No minutes were available from the 02/02/2009 meeting.  They will be ready for the next meeting.

Treasurer’s report was approved.

Registration and Team Update:
Petition request for Devin Fritz to play boys U15 this year was accepted.  Player will need to petition on                                                    a yearly basis as these requests are only approved if there is roster space available.
Team registration submittal was approved for the following teams:
                Boys U17, U15, U14, U11 & U10
                Girls U16, U14, U12 & U10
Troy will notify U17 girls that registered that there will be no team this year due to low number of girls who signed up.  He will suggest that if they are interested that they could help out on other teams.
Tammy will verify all that is required if any girls are interested-minors do not need back ground checks, player’s passes are needed, etc.
Current team rosters were approved and players can still be added at anytime as long as there is space available.

Little Feat will be at Roosevelt lower field.
Maple Lawn field needs to be implemented into field directory/location on MYSA.
Association will pay for 2 tournaments for each team this year.  Anything above that will need to be paid for by the players.  Copies of tournament registrations can be given to Ann and she will write a check for the fees.
Teams will need to gather new medical release forms for all players/coaches for this season along with copies of birth certificates and photos for player’s passes.  Start collecting early.

Uniforms: 
Still seeking some info and checks from some players-uniform committee will continue to work on this.
1st uniform order has been placed.

Fundraising:
Bob P. is looking at changing up the fundraiser activity this year to keep it fresh.  He is trying to work out the details for a golf tournament at the Legacy-possibly seeking MN Thunder players to participate.  Also soliciting hole sponsorships would be needed.
Another opportunity would be to do a breakfast-Missy will check into this.
A suggestion from Missy to promote our FSA t-shirts and possibly gear bags as a way to raise money.
