q Sign-ups for 50/50 have been good.

q Pandas are doing a great job

q We have all the Bears playoffs games (not sharing these games with Pandas)

5.4) GBHA Golf Tourney:

q Barts went thru the Golf Tourney Financials. There are still about $8K in Accounts Receivable outstanding. As of the end of October, we have a net income of approx $28K. We should end up netting around $20K.

5.5) Web Site:

q If you have pictures from your playing days that you would like to post on the web site, get photos to Bobby N. Bobby feels that this is the main content area that is not up to speed on the site.

q Content is only as good as we make it. Lets all chip in and make this site interesting and informative!

New Business:

6.1) Green and Gold:

q Barts attended (on behalf of GBHA) a Green and Gold meeting last week. There has been a change in the contribution levels that we are required to give to the Green and Gold Society from our Casinos. It used to be that we would give the Green and Gold 20% of each of our Casinos. The new policy is that each team that does a Casino must commit only $1000.00 per Casino. Given that we have been making $30 or $40K over the past few Casinos, this is welcome news.

q Foote Field is available for us to hold meetings. Catering would cost $10.00 a head and advanced notice is required for catering preparation. Possibly good option for any special events in the future.

6.2) Friday Hockey:

q Discussions around the table as to who is eligible to play Friday Hockey. There has been some players skating with us this year that are not Alumns and are not currently skating with the Bears. We landed on a policy/rule that any player that is skating with the Bears can skate at Alumni hockey. If they are not skating with the Bears, they cannot skate with us.

Motion to adjourn at 8:10 (April/ Lajoie)

Next Meeting: Tuesday January 8th, 2001 Rm E-431
