Posted Feb 1/15 - Notes from 1/31/15 Meeting

Ok, the girls had a fun night out at Stanton Lanes hitting up their bowling skills!

Let's get right down to the meat of what went on:

1) Uniforms: There were a few different styles that we chose from, and you can view the winning pick by clicking this link: View the design here.
     - The logo will obviously be different - it will be the Snake wrapped around the ball (like we have now, minus the "Venom Softball) text. The Text "Northeast" will wrap around the top of the ball, while "Venom" will be wrapped around the bottom of the ball.

2) Important: Donut orders will be picked up February 8th, 2015 (Next Sunday) due to Krispy Kreme having the 15th booked already. Please have your donut order complete and any monies turned in on Tuesday. Coach Bryan will call everyone Wednesday/Thursday to confirm everyone's count. If you are able to sell a box or two between Tuesday and Thursday, feel free to do so, as you can turn in any extra moneies you have collected when we hand out the orders. However: Please make sure to get as much funds turned in on Tuesday evening as you can.

3) Getting a 2nd set of uniforms was brought up, for those overnight stays or multiple tournament days (they are all multi-days....) that we as parents do not get a chance to wash the first set. Great idea, but it does require funding as they are not free or cheap. Let's get one set of uniforms paid for first, then we can work on a second set.

4) Once MVP gets their final inspection (should know Monday, February 2nd) we will be transferring our practices over there. The cost for each child will be $51.00 for a month. This will probably be required before we start practicing. Breaking it down, it comes out to about $13.00 per week for each player. Not bad for 2 days that everyone can be there, and for 2 hours each session with the newest equipment and a clean facility. Please watch your messages Monday for notice.

5) Speaking of practice times, everyone is available Sunday (5:00pm) and Tuesdays (6:30pm) from the sheets the parents filled out. These will be firm since everyone has seemed to agree on them. This will be for when we transfer over to MVP - which will hopefully be this week.

6) Ok, back to the multi-uniforms and the fundraising. Many great ideas were brought to the table about raising funding for extra tournaments, an extra set of uniforms, and more training equipment.
     a) Another Bucket Drop: Miss Jackie has secured the following dates for more Bucket Drives at Schiel's: February 8th (this upcoming Saturday) and March 7th. The times are the same as last: 11:00am until 5:00pm
    b) A flapjack breakfast at Applebee's: Proposed date would be March 7th. Figured then they can shoot over to Schiel's - two fundraisers in one day....
    c) Domino's Pizza Cards. Buy the cards for $1.00 each and sell for $10.00 each. The recipient gets a buy one- get one deal, 10 times. Seems very lucrative and there is no time limit to sell them.
    d) Bucket Drop at a Wal-Mart. This can be huge and more information is on the way for it. Good days at a Walmart can easily bring in enough to cover 1 full set of uniforms.

7) Overnight stays: If we have enough funding, it was brought up to stay at the Sunbury tournament overnight.

8) Tournament Dates: Once we get a final word on Tuesday about OUR tournament, the tournament dates will be posted here on the calendar. You will be notified via our GroupMe Text App and Text messaging about the dates we have in mind after that one. Our tournament will be the first (with blessings) and we will use the proceeds from it to book our next tournaments.

Thank you,
Coach B.
