March minutes approved.
Facilities and Field: Mike Allmendinger will get paint for field lines ordered. We are allowed to use the High school field and inside track field at Elementary school as backups.
Sr. Rec. League: The Senior Rec. League will have paid referees next year.
Tournament information: Bill Turner made it known that the Lansing coaches were pleased with the way our tournament was run. There were also comments made about our good concessions!
New Business: Bill Turner is going to check with King Stevens to see if he found out any information on a scoreboard/clock that he was going to look into. There were some parents who made comments that a scoreboard/clock would be nice for rec. league games. The scoreboard/clock could possibly be used outside as well.
The big topic of new business was volunteering time. There have been several folks asking if every parent should have to volunteer time or pay money if you have a child playing soccer. Peggy noted that it is stated on the registration form that parents are expected to volunteer time. Evan Kurtz suggested that a sub-group be put together to look at the volunteer issue. The group will first communicate through email and then try to get some time to meet. They will address some possibilities, like working on a point system based on what the child is signed up for, keeping in mind that it can’t become a bookkeeping nightmare. The subgroup as it stands now is Evan Kurtz, Peggy Westerling, Mike Allmendinger, Michelle Minnis.
The topic of scholarships also came up again. It was decided again that the scholarship issue needs to be on a case by case basis based on the coach’s input and cleared through the club president.
Meeting adjourned.
Next meeting: Monday May 8th.
