Committee Reports…
Competition:
No report
Finance: Jim
Murphy reported for Lori Schulz that the Club lost $231.
for the year; with the Club being a “not for profit”
organization, this is okay.
Fundraising:
The fundraising card sold last year saved the parents
approximately $14,000 in player fees. Planning for the
fundraising card for the 2009 spring season is underway
and the company we are working with will receive $2 per
card if they get the sponsors for the card or only $1
per card if we get the sponsors. The Club made
approximately $1,400 last year from card sales. The
majority of board members present agreed to let the
company get the sponsors and give them $2 per card to do
so.
Rules and Bylaws:
No
Report.
Activities: Jim
Murphy reported that the end of the year party isn’t
going to take place and is looking into a “Kick Off”
party in January.

No
Report
Merchandising:
Mike Foster has offered to sell Quincy United
Merchandise in his store that is located at 24th
& Sycamore. Anyone wishing to purchase Club Apparel can
do so there.
Indoor Tournament:
A
St. Louis team has contacted Jim wanting to know the
dates for our 2009 indoor tournament; The Club needs to
get approval from K & L Arena for the dates and the
rental fee amount.
Outdoor Tournament:
Jim Murphy and Greg Reis are setting up a meeting with
the Quinsippi Board President to finalize the 2009
spring contract. Jim Murphy reported that he and Tony
Reis met with Gerry Kettler, Manager at County Market
about sponsoring our tournaments. He was very
interested and had several good ideas. Eric Peters
suggested he could get the Johnsonville Brat Trailer for
our tournament or use it possibly for a separate
fundraiser.
Newsletter: No
Report.
Website:
Jim Murphy reported that updated scores for league and
tournaments have been posted on the website.
Vice-President’s
Report
No
Report.
Director of
Operations Report
Terry Bower reported that he had a bill from County
Market that he didn’t know if it was correct and asked
Lori Schulz to look into it. Terry thanked everyone for
helping at the tryouts. He also asked about the refund
that was coming to Dave Keck’s U12 G team from the M C
United tournament that had been rained out this past
spring. We have not received the money and Jim will
look into the situation.
Director of Coaching
Report
No
Report.
President’s Report
Jim
Murphy reported that this year’s tryouts had the most
player cuts ever noted. Many kids came to tryouts for
the older age groups. Jim reported that one U9 boy’s
team will travel this spring to tournaments; one U9
Developmental team will travel to a tournament.
SLYSA has secured fields in the St. Louis area so that
the fall soccer league can be played. We have two boys’
teams that are registered for this fall – U12 boys and
U14 boys. SLYSA reported to us that these same fields
will probably be used in the spring of 2009 also, if
their fields are not ready in time (due to the 2008
flood in the St. Louis area). SLYSA is looking into
making two turf fields when rebuilding the complex. Jim
also reported that he would be attending the SLYSA
scheduling meeting this fall.
Old Business
Jim
Murphy recommended Lori Schulz continue in the
Treasurer’s position and Greg Reis to continue in the
Vice President’s position; both agreed they would
continue.
New Business
Discussion about Executive Board decision took place.
Some discussion about the way coaches are paid,
currently at the first of the month may change to be
paid at the end of the month.
Discussion
Eric Peters asked what the guidelines for tryouts were;
are they IYSA guidelines or Club guidelines. Terry
Bower reported that they are Club guidelines that are
used for tryouts.

next meeting will be held Wednesday, July 9, 2008
at 7:00 PM at the Knights of Columbus.
