Bob Swab called the meeting to order at 7:07 PM. There were 10 regular members in attendance.

Gale Starbuck paraphrased the minutes from the November meeting. No corrections were made and a motion was made by Steve Fischvogt to approve the minutes with a second by Gary Cobbler. The motion was approved.

Committees and their membership were discussed and finalized. They will be posted to the web site within the next couple of days. Membership by other adults outside of the board has always been encouraged to help share responsibilities and to get new ideas.

Angela LeBlanc, Sales Manager for Omega Sports in Winston Salem asked for and was granted time to speak with the board. She is proposing that Omega Sports be allowed to give free softball and baseball clinics. Angela was not clear on how the clinics would operate, so she will return to Omega and prepare an outline of how the clinics will be run after talking to her respective experts. No action was taken and Angela may return for the next board meeting.
