Tyson to confirm list of players who have been granted a refund and provide to Julia; Julia will advise players to make arrangements with Lee to return jerseys.
Brea to advise Victoria Royals that the Castaways FC will not pursue a 50/50 engagement at a play-off game this year, given we would need to sell 300+ tickets. Brea to advise them that we would be interested in a playoff game next year.

Presidents Report
Labour Day Tournament: Executive discussed the opportunity of running a Labour Day Tournament this year, versus focusing efforts on other potential fundraisers. Executive decided to not pursue planning for a 2018 Labour Day Tournament and instead focus on capitalizing on other opportunities, such as Royals 50/50 fundraisers (a regular season game in fall 2018 and a playoff game in spring 2019) and the Ironman fundraiser (Rose to look into options).
