June 6, 2008
Meeting called to order at 6:10 p.m. by President, Dave Root, at Allegan Pizza Parlor.
Attendance: Dave Root, Teresa Creech, Bill Creech, Kim Hays, Richard Centala, Missy
Root, Connie Urton, Brett Paige. Special guest: Randy Hays
The May minutes were presented by Teresa Creech. Motion was made by Missy Root to
approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Kim Hays. Motion carries.
The treasurer’s report was presented by T. Creech, interim treasurer. The checking account
has a current balance of $1,227.10. T. Creech sent another letter via regular mail to Rosa
Solis, mother of Jessica Solis asking for 2007-08 fees to be paid ASAP. Dave Root said he
would contact Dave Vandyke, coach of the USA tournament team on which Solis is playing.
D. Root will ask for assistance in colleting fees owed.
According to our bylaws, June is the month of our General Meeting. This would consist of
voting on expiring board positions and setting a budget. A motion was made by T. Creech for
the following: “To move the General meeting from June to July, the beginning of our fiscal
years, instead of the end of the fiscal year”. Seconded by M. Root. Motion carries. Richard
Centala suggested that we inform parents about the board positions available, at the tryouts.
Centala also has a neighbor (Ryan) that may be interested in the treasurer’s position,
currently being filled on the interim by T. Creech. Ryan is also a Certified Public Accountant.
Centala will try to get Ryan to attend the July meeting.
One of the items to be discussed at the July board meeting will be planning/revising our
budget for the 2008-09 fiscal year. We will begin with the original template that D. Root
generated and modify those numbers.
We have been informed by GVSA that they have been receiving “serious pressure” from
WMYSA regarding boundaries of each entity. WMYSA would like concrete borders; their
current border description says “Southwest Michigan”. After much discussion, it was decided
that GVSA will allow us to continue with their organization reserving the right to veto a team
within our club if its players are entirely from one area. Also, the ACES teams must practice
and play on fields recognized and insured by GVSA. Because of this rule, we will be losing all
of the Plainwell teams.
As we grow, it will be necessary to find additional field space. D. Root would like to sit down
with affected parties, Aaron Haskin (City of Allegan), Dave Delpiere (AYSO) and Centala from
ACES. We also need to estimate our filed usage needs. D. Root stated that we have a good
possibility of getting a solid three (3) teams and maybe one (1) more.
Brett Paige that the Kenyon Park tryouts have been canceled. He may have a girls U10 team
coming from Plainwell to play in ACES.
The number of volunteers needed for ACES tryouts was discussed. Must have four, but eight
would be great. Equipment needs and plans were also discussed.
Uniforms were discussed. Some concerns were brought up with regards to the quality of the
fabric of our current uniforms. Centala will look into different companies that offer soccer
uniforms and will get samples for us to view.
We have confirmed our participation in a fundraiser at the Poker Zone in Holland. We will be
working at the Poker Zone July 12, 13, 14 & 15. We will need two people working per shift.
We must overlap our times so we have two people from our organization there at all times.
We have available to us, additional dates to participate at Poker Zone – Mid August, and
multiple dates in November.
Questions have been raised as to what makes up our fees we charge our players to
participate in ACES. D. Root will figure out the breakdown and will email board members the
results.
The next board meeting is scheduled for Friday, July 18, 2008, at the Pizza Parlor at 6:00.
A motion to adjourn was made by T. Creech, seconded by M. Root; meeting adjourned
at 8:20.
