M.U.T.S. minutes:  Thursday Nov.  12, 2009

Members present:  Bill Blair, T. Littlefield, Sharon Keefe, T. Murphy, Rocco Regina, B. Walkley, J. Whitney, T. Doran.

Call to order by B. Walkley (Club President) @ 8:10p.m.

*Team registration::  as per B. Walkley (President) the club needs to know what leagues the teams will be registered for the Spring, 2010.  With the December meeting possibly being cancelled, an e-mail will be sent out to have all coaches confirm their team attendance; be advised that our club is now registered within MAPS (United, Revs), and possibly JAGS (Hurricanes) for this Spring.

*Field Maintenance:  Field # 5 never had nets on goals during the Fall rec. season (there were no travel teams that were scheduled to play on those fields.)  There will be two 3v.3 fields lined for use during the winter months; on milder days, they should be playable with line markings being made as needed by B. Walkley & R. Regina.

The last game of the season for the club, will be the Ironmen on field # 4 (11/22); adult leagues will have games scheduled in December, & will use the field & remove nets after their last game.

Out of the 2 discarded/removed large size goal posts, 1 was cut up for scrap & left in an unsafe manner within the treeline at the soccer complex;  the remaining goal post was placed for team warm up(s) off the east flank of field #7.  Discussion followed to have various teams possibly paint/decorate goalpost at some point in the Spring.

*Fundraising:  reviewed by S. Keefe/R. Regina.  To hold annual rollerskating event in Jackson on Super Bowl Sunday (2/7/10); proceeds/credit would be given to each team for their team attendance.  Discussed a “Cash for Gold” fundraiser at some point; also, a spaghetti dinner or breakfast for the club at some date in the future.

*Financials:  reviewed by J. Whitney (Treasurer).  Discussed invoices for various club expenses pertaining to gym rentals from the B.O.E. & filed linings.  The board decided to raise Spring fees from $15 to $20 per player for each season of play.  Also, e-mail copies of each teams checking acct., will be sent quarterly, or when there is activity within that respective account (checks cashed or deposits made…)

Uniforms:  Club design with Diadora will soon be out of production; club needs to collectively decide what design/brand we will go with as we need to have club uniformity (team bylaws state that we have to stay with our colors of blue/white).  Discussed having a rep. from a uniform company, or personnel from Effingers to display some lines (Diadora, Umbro?...)

Meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.

Minutes respectfully submitted: MUTS secretary/Tom Murphy
