ENFIELD ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME
January 12, 2010
Present: Mike Cotnoir, Bob Keller, Tim Jensen, Mary Keller (Liaison) Eddie Lapponese, Kris Couture, Tony Secondo, Fran Slattery, Howie Bromage, Scott Marek, Sue Davis, Marian Dippel.
Mike called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m., welcoming the committee back for the new year of 2010.
Fran said the checkbook balance is $3,236.56 and the CD remains the same. Mike asked if anyone was interested in changing sub committee assignments but everyone seems to be happy where they are.
Committees:
Golf Tournament – It was announced that it will be May 1st at Oak Ridge. A couple of suggestions were put forth; one that postcards be sent in advance to remind the previous golfers of the date or sending e-mails to them or do both. The committee thought that either or both were a good idea, but the sub committee will make the final decision.
Scholarship – After looking at our scholarship application, it was decided to tweak it to include information that this is also to be used for the Amy Romano scholarship. It seems some applicants were unaware that our scholarship application included hers, too.
Kris will be taking the updated version to the schools shortly.
Field Hockey Jamboree – Due to the overwhelming success of the jamboree this past year, we will be continuing it again this year. The committee said that they would be holding their first meeting next month.
By-Laws – According to our by-laws we needed to have a motion made that the slate of officers, Chairman Mike Cotnoir, Vice-chairman Tim Jensen, Secretary Kris Couture, Treasurer Fran Slattery, as well as the rest of the standing committee remain the same for the next two years. The exception is Stan Dynia, who has resigned. (Thank you Stan for all those great pictures and willingness to help these many years). A motion was then made and approved by the committee to retain the officers and standing committee for the next two years.
Next a proposed by-law change for balloting was put forth. It has to do with including an age category (10 year increments) when electing new inductees. After a great deal of discussion, both pro and con, Mike volunteered to make a spread sheet showing all our current nominees and then have a column showing the approximate high school graduation date of those nominees. This would give the committee additional information so that we can better assess this by-law proposal. Mike will be e-mailing this data to us shortly, as according to our by-laws the committee will need to vote on this at our February meeting. During the discussion it was brought up of the need to obtain more bios and that we need to get this out to the general public; therefore, Mary agreed to get something on ETV regarding hall of fame bios and Tim agreed to contact the newspapers.
Next meeting will be Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the Senior Center.
Meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Kristine Couture, Secretary.
