and invite all coaches to attend to they can hear what they need to be doing and discuss ways to implement

this.

Ways to Increase meeting attendance

Try and bring one new person to the meeting in September.  Also, start thinking of other ways to get people involved and

coming to the meetings.

Todd Grandstaff – Team Photos

Girl’s softball team photos were taken the week that they were due to the yearbook.  Many of the girls on the

teams were not able to make the pictures.  For the 3^rd & 4^th grade girls, the pictures were taken

during a lightning storm.  Many angry parents.  Is there any reason that the photo sessions can not be?

scheduled in the beginning of the season?

Per Todd Westendorf – in ’09 this same thing came up, it is the responsibility of each Commissioner to set up the

times for the pictures.  It was recommended last year that the commissioners contact Lisa a week before your season started practice to set up times and places for the pictures to be taken.  Commissioners to please make note of this for the

upcoming seasons.
