Regular Meeting

PRESIDENT: If you need to reserve the Club House please contact Peter. If you need to schedule or reserve a field contact Mich or Rick. U-8’s are looking for more players to form another team. The U14 B girls asked to have the 12 C girls combine with them to form one team; neither team has a full roster at this time. Frank, Bruce, John, Helmut and Dave Pentkowski attended a Town Board meeting to address the restrictive lighting policy at the Commons. The Town requested that we put together a three-person committee to look into the situation. Helmut made the point we need to be able to utilize the fields better for the kids and stressed we shouldn’t become confrontational with the Town.
