Board of Directors Meeting

Jason is going to look into keeping up our partnership with Lock 29 for this year. Need to look at how to have their kitchen ready-to-go for us at the right time this year.

Bruce still hasn't asked the Chiller about reserving our one day events. He's been waiting until after the fall league to do so.

See the After Action Report to see Mike and Bruce's thoughts on the fall league. Read through the recommendations contained in that document.

• Motion made to implement these recommendations right away. (Will do this by adding these items into the League Coordination Guide.)

11 people originally signed up for the Java League. Then 5 more signed up after the deadline. Therefore, Paul and Pat made the decision to cancel the entire league.

• Bruce gave them the power to have complete control over whether to run or cancel the league due to the last minute changing.

Paul and Pat have instead gone with the option to have "Open Curling" with Kettering during those ice times. Kettering will advertise them.

• Kettering will be the one offering this, band we will make sure to have at least one trusted member present at each instance.
• Bob proposed making up business cards or a small flier to hand out at all open curling sessions and learn to curls.
  • Jason already has made some up business cards for himself that are exactly this, and handed them out at yesterday's event, October 13th.

Learn to Curls -

• There was a family of 4 that showed up to the 5 pm Learn to Curl, which was a good sign that Kettering might pull families into the Curl Troy membership.
• Used the Junior curling circles for the first time.

Bob, Jason, Paul, and Pat moved the stones down to Kettering this last Friday, October 12th.

• Showed that trying to coordinate a specific few people as opposed to making an all-call to the entire club can work much better.
• We have been using this method as a club for the last 3-4 moves with good success.

Need to make sure we are viewing Kettering as a partner rather than as a competitor.

• They don't even have the time in order to try to compete with us.
• We need to be looking at it as a big picture.
• They are willing to run learn to curls in the spring even if there are only 2 willing participants.
• Need to make sure that that idea is conveyed to the membership too.

Paul is working on getting the fourth freezer down to the Kettering.

Tricia, Mike, and Leo have all volunteered to work as a team on this. Tricia said she will take lead, but not sure if she is ready yet.

• Bruce offered to meet with her to help get them started.

Looking to have a club historian, and will talk to Leo about doing that.

Discussion about how to handle sexual harrassment claims brought up to the club.

• There was an incident that was conveyed to Jessica regarding the use of a GoPro.
• Need to create a photo policy.
• Should add a video policy as well that states that you must check with anyone you are playing with before using any recording device.

Bob is still unclear as to the goal of the Advisory Board.

• Should any of these newly created volunteer positions be a part of the advisory board? Or should they be separate from it?
  • Don't want to overload people offering help on small projects.
• Paul is already on the board due to being the GLCA Rep.
• Bob is going to ask for recommendations from the Board for people to be on this Board.
