OLD BUSINESS

Marketing- After much discussion by those present, several ideas to promote our organization were decided on. Bob Fontaine will write an E-mail that will be sent to all of USATF/Ct. regarding our website info. An insert will be enclosed with everyone’s USATF renewal application and all officials renewal notices. Flyers will be handed out at the High School opens. It was decided to have refrigerator magnets made and they would be distributed at our indoor and outdoor meets. Also discussed was the need to develop an identity/benefit package. The possibility of having T-shirts printed with the organization name and website address will be looked into. These would be sold at meets and races. Press releases with our 2005 race and meet schedule would include our website address. Further ideas will be discussed at our next meeting.

Bob Fontaine reported that our outdoor meet would be combined with the JO’s and would take place on June 18th 2005.

 

NEW BUSINESS

Budget- Bob Fontaine distributed his proposed 2004-2005 budget. It is essentially the same as last year. Membership registration is up by 50 adults. Our outdoor championship meet will hopefully make $1200. Yvonne Grimes brought up the possibility of paying officials at our meets. Bob will include this expense in the final proposal.

Annual meeting- According to the by-laws the meeting has to take place the 2nd week of Nov. If Bob can’t make that date Vice President Yvonne Grimes will run the meeting so there will be no reason to change the date.
