Presidents Report
• The 50-50 fundraiser at the Royals game was a success and raised almost $3000 of the
50-50 tickets. Also learned how to build on success with tips related to quantity and
colour of tickets and that we need at least 20 people volunteering to sell 50-50
tickets next time. We have the option to apply to the Royals to sell tickets for a .
playoff game playoff, but maybe priority for teams with poor attendance games

purchase two new game balls, after the club already purchased last years’ game balls.

order by the end of the year.

files (e.g., minutes) to a shared DropBox folder and requested that executive send and
documentation or guides on their position so he can save in central location for next
executive members.
• There was a discussion on if the club should host the Labour day tournament. There was
a consensus that this tournament would be difficult to organize, and that the Royals

support the tournament if we could get enough volunteers.
