Attendance:  Jim Cuddy, Laurie Elliott, Brenda Ginter, Linda Procopio, Richelle Rumble, Barb Sobczak, Barb Twombly, Lee Verginio, & John Yeschick.

Secretary’s Report:  Minutes for the March 12, 2007, meeting were reviewed and accepted.

Treasurer’s Report:   There is approximately $x.xx checking & $x.xx savings.  In light of the fact that we have to file and become a not-for-profit organization, the President and Treasurer will meet and review treasurers’ record keeping and establish a more definitive way to report and keep track of all line items.   The Treasurer’s Report was reviewed and accepted.

Coaches Report:  Some additional changes to the web site will be made enhancing the Alumni Area. This will aid in the formation of an Alumni Association, which will enhance the Baldwinsville Football program via sponsorships, scholarships, endowments etc.  Coach Sanfilippo & Barb Sobsczak are working closely on this endeavor.   Funds will initially go through the BIFC Treasury, and, if this endeavor is successful, a separate financial account will be established.   $x.xx is not needed for the warm-ups as requested at the March meeting.

New Business:

BIFC is still looking for Team Reps.  It is anticipated that, as the football season nears, those would like to be more involved will come forward.

The NFF Combine will be held May 20^th, 8-3 p.m. Volunteers are needed for this.  Possibly students needing PIG (Participation in Government) hours will assist us.  Names of participants will be in the computer program prior to this event, realizing that there are always those that want to register on the date of the program.

Unity Day:  Hope to be able to finalize details at the next meeting.

Not for Profit Status:  We are in the process of filing the necessary paperwork for this as mandated by the school district.   $x.xx is needed to process the paperwork.  Dave Steward, a lawyer, will guide us thru this process.  The by-laws have been found and need to be updated for this.  Also needed are three years of financial reports.  

Scholarship Applications are on the Web Site and in the Guidance Dept. Offices.  A reminder, via school announcements, will be made.   As of this date Applications were not received.

Big 30 Camp:   Brochures have been distributed.  This will be held at St. John Fisher’s this year.   Barb Twombly researched the availability and prices of buses.   A motion was made and approved for Barb to finalize details regarding busing, it will either by Onondaga or Caz Limo.   Busing will remain $x.xx for each participant.

Golf Outing – Richelle has found a great price for Umbrellas.  This item has been tabled and will be addressed at the May Meeting.   Planning for this event is going well.

Novelties:  Richelle has been looking at different novelties and the availability of them for next season.

A motion was made, discussed and passed so that Richelle may purchase beads and football-shaped magnets, for sale during the upcoming season. 

Bottles & Cans Collections -- $x.xx from ea. Modified/Freshman player and $x.xx from each JV/Varsity Player.  Barb Twombly has agreed to oversee this collection via “Here’s Your Nickel” Redemption Center.
