President Sokolowski called the board meeting to order at 8:05 p.m.
New Business: The new field looks great, but it wouldn't have without a lot of help. A big thank you goes out to Mark Kondzielawa, Mark Sokolowski, Pat Fraccola, Nick Manfredo, Bill Shaw, John O'Dell, and many other peoplefor all their hard work in the rain and the hot sun over the past few months getting the field ready. We still need pads for the goal posts. Mark K. suggested trying pipe insulation as pads but these may not be the greatest so we will look into purchasing them.The Rugari's are donating a Marcy-Deerfield Pop Warner flag. Mark S. will donate his American flag to hang at the field. Mark K. and Mark S. will go to Lowe's to buy flagpoles. The visiting teams will be told to come dressed, as we don't have any rooms for them to dress in this year. Next year we should have a new concession stand/locker room.
Paul Zaleski reported on business discussed at the last TVL League meeting. Team parents need to be told to bring their books to the next game so the TVL league can check the books for missing items noted at the last TVL meeting. League forms have to be on the web site for availability. We will have an Ambulance on the field for each game should we need it. Any changes in reference to a game have to be in by 7:00 pm the Wednesday prior so they can get it on the web site. The home team cannot only call in the scores after each game, but we can also post them on the message board. Reiterated nobody publishes Mitey Mite scores. Next year there will be no Mitey Mite older/lighters so they can realign with the national law. Paul Zaleski will be Jr. Pee Wee Commissioner. Insurance certificates have been faxed to the Town of Marcy. The TVL would like each team to file taxes at the end of the year from concession stand profits. A twenty-minute discussion about that was held. Weigh-ins for the kids; 7 lb weight for Mitey Mites; 8 lb weight for Jr. Pee Wee and Jr. Midget will be strip weight. Jr. Midgets are going to have a live kick off that will count as a play. Mitey Mite rule: 16 to 25 players 10 plays each; 26 to 35 are 8 plays. All players have to be in by the 3rd quarter. If not the commissioner puts them in. Commissioners and coaches have to sign their sheets at the end of each game. NYS cheer/football championships will be held in Rome. The TVL league is putting in a bid to host the 2004 Pop Warner Super Bowl. If a team hosts the Super Bowl, they should make a considerable profit but also expect to put in a lot of work.
Our parent's party will be held September 13th. Linda and Paula will go around and check to see who's going to attend and what they're bringing. We will have another board meeting in the middle of the month to hold elections for next years Board of Directors.
The next Board meeting will be held at the Marcy Tavern on Monday, September 23rd at 7:30 p.m
