President's Report -- Frank spoke on attendance at meetings. Since only 6 or 7 meetings per year are mandatory, all absentees will be fined $100 per occasion. It is not too much to ask for delegates or their alternates to attend, since important decisions are being made all the time. This information is then to be passed on to your clubs so that they stay informed, eliminating mixups, and misunderstandings.

There are still a few clubs that owe monies to the league. Even though your club will be in the schedules that are being prepared after this meeting, you will not be allowed to play if your money has not been sent to the treasurer by March 1. Teams that still the league monies will then be suspended (not in good standing) and the state will be notified. The league secretary is coordinating all matters with the treasurer, they are the only ones to be contacted to clear up these matters.

Vice President's Report -- Charlie advised that if your club does not have their tickets, need more tickets, or wish to sell some of the ones you have, call him. We must have an accurate count of the people coming one week before the dinner. In past years we have been paying for people who do not show yet have confirmed that they are coming. LYSL funds are needlessly being paid to the caterer when they should remain in the league for the kids.
