they show up with payment. Lisa Fagan and Kelly Murdock will work the registration desk on April 5th
No deposit cheques for equipment will be taken on the 5th. That will be done when
the equipment is issued. 2.
Fundraising Report – Jeff and Kelly provided some information on a bracelet fundraiser that other
organizations are doing. a tag day at the market or a liquor store. There was much discussion on how to improve the bottle drive initiative. If a tractor trailer (or two ?) could be obtained and positioned so that both North and South Side collectors could make their deposits there on the Saturday and the trailer taken to the redemption center on Monday it would be ideal. Jeff Murdock will contact Scott
Kinsmen or Kiwanis as
a major sponsor. 3.
Coaching Co-ordinator Report – Andrew Allaby for There were 14 attendees at the quarterback camp. A Level I Football Technical Coaching clinic is scheduled for April 11-13 at CFB Gagetown. So far only 4 coaches have shown interest. 12 attendees are required in order to justify the expense of running the course. The V-Ps will call the coaches in their respective areas and encourage them to attend. There is a “Course Conductor’s “ course and a Level III technical course being offered at Saint Mary’s University May 16-18.

that the lights at new ones, for example in the changing area, need to be installed at CAMFA’s cost. He was given the go-ahead to make the arrangements to get it done. Shawn K.
provided receipts for expenditures for work done at that his son was owed payment for the cleaning of 31 helmets. Shawn K. also provided a list of equipment repair items which were required. Shawn F. indicated that he was somewhat unclear as to what was required to be done
at the Hazen Centre. Executive
is to assist with doing the inventory there. 5.
President’s Report - Jeff Jeff proposed that we consider adopting a policy on chin straps that is currently in use at the MFA. For health reasons ( chin straps could get saliva and blood on them), players are issued a chin strap to keep for their minor career the first time they register to play. If they lose it from one year to the next then they must purchase a new one. It was agreed to start with this approach in the fall. Jeff indicated that Eric Bissonette is interested in coming to spring camp to assess how football players may benefit from his core strength training offerings. It was
agreed that he could be given the opportunity. New Business AFL –
Terry Terry attended a
meeting in Presqu’ that consists largely of Ecole St. Anne students. FHS students that don’t make the varsity team could be eligible. Mike Beauchamp who has a son at Ecole
St. Anne is keen to be involved. Terry
was given the go-ahead to
see if he can get this
launched. Jeff will attend the upcoming FNB planning meeting. Meeting was adjourned at Action Items
