Reports
Executive Vice-President: Frank attended a meeting
for the Schuylkill Valley Soccer League.
Vice President Travel: Jim has been working
with the boys' and the girls' side ODP.
Vice President Recreation: Bob is in Chicago.
Tom reported for him that the rec. festival in Hazelton
was a huge success. The next one is scheduled in Fox
Chase in two weeks.
Treasurer: Ned observing the Jewish Holiday.
Tom reported that finance committee did have a meeting.
New members were appointed, because a couple of people
needed to be replaced.
Registrar: The rec. league registrar's now have
access to their data in the online system. Youth Leagues
remedied the problem at no cost to EPYSA. Blank passes
are now available, but YLUSA has not yet developed the
Acrobat PDF format needed for us to use them. Donna
is applying pressure to YLUSA to get this done.
SYRA: They re-scheduled the women's clinic that
they were supposed to have in June to be held at Twin
Valley. They sent out 440 letters to female referees
in the area.
Exec. Director's Report: On vacation.
President's Report: We received our check from
Adidas for sponsorship from last year in the amount
of $9,934.24. Topton Soccer Club is looking for admittance
into the association. Jim reported for Tom that we looked
into a proposition presented to us by North Star Mortgage
a couple of months ago. Jim checked with a couple of
different people to find out if it was in violation
of RESPA and the deal was probably illegal.
