The June Board meeting for Region 337 was held on June 12, 2007. At Tommy Schumpert Park on Rifle Range Road.
Board Members attending: George and Pat Burgess, Drew and Becky Burt, Jason DeRosa, Vickie Easterday, Kellie Gilliam, Teresa Guy, Liesl Harrison, Mike Moody, Susan Unbehaun, Karen Batey Chris Mott, David and Michelle Rogers, Cat Seagle, Amy and Lynn Waller, Laura Walters, Melissa Range and Leanne Hinkle.

The meeting started with our new Area 5B Director Michael Mayes introducing himself and his wife and young son. He told us we were doing a very good job. Michael wants everyone to remember the five principals of AYSO. Michael talked about each one of the principals. He said that the Area Staff was here to support and to be a resource for the Region. Michael told the board that he planned on working on communication between the Regions and the Area staff. He said that George was doing a very good job and for everyone to give him their support. Michael said he would be pushing training on all levels.

There was no Treasurer’s report. We have bought new goals and done some field maintenance but should still be in good shape. Sharon Wise is going to step down from her Treasurer’s position. If anyone is interested, please let George know. If you have not turned in your individual budgets, please do so by June 30th.

We are starting a new season so everyone must update and turn in a new volunteer form. Volunteers may do it on line at eAYSO and mail it to Pat or bring it to the next board meeting.

Field Manager, Chris Mott reported that we have one U10 complete goals and a full set for U8’s. The sprinklers are currently working but will need work in the future.

Kellie Gilliam is working on the Regional Guidelines and will have her proposed guidelines ready for board members to approve.

Amy Waller (assistant R.C.) has talked to the county about the policy for dogs in county parks. They are not allowed; therefore, we can have signs made informing the public of the policy.

Region 337 will be able to send certain teams to the National games in Hawaii in 2008. Right now, it looks like it will be U12 girls, U14 girls and boys, U16 girls and U19 girls. Estimated cost is $30,000.00 per team. We need to decide how we want to form the teams and start fund raising soon.

The Region needs a new logo. There was talk of a contest for the players to design one.
There are new lockers in the storage building. Having stuff in an orderly fashion will be a great help for being able to find something.

Meeting adjourned at 8:10.
Respectfully Submitted,

Pat Burgess
Outgoing Regional Secretary
