Tax Exempt Status – Alan Muir has committed to completing the appropriate forms. Bill Whelan contacted him the week of 3/13 and has not heard back. Joe has researched and found that MECTA should state in its bylaws exactly what will happen to any remaining funds upon dissolution of MECTA.

Team Recruitment– Jenny Nelson presented flyer which will be sent to all teams not current members. She is also looking to create a public service announcement to be distributed to all forms of media. Both the State of Maine and the Foreside Company look to be new teams for the 2000 season.

Meet Locations – Nothing has been confirmed at this time. By Friday, March 24^th Tom Blake should have the 1^st meet finalized. MECTA will not be considering Cheverus due to lack of facilities.

Order of Field Events – After much discussion, it was determined that a set start order needed to be created for the field events. Going forward, Women’s discus, Men’s shot put and Men’s Long jump will all be held first. The Men’s discus, Women’s shot put and Women’s Long jump will begin when the majority of the other gender has completed their competition. This recognizes that some participants are competing in multiple events and may not necessarily be able to complete their field events at the same time as the rest of their gender. Jenn made the motion to accept and Bill seconded, the vote was unanimous.

Job Descriptions – Not completed yet, follow-up at next meeting.
