Reading of the April 13, 2006 meeting minutes (Thanks to Andy Constantino for the minutes in my absence): One correction noted – the Northtowns Soccer chicken barbecue is June 10. Meeting minutes accepted.

Treasurer’s Report: Don Rogers presented his monthly report. Total checking and savings account balance for May 2006 - $79,155.83. Deposits are made and bills are paid. Treasurer’s report accepted. Copies of the reports are in the meeting minute archives.

Travel Report: Glenn Dolata reported the following:

· Glenn distributed chicken barbecue tickets and game balls to the coaches following the meeting.

· It is critical that field striping of the U-11 and full size fields be done before the Monday because of field usage.

· Registration for the Odenbach Tournament is on-line. Registration is $140. The Tournament will be at the West Seneca Soccer Complex this year.

· Glenn still has patches for $1.00 and hats for $7.00.

· Glenn will not be able to continue his many Club obligations next year so the positions of travel coordinator and field manager are open for the taking.

· When adding a player to the team roster, this must be completed 24 hours in advance of the scheduled game and Frank Huber and Roger Jank should be notified ASAP.

House Report: Glenn Dolata (Frank Huber absent) reported the following:

· The registration for the summer program is 840 and climbing with 240 players for the U-6 age group.

· There are 70 children registered for the Challenger Soccer Camp, which is up significantly over last year when there were 20 registrants.

Fundraising: Jerry Sullivan reported the following:

· Frank Huber will be coordinating the concession stand at the AIM Tournament.

· The June 10 chicken barbecue will be at the NT Middle School between the hours of 10:30 AM and 5:30 PM. Pre-sale ticket pricing is $8.00 before June 3 and $9.00 after that. Phil Bova is projecting 500 dinners and is requesting HELP – adults and children! Phil’s cell phone number is 523-8365.

· The adult’s only pig roast is July 22. More details forthcoming.

· The annual golf outing will be August 26 – information sheets were available at the meeting.

Old Business: None.

New Business:

· Glenn reported that the Club’s attorney is working with the Town of Wheatfield regarding 15 acres of land at Mario Park – lease or license issues.

· Jerry Sullivan emphasized the importance of travel coaches reporting on game reports if three officials do NOT show up for their games.

· Both Glenn and Jerry emphasized the importance of the Club’s fundraising efforts and volunteer involvement is needed. As the Club moves forward, expenses will increase so fundraising is critical for the survival of the Club’s objectives.

· Hyde Park concessions in Niagara Falls are being run by a Dave Garby and there could be some opportunity for Club usage.

Meeting adjourned at 9:04 PM.
