OLD BUSINESS- Bob Fontaine led a discussion about our
Outdoor/JO meet in June. There will be planning meetings before our meets from now
on. He discussed the necessity of better numbers of officials, a more ready computer
system for entries and possible pre-entry.
Our annual meeting is now in October. Votes will be taken
on our by-laws, budget and delegates to the national convention.
NEW BUSINESS- Bob Fontaine informed the board that the
national USATF board of directors recently increased the annual membership fees.
They set a standard of $19.95 for youth and $29.95 for adults. There is a multiple
year discount for the adults. The cost for youth seemed very high to us. Much discussion
followed. Different suggestions were talked about including possibly not charging
youth for our meets. Any decisions will come at a later date.
The 06-07 annual budget proposal was available. It will
be voted on at our next meeting.
