-
membership
update
-
the club did much better than expected last year
(2002-2003), the deficit was -$282.69, the club had budgeted for a deficit of
around -$1000.
-
The
smaller deficit was due to the profits made from Popsidwell
and the Social (~+$669.41)as well as membership dues (~+$233).
-
The
result going into the new session (2003-2004) the club has a cash balance of
just over $9000:
o
just
over $3000 in club account a $5000 GIC plus interest
o
Rod
- suggests we roll over the GIC for another year as
it doesn’t appear to be needed
“Motion to roll over GIC for another
year”
Tracey - seconded it
all members in favor -Francie and Rod C
Rod

-

this year seems to be slower as only 10 people to date have paid. The dead line for the discount this year is
the following tuesday Sept. 30th).

a new President of the club is also needed.

3) Francie
Provincial
swim week
-
September
28 to October 4th has been designated as Provincial swim week, by MSM and Sports Manitoba
-
they have asked that clubs plan activities to promote
swimming in the province.
Francie
-
suggests we open up our practices to the public by asking
members of club to bring a friend and advertising by sending out invitations to
Frank Kennedy personnel: Jody William, Walt Mckee
etc. Perhaps a “fun” practice on Saturday
with a lighter practice and relays
Discussion
-
executive felt that much of the public wouldn’t come for fun relays
on a saturday morning. How many people will come? Our practices are open
for the first three already and we don’t get that many people. We don’t want too
light of a practice as members still expect to come for a work out.
Decisions:
Tracey will make invitations for Frank Kennedy personnel.
We will ask members to bring a friend anytime during the
week.

lifeguard
attentiveness during practices
-
At
previous meetings discussion about the lifeguards
professionalism, i.e.attentiveness on deck during
practices has been brought up.
-
On
June 18th Francie sent and e-mail to Amanda Moldzinski (the Aquatic Director) about our concerns and
Rod Clifton sent an e-mail to Walt McKee (the Assistant to the Dean of the
Faculty of Phys.ed, Programs and Services Director of
Frank Kennedy) on June the 19th, both e-mails outlined club members concerns
about lifeguards not watching the pool because they were talking or reading
while on deck rather than “guarding” the pool, especially so soon after the drowning cases in the media.
-
Walt
Mckee responded June 20th. He suggested in his e-mail
that he would bring up our concerns with Amanda and that the guards on duty
would be aware that we are watching them.
7) Francie
Pool
Accessibility
-
Francie will be sending an e-mail to Jody Williams in
regards to pool accessibility. Her daughter will be swimming with us this year
to have the opportunity for Pal to coach her as they will be going to
competitions and he will be her coach.
She uses a wheel chair and our facility doesn't allow access to the pool
at the moment.
