  1. Summer

§         Jr. Lakers Lacrosse Camp – Coaches Fusco and White running summer camp.  It will be offered to the youth of Mountain Lakes and Boonton Township.  Celia will tell them if this is to be run through Rec (including being covered for insurance) they will have to pay for field use and administrative services (processing 1099’s) as well as a reasonable salary for coaches.  This may lead the coaches to offer this on their own and pay for these services as well as their own insurance.
