I hope those that were able to attend found it worthy of their commitment of time.  For those that could not make it, or for those that did and would like to review the material presented, the detailed agenda can be found within.

We are now just 6 days away from our 2011/2012 AYSO Season.  The Elmhurst Ref Corps will be ready!  The final step toward that will be the Referee Kick-off meeting to be held at Fitz's Lanes on York road in downtown Elmhurst starting at 7pm.  We will be in the downstairs meeting room and snacks and beverages will be available beforehand.  New Laws of the Game and a brand new pair of fresh socks will be available for everyone.  New referees can also get the rest of their uniform and equipment.  Supplemental gear is available for anyone who needs/wants it.  We will also review the news within the region that effects us as referee.  And it is also a chance for new Corps members to meet, talk with and learn from returning veterans.  I hope most of you will be able to make.

There is no need to RSVP but people who cannot attend but who also need gear should contact me so we can figure out how to get you your stuff.  Also, I am still very much hoping for feedback from our 2010 Sophomore class on what things you think we need to be telling, giving or doing for our 2011 freshman referees.  Please email me (referee@ayso399.org) that information ASAP so we can incorporate it into the night's program.
