     --Troy brought up a draft issue that occurred between himself and the
       other B team coach.  He felt that because of the way the draft was 
       handled he was left with only 5 players that would show up on a consistent                                                    basis while the other team had eight.

 7.Possible Cadet tournament at Conseco—Angie received a call from    
   Fred Fath from St. Christopher.  He was asking if we would like to 
   participate in a cadet basketball tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse
   after a Pacers game on February 12 at 1:00.  To be eligible to 
   participate we would have to sell 75 tickets to the game.  The
   decision was made to offer it to the 8th grade boys if they would
   agree to sell tickets.  A suggestion was also made to let the eighth
   grade cheerleaders participate also.
   --Angie will contact Mary Sullivan to inform her of the game.
   The committee voted to approve the game. 
		
 8.Trash pick-up—Linda Curry sent an email requesting that the
   big trash cans be emptied after the football games.  The committee
   agreed that it was reasonable to expect the volunteers to pick up the
   trash generated during the games but it might be too much to ask 
   them to throw out the trash that had accumulated all week.
