COMMITTEE REPORTS

GAMBLING COMMITTEE – Mark Hickey Gambling July 2014 activity summary, tax return, allowable expenses, and September 2014 budget were presented and approved. Mr. Hickey reported that Top Shots and Big Brad’s are changing charitable organizations at the end of September. Neither business has been a large contributor to our income so Mr. Hickey sees little impact on RJHA.

MITES/SUPERMITES REPRESENTATIVE – Lorne Hedin Mr. Hedin reported that he has recently met with Guy Gallaugher to discuss working together to help build the girls program from the MITES and all programs upward.

OPERATIONS UNIT – Chris Brunholz- Mr. Brunholzl reported that Matt Bloxham and Brian Zmolek have agreed to take over the duties of Referee In Chief for all levels.

Hockey Recruitment- Pilar Gibson Ms. Gibson reported that she is still looking at using Peach Tree through the school system to advertise to the elementary aged children. The cost is $500.00 to send e-mails for a month and the cost may be too much. After discussion Doug Zmolek and Lorne Hedin said they would look at bringing fliers to the elementary schools for distribution by classrooms.

NEW BUSINESS- Bob Montrose spoke to the board regarding the process in obtaining a 5th cube for the Graham 4 Arena. He is forming a group to get this process moving and invited RYHA to have representation at the next meeting. Mr. Montrose introduced Derrick Orman who has taken the position of the new night manager at the Graham Complex. Welcome Derrick. Mr. Montrose extended an invitation to consider using the south west corner of Graham One at the dry land Area for RYHA this season. He would leave the last set of bleach in. He has also researched a business that we could purchase floor tiles and netting needed for the area and this can be purchased and picked up from the business ASAP. Doug will speak further with Mr. Montrose and look at the area to determine if this would be a good use.
