6. Other
   1. Foundation Games --  The Section put out a list of schools who had scheduled games in Volleyball and B/G Basketball by March 31st.  All MEL schools are encouraged to schedule Foundation Games since the proceeds go directly to the Dale Lacky Awards.
   2. Joan stated that scores for Spring contests are not being sent in making it very difficult to update the web site.  Each AD needs to check their sport for missing scores on the web site, get those missing scores and send them to Joan via email.
   3. Standing Committee – Joan indicated that she would like to form a standing committee (from retired ADs and/or coaches) to handle such items as appeals, Dale Lacky recipients, etc.  The Athletic Directors felt this was a good idea.
