Treasure Report:
• Checkbook balance: $8,709. Outstanding items are partial payments from $3600 Ralia team registration, which is being applied to account gradually since club bank card only allows a set amount to be withdrawn per day.

Unfinished Business:
• Kim will move forward with company who provides 501c3 service so long as expenditure does not exceed $1000.
• Rec soccer changes: MMS to approve elimination of U9 from rec for 2012. Parents have had a year to digest information and to voice concerns. Board has heard nothing, even with 3 emails over the past 12 months. MMS to make U5/6 and U7/8 rec soccer 1 hour long each and to make rates even at $60. ($70 late fee). Gene Evers brought to the board’s attention that CRSC’s current Rec team selection process is not in compliance with US Youth Soccer. Board will investigate further and report findings next meeting. It was agreed that we must make appropriate changes to comply, but will delay official action until we know what the changes will be.
• Registration dates were discussed, along with idea of abolishing “late fee.” Discussion was tabled.
