Al Haag made a motion to accept the minutes, Lee Pandiani second, minutes accepted. Treasurers Report: Tom Moore reported that Karen Curcio informed him that she would be resigning as treasure. She will stay till we get a replacement. Tom stated that She worked extremely hard to organize our files. Karen feels that the next treasure will have a much more organized system. Karen will file our taxes for the 2006 tax year by mid September. We have approximately $13,000.00 in the checking account before the fall registration money, and $8,100.00 savings, 8,000 and 3,800 in C.D. savings. Still have to pay referees and a few other bills. Some sponsor checks are still coming in. Tom will have Barry Curcio post the treasurers position on-line. Tom asked all members to assist in finding a new treasurer Vice-Presidents Report: Bart Soriano reported on parent comments about spring season. He recommended that we concentrate on footwork with the Mites and U-8 levels. Bart felt we didnt need professional for those levels. He would like to have the professionals work with the U-10, U-11, and U-12. Bart felt that we should only have the lower groups wear pinnies instead of uniforms. He also felt we should run pool league were the children would have a team but would be divided in a group each week so the emphasis would be on developing and not winning. This would provide more touches to the ball. Members had many questions about his proposal. Tom asked him to write his plan out so the members could review. Boys Director Report: Lee Pandiani talked about our numbers for the fall season. Tom commented that Lee and Al had work tirelessly to provide teams for all players who signed-up. The board was clear that Lee had their support when determining where players were placed. Lee assured the board that he would do everything in his power to have the U-11, U-12 and U-14 teams ready for the opening season. Girls Director Report: We had six U-14 girls sign-up. Steve stated that he would take the six girls on his U-14 boys team. Tom praised Steve for adding six players to his roster. Registrars Report: Al Hagg reported that the new on-line system was extremely difficult to use. South Central was fining us for mistakes in the program. He spent two hours with Joe Zizeck who worked with Al to fix the problems. We are not the only club with these computer system problems. Joe will talk to Joe Duffy about the fines. We will still have to pay them and hope for a refund. Al reported 44 players for this fall season, 9-U12, 19- U14 and 16- (6 players are U-12 age division) U-11 Boys. We need more U-12 players. Al would like to start earlier on registration. He would like passes done before March. Al reported that he didnt think mail-in registration were worth the aggravation. People who used it frequently didnt follow the instructions, which caused him additional work. Tom commended Al for all his time and effort. Al gave up several vacation days to fixing registration errors. District Rep. Report: Ray stated that South Central experienced numerous problems with reporting scores. No fines were recorded because the system had too many errors. Now referees must fill-out game cards with scores. This way South Central has a back up if there is a question about the score. Computers given to South Central from Fiser (laptop) will be given to each registrar of a club to be used for online reporting. In-Town Directors Report: We still need an in-town director. Tom continues to recruit. He will send the information to Barry for posting on our web site. Presidents Report: Tom reported that  HYPERLINK "mailto:CL@P" CL@P is still working with us to finalize connecting the electricity to the Midstate building. Dicks will supply us with equipment for the spring league. Dicks sent vouchers for equipment to YMCA and their employees cant find them. Tom will call Jeff, Dicks Store Manager and clarify the situation. Tom will pick-up the equipment. Tom stated that Midstate and Kronenberger Fields would need to be lined before the season begins. Dicks' will host two registrations day; November 17th and December 7th. The registration committee will determine registration times at a later date. Tom Moore adjourned the meeting at 8:15 p.m. The next meeting of the Meriden Soccer Club will be held at the Meriden Y.M.C.A. on September 18, 2007 at 6:30p.m. Respectfully Submitted By: Joe DiNino Secretary Meriden Soccer Club ^egs   H^ H*0JjU jU 5CJ\CJ7X{|}]^r s   GH12$a$2LM @ ^@ `$a$ 1h/ =!"#$%DyK CL@PyK mailto:CL@P i8@8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@< Default Paragraph Font.U`.
