Secretary's Report was read and accepted; Mindy Gagner

Treasurer’s Report; Don Collins

New Business; Norm

• Norm signed a contract with Plano ; each team member will get a bag with a flip sider & a utility box.
• There will be a Team meeting on April 30 at the Ground Round at 7:00pm. Team deposits are due at the monthly Federation meeting on April 9 at the Ground Round at 7:00pm.  Sean Alzerez had dropped off of the State Team. We discussed how we would pay for the President to go to Divisionals if he’s not a member of the State Team.  A motion was made and accepted that if the President was not a member of the Team any expenses incurred from the Divisionals would be funded out of the general operating account and not from the State Team account.
• Norm has a check for $500 from TBF.  The check is supposed to be $1 for every youth member but it appears that there is a minimum of $500 because we don’t have 500 youth members.  A motion was made and accepted to give the check to the youth club.
• The yearly charity tournament that Bill Spence organizes will be for Fishing for Friends this year.  He asked for a donation.  A motion was made and accepted to dentate $200.
• There is going to be a public hearing to discuss banning ALL lead in Vermont including lead batteries and ammunition.  Everyone is encouraged to call their legislators if they are concerned.  The bill is H152.

• Meeting adjourned at 7:38pm.

Respectfully submitted, Mindy Gagner
