Committee Reports…
Competition:
Russ is looking at tournament recommendations early for
next spring due to a request from the coaches.
Money returning from the Tony Glavin Tournament is fees
minus $100. QUSC has agreed to pay any extra amount
needed in order for teams to participate in another
tournament due to the rained out Tony Glavin
Tournament.
Finance: Jim
reported the Club made $7,500 from the outdoor
tournament (after all expenses have been paid, but does
not include tournament ads). Between the Indoor and
Outdoor tournament, the Club cleared approximately
$12,000, with ads representing about ½ of what we made
in the previous year.
Fundraising:
$3,700 was made on advertising for the year; however
this doesn’t include the Civic Center or Toyota.
Rules and Bylaws:
Russ is working on the by law changes and will have them
ready before tryouts.
Activities:
The
Quincy United Developmental Group is holding an end of
season celebration at Wavering Aquatic Center.
Equipment:
Jim
Murphy reported that Dave Keck is trying to get sample
uniforms from Tim Tappe to have available for sizing and
viewing by the parents. This will aide in speeding up
the ordering process for the new season. This year the
Club will place two orders on uniforms; the second order
will be the High School age group.
Russ Meyer recommended building racks or obtaining a
storage facility for Club Property. Dave’s work
warehouse is difficult to get to. A more central
location is desirable.
Sarah Mueller asked about issuing new ball sizes. New
balls will be issued for age groups that will be
involved in this change.
Indoor Tournament:
No
Report
Outdoor Tournament:
Tournament report has still not been received by the
board. Pete has been made aware of this.

President’s Report
Dan
Brink reported that an Executive Board Meeting took
place June 6 @ 6:00PM at the America’s Best Value Inn.
Dan also reported that the new President will be seated
at the July meeting. Terry and Matt’s contract will be
decided at the July meeting. If you have any comments
or opinions about these positions, please attend the
next meeting. Coaching evaluations will be emailed to
all board members to complete.
Old Business
Greg Reis nominated Jim Murphy for the president’s
position. Greg has concerns about his ability to attend
the necessary meetings. Kathy Ginster nominated Pete
Little also.
New Business
An
Executive Board Meeting was held on June 8, 2007.
Topics of discussion were...
SLYSA
League, Tryouts, Developmental Program, Fundraising
Card, Player Fees, Hardship cases, League
Play/Tournament only play, U-15/U-16 Girls Teams.
Discussion
Jim
Thomas asked the board if we would consider changing our
rules about the girls’ season and League vs. tournament
play for U-14 and above. Also asked if we, as a board,
would be willing to visit with other traveling sports
(volleyball and baseball) to discuss making scheduling
convenient for all sports with girls in the 14, 15, 16,
& 17 year age group. Better communication on all the
sports’ part would make it more manageable for kids to
play multiple sports.
It
was noted that Kathy Ginster helped coordinate the
scheduling for the girls playing volleyball so their
season would be completed before soccer started.
An
August board meeting was suggested because of the
notification process of new members after tryouts and
paperwork for fall league play.
Dan
Brink reported that the deposit from Quinsippi Soccer
League (QSL) was returned on a timely basis. He noted
that he had a good conversation with the board
president. The executive board of QUSC recommends our
teams to play in the QSL and assist with scheduling
conflicts by informing QSL of our traveling plans as
soon as we know our schedules.
Dan
Brink will be calling IYSA about setting up a coaches’
clinic.
The
memory book, completed by Cassy Roth was discussed. It
is recommended that Nancy Dreyer should talk with Cassy
about getting a better quality finished product. Too
many stretched photos distorted many pictures, and a few
typographical errors were found.
It
was suggested to move the July meeting to the third week
due to many people being absent and because of the
voting of new board meetings. Dan Brink moved the
change and Russ Meyer seconded the motion.
Next Meeting
The
next meeting will be held Wednesday, August 8,
2007 at 7:00 PM at the Knights of Columbus.
Adjournment:
The
meeting was adjourned at 8:05 PM. Nancy Dreyer
moved that the meeting be adjourned; Mike Foster
seconded.
