II. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES The President read the minutes from the last meeting and they were approved.
III. OFFICERS REPORT A. Presidents Report - The President discussed the status of the raffle tickets and the donations ($400). She indicated that board members would be reaching out to those parents or guardians who have not submitted the donation of $400 to help offset the cost of the season. Additional tickets for the raffle were ordered for those wanting additional tickets. Additional time was given to those who have not submitted the $400. The drawing for the TV will take place on June 5 th at the Booster Club Meeting so all tickets must be turned in prior to that date. - Notified the members that a parent has opened a Shutterfly account and has pictures of the boys lacrosse team. B. Vice Presidents Report - Nothing to report at this time C. Treasurers Report - The Treasurer reported that she is opening up a new bank account at Walden Bank once the club is incorporated. This will save the club $8.00 per month since Walden Bank offers free checking. D. Secretarys Report - The Facebook page will be updated with all of the new information and the website will have a link directing people to Facebook so we arent duplicating efforts. There is no requirement to have a Facebook page to access the Facebook page. - Requested that two parents volunteer to text the Secretary the results of the games so they can be posted on the Facebook page. One parent from the girls team volunteered and one parent from the boys team volunteered.
IV. COMMITTEE REPORTS: A. Rudolf Rumble Tournament The event will take place on December 27 th . B. Car Show The committee chair for this event is Matt Korycki and he provided the following update. The show will take place on June 8 th in front of Burton Chevrolet in Newburgh (across from Target). The rain date is June 14 th (Fathers Day). Moorehead Honda is providing $1500 for marketing. He is working with Orange County Choppers to see if they will sponsor the event, set up a booth, and possibly donate some items from their caf. Matt is going to get the event on the major Car Show calendars now to hold the slot. An email will go out asking for volunteers to assist with parking and setup/tear down. A committee meeting will be held next week. C. July Fourth The President said that the Town of Cornwall is willing to let us keep the food booth every year at the July 4 th bash, but she wants to find a person or persons to chair the event now, or let the town know that we dont want the booth. The event is an easy event because the town provides the tents and tables and will order the rolls and meat. The club has to purchase paper products and condiments. Beverages are sold at another booth. It was decided that an email will go out to see if any members are interested in chairing or co-chairing the event because everyone at the meeting agreed that we should try and keep the booth. D. 5K Run Dave Corey proposed that we host a fall tournament at NYMA. During this discussion several members voiced that we should cancel the run and host the tournament instead since its more geared toward the players. Dave is going to bring in proposed dates at the next meeting and a vote will take place about the tournament, and the status of the run. E. Apparel Committee: Cathy Korycki announced that the apparel committee is going to be selling boat jackets ($100) and duffel bags ($75) with the Cornwall Lacrosse Logo on them. She asked that this information be provided to the parents/guardians of the lacrosse players. The information will be sent out in an email and posted on the clubs Facebook page.
V. OLD BUSINESS: A. The President contacted Nicky Polanco of the Chesapeake Bayhawks about coming to a fundraiser and it was agreed that the best time would be during a tournament, specifically the Rudolf Rumble. Now that we may host a fall tournament, we will re-look which tournament will be more appropriate.
B. Rich Gaillard mentioned that the CYLL will be donating $1500 to the booster club.
VI. NEW BUSINESS: Dave Corey proposed that we have a fall tournament at NYMA. He said the NYMA has already given him the go ahead and he said he would chair the event. Dave is going to look into the dates and provide a more detailed proposal at the June 5 th meeting at which time the board will vote on the proposal.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:15 PM.
