New Topics/Review

  • Comet Cup – Concessions ran well, t-shirts made money, we plan expand the number of teams participating next year, volunteer coordination went smoothly, referee coordination was good, and positive feedback was received by all of the teams who participated on the rain date (April 30th). Last year we profited approximately $1,000, while this year we profited approximately $4,000. Will budget to profit $6,000 next year if we expand the tournament. Thank you to all the volunteers!
