·        Review: Frank Reviewed minutes from previous meeting on 10/24.  Some topics covered were Tournament Books being returned, Ladies Auxiliary donations, promoting the website, beef & beverage fundraiser,  our districting and invoices that were paid to Little League.

·        Little League Letter: Frank advised that we received a letter from Little League stating that our charter would not be issued because we were on credit hold and had a non-compliance.  Both issues were addressed and taken care of.

·        Pictures: Frank advised that we will be adding a note (disclaimer) to our “uniform” form that lets a parent/guardian check a box if they do not want their child’s picture being used on the website or any promotional material.

·        Goucester Township Meeting: Frank advised that he attended the Gloucester Township meeting and there were discussions about improvements and getting them done to the fields and facilities.

·        District: Frank reviewed our status about changing from District 21 to 14.  He recently sent a detailed letter explaining why we wanted to move and the reasons.  We now are waiting for two recommendation letters from Joe Romanelli and Jerry Murphy which are required.  We are waiting to hear back from them.  Tim Gallagher noted that being in District 14 would require us to get involved in events that are being run specifically for the district (funraising, etc.).

·         No Report

·        General: Rich distributed previous meeting minutes, calendars, beef & beverage flyers, sponsorship applications & fall baseball flyers.  There was no mail to turn over

·        Joe reported league finances which pretty much remained the same from previous meeting.  Joe did confirm that all invoices for Little League were paid.  Joe also advised that we will be getting another check from the Ladies Auxiliary, which again, represents a big help to the league.

·        No Report

·        Fields:  Steve advised that he has been working on the fields and that they have all been seeded.  He also advised behind home plate and the pitching mounds at Fernwood & Whitebirch have all been dug out and seeded.  The last week in October Steve rented a pickup truck and along with himself, Rich, Frank, and Rick dropped yards of top soil on the areas and seeded. 

·        No Report

·        Mike reviewed that the raffle tickets for registrations are ordered and will be here in plenty of time. 

·        No Report

No Reports from division coordinators

·        Bylaws:  There will be a bylaw meeting on December 5^th at the Glendora VFW to discuss any changes or amendments we need to make.  Start time will be 8:00 PM.  All are welcome to attend and have their input heard.  This is everyone’s chance to have a say on how the league is being run.  This meeting we will decide what changes need to be made and then they will be voted on at a subsequent General Meeting.

·        Registrations:  Registration information was reviewed and discussed.  All information, dates, flyers, and forms are on the website (www.mygll.com).  The majority of the flyers that will go out to the schools have been made and put in packs of 25.  Thanks to Paul Merklein, Pam Mahoney, and Ceil Rinaldi for their help in making copies and putting in bundles.  I believe we need about 1,500 more and that will cover all schools.  It was decided that;

·        Flyer distribution to the schools will be January 3^rd, 2008.

·        Channel 19 will be the week of December 17^th and Christmas week.

·        Information has been submitted to come home on the school menu.

·        Information has been submitted and will be put in the Gloucester Township winter brochure flyer which should be out in the end of December or early January.

·        Rich will handle putting our flyer (hanging-up) in local establishments.  If anyone would like to do this also – the more places the better.

·        Voting Eligibility Status: Frank and Rich reviewed the guidelines for being eligible to vote.  The voting eligibility status goes back 6 months worth of meetings.  If you have attended  50% or better of the meetings the previous 6 months you are eligible to vote.  The voting eligibility information is listed in the meeting minutes and on the website.

·        Next Meeting: The agenda for the next meeting will be to discuss how we will spend money, opening day enhancements, beef-n-beverage fundraiser update.
