Minutes of April 13, 2003

Call to Order: Marty Cohen called the meeting to order at 8:00 pm.

Advertisers: The following MCSL Handbook advertisers gave presentations to the membership:

Jerry Frishman Photography

Progressive Apparel

Please support our advertisers. Their support helps us fund our programs.

Treasurer’s report: In Jim Garner’s absence, Sally MacKenzie collected dues payments. If you still need to pay your dues, please mail them to Jim immediately. His address is at the top of your billing statement. If you have questions, please contact Jim.

New team: On the board’s recommendation, the membership voted Washingtonian Woods into the league, thereby completing “O” division.

Web: If you have filled a coaching position that is advertised on the web, please let Bob Hincke know (web@mcsl.org). All the team information on the web is updated; please check it carefully, especially email addresses.

Automation: If you need a new copy of Meet Manager, contact Mike Lincoln. Mike will notify Hy-Tek of our new teams as soon as he finishes the handbook production. Dates and times for automation clinics are on the web. Clinic attendees should bring laptops with software installed. Clinics last for about 3 hours.

Handbook: Handbooks will be distributed in May to teams who have paid their dues.

Forms: Forms (DQ cards, take-off cards, etc.) are available for download from the web. MCSL will supply teams with relay cards at the June meeting.

Officials’ Clinics: Some of the clinic dates have been set. The clinic for people who are already certified, experienced referees is Thursday, May 29 at 7pm. No one who is not already certified as a referee will be able to attend this clinic. Anyone who is certified but not very confident in this role may also want to attend a full service clinic instead. The full clinics are Sunday, June 1 and Sunday, June 8, both at 8am. Another full clinic and a stroke and turn only clinic are still to be scheduled. Clinics last for approximately 3 hours—please be sure people attending are aware of that time commitment.

“B” meets: Order forms for “B” meet ribbons, finisher ribbons, and personal best ribbons are available from Tracey Glass. Teams trying to round out their “B” meet schedules can contact Mike Kelley (mentor@mcsl.org).

Six Flags: Tracey Glass will again be coordinating the MCSL day at Six Flags’. She has order forms—all payments must be by team, not personal, check. Make the check out to Six Flags.

Divisional meets: Linda Raab discussed some topics to keep in mind when deciding which teams in a division should host relays and the division championship. The teams then broke into divisions and decided on division job assignments.

Next Meeting: The next meeting will be held at the Executive Office Building cafeteria on Thursday, May 8, 2003, 8:00 pm. This is the meeting where teams receive their handbooks and awards, provided their dues have been paid. Please be sure that someone comes to pick up your materials.

Respectfully submitted,

Sally MacKenzie

Secretary
