Committee Reports…
Competition:
Nancy Dreyer asked whether the tournaments for next year
would remain the same as this past year. Greg Reis said
basically they would remain the same, with an exception
to the Kansas City tournament. If the tournament is
held at the same fields as this past spring, the Club
would not attend. The fields were not in very good
condition, potential for ankle injuries.

Reis reported that he has contacted Jerry Kettler,
Manager of the new County Market store about being a

Parents will be reminded, that although the Club does
not have the expense of uniforms for the spring 2009

and that the fees they pay currently do not cover the
expense of uniforms without the help of our sponsors.
