9.0 OLD BUSINESS:

9.1 Booth Hours- We need to stress that for the 2011/2012 season, your booth shift requires 15 hours per child registered in PMH! So if you are scheduled for a week with your team, you are responsible to dedicate 15 hours per child. If after that week you did not contribute those hours you will be asked to fill in the remaining hours some other week! If you have 3 children in hockey, you are required to work 45 hours!

9.2 On-Line Registration: for the 2012/2013 season, we will be doing pre-registration online! With this process, it will save Rhonda a huge amount of time! It also allows you as amember to update your personal information such as contact names, numbers and current addresses.The executive will discuss this in the spring (2012) to start the process! Rhonda will have to phone Hockey Alberta to get this set up and Kelly can put the link to online registration on our PMH website for easy access! Keep in mind that this is a pre registration only! We will still have to come to the fall meeting and confirm registration with payment details!

9.3 Parking Lot Donation: PMH is going to donate money to the Ag Society for the parking lot!

Kathy Meier makes a motion that PMH gives $10,000 to the parking lot. Kevin Ganser 2nds, all in favor; motion carried!
