Beefsteak Dinner

 West Morris Central Boys’ Soccer  - Minutes of Parents’ Club Meeting held July 24, 2007

 Attendees:  Chris Goodyear, Andy Pytlar, Mary Pytlar, Connie Stoll, Renee Weinstein

 Meeting called to order by Chris Goodyear at 7:50 pm .

 Andy Pytlar made a motion to approve the minutes of the June 5, 2007 , meeting; Connie Stoll seconded the motion.

 President’s Report:

Rutgers Summer Camp:  Some basic feedback on the Rutgers Camp was discussed.  The general consensus is that Rutgers is more of a  recruitment camp (maybe a good choice if the group of boys consists of a large number of Seniors).  In comparison to other camps the boys have attended in recent years, those geared more towards skill development, etc., would rank Bucknell, Penn State , Rutgers .

New Uniforms:  The cost budgeted for new uniforms was $3,500.  The actual cost for the new uniforms was $2,700.

Fundraising:

There will be no calendar this year.  We should consider the idea of a “soccer program” in the future.

We should consider doing a “Restaurant Night” as we did last year, where the club is given a percentage of the receipts of a participating restaurant on a specific night.

A 50:50 raffle is an idea for a fundraiser at night games.  We need to find out if we need a permit to do this.  We will check with Maria Summereau about this.

Membership:  It was decided to raise membership dues to $50.00 per player.  The dues for incoming freshmen will be $75.00 to include the cost of the Game Day polo shirt.  (Raising the dues covers the cost of the loss of the calendar.)

Committee Reports:

Membership Packets:  Chris Goodyear and Connie Stoll are getting together to organize material and information regarding membership, picnic, etc., to get the summer mailing out.

Picnic:  We are exploring the feasibility of catering the picnic this year vs. cooking hot dogs and hamburgers.  (We would like to avoid having to have several people standing outside the cafeteria cooking in the possibility of bad weather like last year, when they had a hard time getting the food to cook evenly in the wind and rain).  We are checking with local restaurants on the cost of doing this.

Old Business:

Night Game:  If there is a night game, it will be held at the school.  Using township fields does not make sense from a practical standpoint.

Videotaping Games:  Coach Ferreri  is contacting someone in the Art Department regarding videotaping soccer games for us.  We are willing to pay a stipend for this service.

Summer League:  This needs to be followed up on.  Since we are approaching late July, maybe the possibility of a tournament is something to consider.

New Business:

Sub Sandwiches:  The suggestion was made to consider purchasing sub sandwiches for the boys to eat on the bus on the nights they have away games.  (Some of the other sports teams already do this.)  We need to check into the cost of sub sandwiches, how many we would need to order, selections, etc., as well as delivery of the sandwiches to the busses on away-game days.

The next Parents’ Club meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 21, 2007 , at the Washington Township Library.

Andy Pytlar motioned to adjourn.  Connie Stoll seconded the motion.  The meeting was adjourned at 8:55 pm .
