| 1 | Treasurer's report - Ending 2007 balances: $26,860.29 - in-house $12,769.70 - travel $1,445.82 - tourney New accounts are open at Hawthorne. Old accounts are not yet closed, but will be after a few months (allowing time for everyone to cash any checks that have been issued). Considering getting a merchant account for ourselves (instead of using Hammerhead's). Hammerhead would prefer that we have our own. Michelle put together an initial 2008 budget for review. Traveling is owed about $30K-$40K for indoor. On-line registration - Matt will send out link to HH issues to board. Matt will send out email announcing registration opening on 2/1. in the email mention: shorts - $8 socks - $3 available at registration. Email to coaches from last Fall asking them to contact Tom with their coaching availablity for the Spring. Want to get this out early so that we can get a list of coaches prior to the end of registration and not be in a scramble to find coaches at the end. |

Board member comments - Kathleen - Nothing Chris - Credit cards fees need for got.soccer tournament registration (i.e., convienence fee). Currently the site says we just accept checks. Bill K - Went to the storm game and won a $200 bike. Use it for a raffle prize at the tournament. Russ - Looking to book travel pool party. Moving to the weekend after Father's Day. Looking for some other team to take over schedule. Considering giving that team 7-10 extra entry "passes" for the party. Matt - Nothing Michelle - Camp is the 1st week of Aug. Team camp is out as for as reserved spots. However, a team could do one for $850 if they wanted (i.e., we would pull a trainer to coach the camp). John Sidman - New fields will be open for the Tournament. Asking what fields we should put on those fields. U12B will be 8v8 for tournaments (IYSA) --> Jr fields. So, 3x Jr & 2x Int/Sr on main fields, 3x Minor on new fields. Need to finalize this so that we can determine how many teams we can accept at the various levels. Tom - New Nike uniforms are bleeding red on to the letters and they are turning pink. Jeff Smith reported similar results with the Mass warm-ups. PCA dates? |
