HOCKEY BAGS PURCHASED BY THE BLC FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TEAM. COST $900-1000. ROD MADE THE DECISION BASED ON CONVERSATIONS THAT WERE AFTER THE ACTUAL BOARD MEETING. HE THOUGHT THEY WERE DURING THE MEETING. THE BOYS HOCKEY TEAM BRINGS A LOT OF MONEY TO THE CLUB FROM THE ALUMNI GOLF TOURNAMENT AND CONCESSION SALES. THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR FUTURE GREENWAVE. ROD STATED, “IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME OR WITH A DECISION I MAKE, COME AND TALK TO ME DO NOT SEND AN ANNONAMOUS LETTER.”
