Liesl reminded the Board that Opening Day would be April 1. Requested feedback about having alternate picture days – April 3 and 5. It was the general consensus that picture days would be April 3 and 5.
Deanna advised the Board that she has been working with Brennan Klumb in relation to a window decal fundraiser. Also advised that there would be softball/baseball related tattoos in the concession stand to sell throughout the season.
Liesl reminded everyone that she needed the Board’s participation on Opening Day for the entire day. Rita advised that the first games would be scheduled around 10:00 am. Rebecca requested that Cub Scouts be allowed to participate in Opening Day by performing a flag ceremony.
Liesl advised that Board members needed to help Rebecca enforce the concession stand rules and that no children should be allowed in the concession stands, even to operate the score board or announce the game. Kids have been very rough with this equipment and it has to constantly be replaced. To alleviate this problem no one under the age of 16 will be allowed in the concession stand. In addition, Liesl reminded everyone to keep the office neat and to remember that we have sensitive information in the office and that no one should be allowed in the office unless a Board member is present.
Deanna advised that she had collected $2,550 in banner and team sponsorships and that she still needed to collect approximately $2,500.

Deanna advised that she would be attending a meeting for Poteet Strawberry Festival on March 10, 2006.
David S. advised that Dan Matocha would be willing to administer a pitching clinic and a coaching clinic before Opening Day, possibly March 25, or 26. Rita advised that Louie from Fast Pitch Academy might be able to do a pitching clinic at $10.00 each. Tammy recommended to try and get Tonya Goslin to do a clinic instead.
Liesl advised that the League would be waiving all late fees for the Junior and tee-ball divisions due to a shortage of players in these divisions.
Liesl advised that delinquent fees needed to start being collected.
Tammy advised of the coaching clinic she has attended and advised of the slight possibility that Michele Smith would hold a pitching clinic in Jourdanton in 2007.
