Update on Tri County and Village Discussions:  A group of representatives from PYO met with the Tri County Optimists to discuss ways to work better together.  Tri County is very willing to work with PYO and PGSA.  It was recommended that a group of 2 members from each organization get together to develop a plan for the Memorial Park improvements.  Also, Tri County is willing to help us with budgeting, joint fundraisers, information on softball players, ranking, etc.

 

Bleacher Update:   Baytech and MCL split the purchase of one unit.  It is in place.  $4000 is available from small donations for the next set.  Price is currently identified as $10,200.  Tri County would like the PYO to fund the remaining $6200.  They would then reciprocate with a similar donation for park improvements next year.  The vote was held on the motion to donate $4000 to the bleacher fund.  10 Yes votes, 13 No votes.  Todd Stiede made a new motion to donate up to $4000 for bleachers to be matched by Tri County Optimists.  Jill Davis seconded.  Motion carried.  This will be back to the Optimists and voted on at the November Meeting. 

 

Basketball – All grades have coaches.  Coaches meeting held prior to the regular October meeting.  Coaches should get tournament dates into Todd Stiede for boys and Diane Przybylski for girls so Don Bogacz can get us registered.

Tournament dates are set for the Girls Tournament and 3rd grade Boys on Jan. 11,12,13 and Boys Jan. 18, 19, 20 for grades 4-8.  Another rule change for the boy’s tournament – 3rd and 4th grade will have a continuous clock and an 18 minute game.  Last two minutes of the game – the clock will stop.  Tournament dates will be posted on the web site.  For the concession stands, it was recommended that we come up with a night deposit method to minimize money handling and reduce risk.

 

5th grade boys, motion made to purchase 30 red uniforms for no more than $50 each by Todd Stiede, seconded by Diane P. motion carried.
