Bekel family donation: Bob Gilmore makes a motion to give $500 to the Bekel family.  Maureen Merrit seconds it, all in favor.

 

Jeff Chambers said the state policy for the U8 tournament is:

 

1) They will not participate on any travel tournament teams

 

2) Can’t invite festival/tournament

 

The state will not sanction, not insure.  We should stay U10 for the Veterans tournament.  In DIT we should U8 make part of the micro soccer.

 

 

DSSSF

 

Sharon Pollock makes a motion to have DSSSF to take place weekend after Veteran’s day.  Bob Gilmore seconds it, all in favor, no oppositions.

 

Jeff Chambers will chair and Janet Gargan will be the co-director.  Jeff MacInnis will co-chair and run the concessions.  We are going to call it “Festival” instead of DSSSF.  Jeff Chambers suggested cutting teams to 42, having kick off at 8:00 and the last game will take place around 3:00 or 4:00.

 

Jeff Chambers proposed to raise the festival fee from $225 to $250 a team.  Jeff Chambers makes a motion to raise the fee to $250/team and approve the $350 MYSA application.  Jeff Chambers will be named a director.  Tom McNulty makes the 1st motion; Bob Gilmore/Janet Gargan makes the 2nd.  All in favor, no further discussions, and no oppositions.

Should there be an intramural late fee?  Each level could have one; it was very effective for travel.  It should be DYS policy if a player is a “New” player to DYS there shouldn’t be any late fees.  Late fees are to prevent too many people signing up late and causing problems setting up the teams.  Late fee for intramural should be $35 after 07/01.  The motion will be that there will be a late fee for intramurals of $35 after 07/01.  Sharon Pollock makes a motion for the U7-U10 teams have a late fee of $35 after 07/01.  Bob Gilmore makes a 2nd motion, no further discussion needed.  David Tye opposed. Motion passed.

 

Janet Gargan nominated Dianne MacInnis to registrar for current term.  Bob Gilmore 2nd it, no further discussion.  All in favor.  Al Dedonato will fill in the role of the Intramural tournament Director. 

 

Motion to adjourn, Tom McNulty 2nds it, all in favor.

 

 

Jeff MacInnis; Meeting adjourned at 10:00.

 

The next meeting will be announced.
