TREASURER REPORT: Mark Johnson presented the Financial reports for March. Still working on some collection issues. The Bantam B team owes approximately $2,400.00 and the Pee Wee A team $5,000.00. Collected some bad debt we had written off. The Novelty Sales are $7,048.50 Y-T-D and the Expenses are $14,801.81. This is due to the fact we built up the inventory. Midwest Tournament fees of $13,835.21 were received from the Midwest League. We still owe for the last ice bill from the City. Prior to that we have a Net Loss of $6,023.42 as of March 31, 2003. The Audit Committee reported that the Bantam B books were correct and that Treasurer, Jeff Young had done a fine job. He was just missing the last bills from his Coordinator. Motion by Soole, second by Logsdon to approve the Treasurers Report as presented. Motion passed. Discussion on a skater who would like to work off his past due balance. It was recommended he find other employment or referee to earn money to pay the fees.

They also paid SYHA all of their charges for the season including jersey fees. The Metros had a profit at the end of the year. The Midget B account was reviewed showing a net loss. A motion was made by White and second by Johnson to included the Midget B team in the Metros for the next season and SYHA will subsidize the team as it did this year. Motion Passed.
