Gambling – Lisa Blake (Mark):
Bill Blake reported revenue at $5,600.00. The December reports were just received and will be reviewed at the next board meeting. The Board of Directors approved payment of $4,200.00 to our CPA’s for our gambling audit of April, 2010.

No report.
Treasurer – Tony Henningson:
Tony Henningson reported that CPYHA paid our MN Sales Tax Liability per the advice from our CPA’s. Craig Dokken and the accounting firm are working on the abatement of penalties and interest. The profit and loss statement was down a bit due to the cancellation of the Rebels Thanksgiving Tournament. The team managers are doing a good job sending ice payments. Tony has begun writing checks to coaches for reimbursement of the USA and MN Hockey Fees. There are a total of 91 coaches so this will take some time. Tony is reviewing ice bills based on new hours received from our Ice Director.
Pete Williams added that the association needs to get back on track hosting tournaments as this is income for CPYHA.
