Hope Swoffer gave treasury report and a report regarding funds received from the teams entered into the Midnight Sun Tournament- presently $20,075 has been collected from teams. There are 77 teams registered to attend this year about 15 more than last year.

Sponsorship has brought in $3,125 and should allow for the tournament books to break even and perhaps a little profit. Total money paid out at present time is $2836 for tournament pins, trophies, and a tarp. Referees still need to be paid. FYSA has that contract so we do not know at this moment what the cost will be.

MST Update:

Valerie Flint stated that there were still 4 team to register. Schedules should be put on the web page Monday, June 18.Awards ceremonies will be held at a central location following the end of each championship game. That location will be announced at the coaches meeting. Field Marshall information will be handed out at credentials and information given at the coaches meeting.

The concession stand will have free hot dogs and hamburgers for the referees during the tournament.

There are 6 tables that will be selling various items and or food during the tournament.

Picnic is at 6 PM please bring food by 5:30 the 89 and 90 team will set up and clean up.

Hamburgers /hot-dogs have been donated...still need paper products ..agreed that it could be covered under tournament expense if these items need to be purchased.

Crad Fee Collection:

The collection due date is May 1st. Due to this program not being underway prior to that date this years fees need to be in to Hope Swoffer no later than August 1st. Teams write one check and turn it in to Hope. Here after May 1st will be the due date for collecting Crad fees.

Eclipse Clinic

Karla Bright spoke about the clinic that the 88,89, and 90’s teams are participating in. It will begin Monday. The coaches are fun and really enjoy talking "soccer". The Bright’s invited all attending the clinic to a picnic at their home that Sunday night.

The car wash supplies are still missing. The new 91 team would appreciate borrowing car wash supplies to help them with their car wash scheduled for June 30th.

Reminder to coaches that it is time to give one of their two player evaluations. They must give two evaluations during the summer season one written and one verbal.

Managers please strongly encourage your parents to fill out the coaches evaluation form and turn it in. Our coaches always appreciate knowing that they are doing a good job, but in order to grow and improve they need to hear from the parents.

Fall Registration

Greg stated that it has been suggested that payment of club dues take place in the fall to help break up costs to the families. Cindy Vredenburg motioned to collect club dues and indoor fees upon notification of making the team in the fall. The motion was seconded by Sondra Templeton. All present were in favor-motion passed.

Try-Outs- 90’s need to have early try outs due to coaches leaving for college. Doesn’t seem to be a good date to choose to help this situation. Greg stated his hesitancy to hold try-outs before State Cup didn’t feel that would be appropriate.

Coaches need to be considering try out dates and a firm date will be set at the next meeting for the fall try-outs for all teams.

Collection Envelopes

Valerie Flint discussed printing up envelopes that could be used for transferring money too and from the player and team treasurer. Greg asked that if this is done would we want the club to pay for it so that every team could use this system. Sondra Templeton asked that we consider making the envelopes ourselves by purchasing a stamp. Both ideas have been left for consideration while costs are looked into. Greg will speak with Linda Colang who has already looked into costs of printed envelopes and then ask Sallie to send out a questionnaire regarding what we would want printed on the envelopes to help aid money transactions. Hopefully this information will be made available by the end of the month.

Next board meeting will be Sunday , July 29th at 4 pm. Location to be announced.

Meeting adjourned at 2:20 pm
