Present: Bill Locke, Dick Prugh, Jen Gummer, Pam McCutcheon, Jack Dockery; Tim Guenzler
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 [delayed by the USA Women's World Cup game].
It was Moved, Seconded, and Passed (MSP) unanimously that the September 3 minutes be approved.
Tim listed the team coaches to date - he will update the Web page through Bill as new names become available.
The nominating committee is close to a full slate of candidates for the six open Board positions - a slate will be proposed at the November Board meeting for an early December vote.
Tim emphasized that tryouts will be held as necessary. Enrollments to date do not justify tryouts for team formation. Teams will be formed using October 15 numbers - all those who are on the fence about registering should make their decision (hopefully in favor of enrolling!) soon!
Risk Management has been covered with existing coaches - the coach contracts need to be modified to reflect a later start to the season (March 1 for first practice?) and a later finish - Tim will discuss with Rick Sojda.
Pam asked about fund-raising plans. Bill commented that all three options - team-specific, club-specific, and shared - need to be considered. We will probably have a Club meeting early next year, when the new Board is determined, to discuss such Club business as fundraising. Jack mentioned that some soccer suppliers offer a rebate to the club. Large orders (Micro?) are needed, and we would need to be certain that price and quality were comparable to other suppliers before we would consider such an arrangement.
Dick Prugh will meet with Mike Agnello sometime in the next month to discuss the Blitzz affiliation.
There being no further business (and the Red Sox playing!), Bill moved adjournment at 8:15 PM. Seconded and passed.
