 COMMITTEE REPORTS

 Financial report:  There are still some curlers that have not paid their dues at this time; Tom will look into this situation.  The idea to try to sell some of the club merchandise was brought up; Tom will talk to Wally about this.  Balance as of January 19 is            $10, 457.74.

 House and ice:  Jeff Bakken reported on the play downs, everything seemed to go well.  A special thanks was given to Garland Legacie for coordinating the ice activities.  John mentioned that Garland suggested that we purchase an extra fine pebble head and a temperature probe for the ice.  Roxy made a motion to purchase an extra fine pebble head and a temperature probe, but not to exceed $250.00, with the purchases: Greg second it, the motion passed.

 League:  Two league schedules have been revised:  Tuesday early and Wednesday early.  Roger will update the website with the schedule changes and Roxy has already made copies, to hand out, of the revised schedules.  It was decided that each team will be responsible to make up their missed league night game from Thursday Jan. 12 (due to state play downs).  Jeff Bakken and Roger Smith are to inform their leagues about this.

 OTHER BUSINESS:

State Playdowns:  Profits were approximately $300.00 from the event.  Beverage sales were good.  Food cost approximate $236.00.  Mike Kirkeby and Garland Lagacie were given some reimbursement for traveling expenses, for volunteering their time.  Tom gave a special thanks to all the people that made this weekend go smoothly.

 Accountant:  Tom has been unsuccessful in finding any one interested in taking this over.

 TV Fundraiser:  Money and tickets can be turned into John at any time.

 Young Professionals Night:  February 24, 2006 has been set aside for the Young Professional fun night.  We will need all the volunteers we can get to help out.  They are planning on having 50 people.  If you have any questions contact Roger.  The beverages will be available for purchase and they are welcome to bring snacks for the evening.

 Capital Improvements:  Discussion was held on designating funds to go into a Capital Improvement fund.  More discussion will be held at later meetings.

 Donations to National Curlers:  Discussion was held on donating money to current club members that attend national events, representing the state of North Dakota .  Roxy made a motion “The Capital Curling Club will give $100 to each paid club member, who participates in a National event representing the state of North Dakota ”, Roger seconded it, the motion passed.

 Club/Green Spiel:  The club/green spiel that was scheduled for February 3-5 will be moved to March 17-19, Sign-up is in the club room. This is due to the outdoor spiel which is scheduled for January 27-29.  It was felt that a bonspiel on two consecutive weekends would bring down the numbers of interested curlers.

 Next meeting will be March 15 at 5:15 .
