September 11, 2007 Meeting Minutes – (A. Caschera) Minutes were reviewed. A motion was made by L. Maliszewski and seconded by R. Beerle to approve the minutes as submitted. All in attendance were in favor. Motion carried.

Treasurer's Report - (B. DiBella) Bob presented the treasurer's report and reviewed the summary and transaction report as of September 30, 2007 and stated that the account is still in great shape. A motion was made by D. McDermott and seconded by L. Maliszewski to accept the treasurer’s report as submitted. All in attendance were in favor. Motion carried.

Fields/Grounds – (A. Caschera) Fields were fertilized. Discussion was held regarding losing power in the concession stand and all is fine now. We have changed the fixtures in the bathroom. Angelo Madia is doing a great job with the fields. In order to cut down on field maintenance expenses, it was suggested to look into a lawn mower with a bag on it. After some discussion, it was suggested to look into a mulcher for the present mower instead of purchasing a new mower. Angelo will get an estimate.

CDYSL – (T. Ward) No report at this time. The next CDYSL meeting will be later this week. The club is looking into a fund raiser with popcorn through CDYSL.

Fall Rec – (D. McDermott) The Rec program is through five weeks with very little incident. Mario said refs are doing a great.

Registrar – (A. Bush) CDYSL is not requiring player signatures. If playing Session I, Angela will need birth certificates for new players, risk management form (cost is $12 – club will reimburse), player photos, signed conflict of interests from the entire team within the next week. Dave mentioned that a lot of people are registered but have not completed the registration process. There’s a box entitled “check out” and it must be clicked and a form of payment is needed. Once this is done, the registration process is complete. Coaches were informed that any player not registered or paid in full, they will not be able to play because they will not be insured and a uniform will not be issued.

Discussion was held regarding RYSC policy regarding procedures/request for a player to move up into a different division. The coach must submit a letter to the board stating the request. Rita mentioned that a uniform form needs to be filled out. This form will be emailed to all coaches. Coaches must fill it out and returned to Rita by October 14. You will find all of the information (except for uniform #) on the spreadsheet that was previously emailed to everyone. At this time, we need a head count as far as sizes so don’t worry about player #. We will get that information at a later.

New business – Indoor practice space was discussed and each coach in attendance chose their time slot. Practice time will begin on November 1. A representative from Halfmoon Sportsplex came and made a presentation to the board. LeeAnn discussed Club discounts for each team. Ideally, if 8 teams register to play Session I each team will receive $75.00 off the registration fee of $850. They are willing to work with our Club if less than 8 teams register. An email will be sent out asking who is interested in playing Session I at Halfmoon. Then the Club will contact Halfmoon with that information so that the discount will be applied at time of registration.

The next Board meeting will be held on Tuesday November 13, 2007. Board members will meet at 7:00pm and the general meeting will be at 7:30pm at the Colombo Club.

With no other topics to be discussed, a motion was made by B. DiBella and seconded by L. Maliszewski to adjourn the meeting at 8:55pm. All in attendance were in favor. Motion carried.

Respectfully submitted,

Fil DiCristofaro
