Team Reps:

Some discussion was held about the behavior of some of the players at the banquet.  It has been strongly suggested that at the 2008 banquet, players should sit with their parents.  This topic was addressed last year, and has again appeared as a problem at this year’s banquet.  

Jr. Varsity & Varsity:  Banquet was held at the Fireside.  All monies are in.

Novelties:  Richelle Rumble reported that all monies have been given to the Treasurer.  All items have been pretty much sold.  Some novelties will be returned to Nami’s.  Barb Twombly will assist in this.  Richelle will not chair this committee next season.   We are looking for a volunteer.
