Committee Reports
Potter Orr presented the Finance report and answered questions. Our profit was $35 for the fiscal year 2006. Potter explained changes in the accounting methods that reflected higher revenue of $22822. He explained that he shifted some of the expenses. The report was approved by the board.
Pat Dutson of Promotions Committee reviewed the survey in summary format. It was decided that there would be initially three areas of focus including: Facility (Debbi) , Unfriendly Competition,(Potter & Mike P.) and Partnerships (TBA – possibly Lora Davis.) It was also decided that we would look at the survey in detail before the next meeting to investigate other areas (e.g. night games). Potter agreed to post the survey on the web site and to make format changes to the comments.
