Treasurer Report: Account is in good shape. Club is doing fine with reimbursements for Marcellus and tournaments.
Registrar: There are 125 kids signed up to play on travel teams. The new District Registrar is Matt Palmer and he is wonderful to work with. The suggestion was made that the registration form have a check box for "Interested in goalie position". The online registration form also needs to be worked on because some people are noticing that the deadlines and cost are getting cut off when you print.

League sign-ups placed in the Ithaca Journal, Cortland Standard, The Shopper, and the Tidbits. There were also flyers at the Elementary School and Middle and High Schools. The suggestion was made to put it in the school bulletins that come out every month from the Elementary School. Also, check to see if it could be put in the District Bulletin. We can’t keep the registration open ended, there must be a deadline.
