Uniforms update: Ann showed two uniforms – $30.00 one color-cheap made overseas, $60.00 one or two color made in US - nice. Ann has heard very good things about the vendor. They will take 5-6 weeks special order. The vendor can also order 3-4 per year if needed. Discussed if we should add a fee of $10-15 to membership fees for uniform maintenance. The board agreed the association will take on the expense of the uniforms. Jim made a motion to pass the decision of the association paying for the uniforms, Warren Kokes seconded the motion and the motion was passed. Quantities are: 20 small, 25 medium, 25 large, 30, xlarge, and 5 xxlarge.

Guy reported that Andy said priority will be given to coach clinics in late September. Andy will make a showing at the June 3 – Lynch Clinic. He will be working his girls on man to man defense and screening. No one knew about assistants or junior varsity or 9th grade coaches.

Walk on items: A parent contacted Guy and asked what the boards’ position on the “fairness” of having girls on the Jefferson Girls Traveling Association teams if they will not be attending Jefferson High School.
