the Emmel check and Jonella will have Blenka help her do some of
the fundraising prep work.

Mary, Tim and Chris have been working on above.
A copy of the above proposed will be sent to members within the next week for

A couple of issues that this committee is working on addressing are:
Mission Statement
Cindy recommended that this statement needs to have incorporated
within it “opportunities for all children.”
Should the board allow a member to have voting rights if they have a
child(ren) who participate in competing soccer clubs? It is felt that
such is a conflict of interest.
