Meeting called to order at 6:05 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
Special guests: Brett Paige and Jamie Lull from Kalamazoo Kingdom
The minutes from the February board meeting were presented by Teresa Creech. A motion was
made by Missy Root to accept the minutes as presented; seconded by Kim Hays. Motion carries.
Teresa Creech, interim Treasurer, presented a balance of $1,513.02 in the checking account.
Future expenses were determined to be as follows: Referees, corner flags, paint for Middle
School field, $50 for raffle license, transfer monthly fee of $11.95 from Bill Creech’s account to
ACES account. The teams that used the Sports Complex field #4 lined and maintained those
fields for the fall season. Dave Root will confirm with those teams that they will do the same for
the spring season.
A concern was brought forward by T. Creech regarding contacting players and parents in an
emergency. Team Manager, M. Root said she would divide the team and give T. Creech,
secretary, half of the families contact information. This will expedite the process of contacting
everyone in a timely fashion. If possible, the changes will be posted on the website as well.
Next, the board heard from special guest Brett Paige. Paige provided the board with a brief
history of why their teams wanted to be a part of the ACES organization. Paige requested that
the teams from the Plainwell/Otsego area be able to play at Kenyon Park for their “Home”
games. Currently, they practice at Kenyon Park. D. Root will contact GVSA to see if that is
possible.
After much discussion about advertising for June tryouts, a motion was made by M. Root for
tryout advertising not to exceed $300. Motion was seconded by Rich Centala. Motion carries.
M. Root gave an update on the “Harley Fundraiser”. She has calls into the new owner of Grand
Rapids Harley. As of today, the owner has not returned her calls. M. Root did find out that if we
carry insurance on the motorcycle, we may be able to transport to events for selling raffle tickets.
In order to purchase a raffle license (needed for the Harley Fundraiser), we will need to change
the bylaws to incorporate a non-profit status forever. At the same time, it is proposed that we
change the name of ACES to “Allegan County Elite Soccer”. This will better represent our
bylaws of including all of Allegan County in ACES eligibility. B. Creech makes a motion as such
previously stated; Seconded by M. Root. Motion Carries.
After April 15, 2008, T. Creech will ask Mike Ivester or Lori Drozd what we need to do to file a
name change with the IRS.
The next board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 9, 2008, at the Pizza Parlor at 6:00.
A motion to adjourn was made by M. Root; seconded by B. Creech; meeting adjourned at 8:05.
