5.6 HOUSE LEAGUE

House league sort outs are going well.  Valerie wants more pinnies ordered for next season.

The sale went really well this year.  Jim Hiel had it organized such that when people dropped off their equipment it went straight into the room it was to be sold in.  This created much less work than usual.  Jim will book the cafeteria for next year’s sale.

Jim is also working at getting NMHA teams involved with sledge hockey.

Volunteer appreciation night will be Feb. 24th.  This is Howie’s last season and he would like someone from the board to step forward so he could show them the ropes before he goes.
