00.

Sportsmanship - We had an incident at the Cricket Shoot where the conduct of one of our League members was less than acceptable.  Our behavior needs to be respectful when representing our League and being allowed to shoot at a public place such as the bars that are our Venues.

--- Thank You, Vickie, for the previous Minutes ---

Mike Burdett and Rich McClelland will have a Shoot Off (President against Ex-President) for $50.00.  Should be fun to watch!!

There was discussion about starting darts earlier in the evening.  It was decided that this can be done, if and only if the other team agrees.  It would also save time during the Monday night shoot if both teams filled out the entire sheet's names in full at the beginning of the night.

Dart Board Installations - The League inquired if all the boards were right at all the Venues.  As the job was given to Mike Williams, his answer was "No".  Not all of the boards have been checked.

Shirts - Vickie gave the Youth League Report.  They plan on having new shirts, sweat shirts, etc. this year.  The profit from the sales goes to the Youth League.  The Adult League will pay more for the shirts etc. than the youths to help boost the Youth Treasury.  Vickie requested and encouraged everyone to come watch the kids play on Saturday.  The Youth League may soon have their own League Board of Trustees.

No one showed up to argue the -2 points taken from the team deducted from in last weeks stats.

The meeting ended at 8:20.

The next meeting will be at Airway Lanes at 7:30 on 11/5/08

As Secretary I will infrequently be able to make a 7:30 start of a meeting on a Wednesday night due to my work schedule.  I will need someone to begin minutes for me or have someone take over the position of Secretary, whatever the Board agrees upon.

Sincerely,
Rhea Thomas, NODA Secretary

Advancement of Teams - Lynn suggested that Rule 15-B (the advancement of teams who finalize their Fall Season in 1st place to the next higher division in Winter) should also include the same type advancement from Winter to Fall.  Joe will re-word this proposal.  It will be tabled until he has done this.

Packets were put together to be distributed at the Captains Meeting tomorrow night.

Joe will be buying both Fall and Winter plaques to get the quantity price break.

The old Stearly's of Airway Lanes is now Dad's Deli.  They do catering like Stearly's did.

Trailer - We are still looking for a trailer to hold the boards, etc.  We were looking in the $1200 range but have now uped the price to $1500.

6/4/08

The meeting began at 7:30 with these persons in attendance: Rich and Lynn McClelland, Vickie Weber, Mary Ann Schick, Ruben Flores, Joe Martin, Michael Abbott and Steve Pincombe.  Rhea arrived at 8:00 pm.

Congratulations were relayed to our new President and Vice President.

Joe gave a Treasurer's report.  He gave a summary and there was talk about spending and payouts.  The report was accepted by all there.

Trailer - We talked about getting a trailer for the dart boards and supplies.  The size should be 8 x 12 with no leaks and cost around $1250.  Michael Abbott will call the Oakland Press.  If we should find one, call Rich with the details.  This all passed with the entire Board's approval.

The idea of cutting out postage as well as increasing the dues for the Youth League and for Tournaments was discussed.  Periodic donations to the Youth League could be made.

Please think of different things for the League to get involved in or do.

ADO Rep - It was asked what the duties of an ADO Rep. is and where are the Tournaments held.  Other ADO are asking about getting a Tournament together.  At the next meeting we should have a list of ADO duties to talk about.  The ADO Tournaments are the 2nd largest and require a lot of manpower for set up.  We will look into having one at the end of August (17th or 24th).  We could have someone sponsor a room for the Tournament and advertise for them for a cost of $350.00.  This will help in the monetary needs for putting on the Tournament.

Division Coordinators were discussed.  Ruben will be for 1st Division: Mary Ann for 2nd Division: and (for now) Vickie for 3rd Division.

The next meeting will be on August 3rd at 12:00 at the McClellands.  Please bring a dish to pass.

The meeting ended at 8:21.
