Each team must be represented by their manager, or a representative sent by the manager. This is done to ensure that teams are aware of the current activities/obligations of the club and the teams, and to make sure that the concerns of all families in MSC are represented at the meetings. Per the by-laws of MSC, teams must attend at least 70% of the meetings (7 meetings) per year. Any team in violation of this rule will be fined per the fee schedule adopted in October, 2010 (attached) V. Treasurer s Report: a) Spring Fees Janice reminded all managers that Spring fees are due no later than April 15 th. The fee schedule remains as adopted in October b) Auditor Janice asked the board to consider that as we are ready to seat a new Treasurer, and we have a new Secretary and President, that we have an independent auditor review the bookkeeping records for the past year. The idea was discussed, and it was decided that we would ask the former treasurer if he is willing to act in this role. Further discussion will be tabled until his answer is received. VI.
