He was a scout for Worthington, Dublin and many other towns for boy’s basketball as well as the boy’s basketball coach for Dublin in the ‘90’s. For the last 7 years he has worked with the DYA Girls Lacrosse organization and for the last 5 years was the Commissioner.

A copy of his philosophy, expectation and calendar will be made available on the website by Monday, September 27th. 3. Mike announced that we have created a Girls Lacrosse Booster website – http://laxteams.net/coffmangirls. The website will be active by Monday, September 27th. 4. Jeff discussed the budget and the fundraising activities that help us reach our financial goals. 5. Aimee appealed to everyone to participate by volunteering for our fundraising activities. 6. Sherill discussed the 2 sheets that needed to be filled out and returned ASAP – Parent/Player Contact Information Sheet & Parent Volunteer Form – both will be made available on the website. Sherill then went over every volunteer opportunity with a brief explanation of how you could get involved. 7. Susan discussed our “Coffman” Sign program/fundraiser and how much $$ it brings in. Susan discussed the upcoming “Shop 4 a Cause” at Macy’s and asked every player to take 5 tickets to sell. They are $5 a piece with the entire $5 going to the Girls Lacrosse Booster. Either bring the money or the unsold tickets to Susan at our next meeting. The event will be October 16th and she needs every player to man the booth for a short period of time and would like the older players to buddy up with the younger players. 8. Bonnie discussed our plan for cloth wear this year. We will most likely be having a mandatory package that the girls will have to get – at a reasonable price. The thought behind this is Coach wants the girls to look like a team at all times. We are holding off on any cloth wear purchases until we get a better handle on the size of the team. 9. Our next meeting is scheduled for October 12, 2010 at 7:30pm in the lecture hall.
