Welcome:
President Paul Deterding welcomed everyone to the meeting. He thanked everyone for the commitment to the club and attendance at regular meetings. He encouraged parents to ramp up attendance for our best effort possible in the upcoming fundraising opportunities the 2010 season.
Coach Update:
Coach Vickery says summer practice is going very well. He was happy at the success at the 7 on 7 tournament in Tate, Florida. There will be other competitive opportunities at Gulf Shores HS on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of this week. The two best teams will have the opportunity to advance to tournament in Hoover.
Middle School Coach has been named as David McNair. He will be assisted by Coach Hinton. We are seeking at least two additional community volunteers to support the team.
The freshmen team will have head Coach Todd with assistant coaches Jimmy Daley, Coach Fleeton, Willie Awtry and Bennie Houston. Coached expressed appreciation for leaders stepping up from the community.
Middle School helmets were sent off for certification and of the 83 sent some 41 were rejected. The club has paid for the refurbishments of the 42 helmets and purchase of 35 additional helmets at cost of $80/each.
Lift-a-thon is currently scheduled for July 22nd with only change in date required if we attend Hoover tournament.

The two immediate activities which need our support are the upcoming Golf Tournament and Program Ads which need to be sold immediately. Strong support of these activities is encouraged. The previous program ads are available for pick up and the forms are also available for anyone to print from the website of daphnefootball.com.

It is believe stadium seats will be available for $100 each with some reduction possible for multiple seat purchases. Reserved parking will be available for additional $30/season.
We are looking into an event in front of Bass Pro Shop on August 21 and 22 with demonstration by a Dog Performance Group which would allow for concession sales. Additional research and information will be provided.
