Volunteer Needed for Club Treasurer
The Titans Board of
Directors is looking for a new treasurer.
Our current treasurer, Damian Laflamme, is hanging up his calculator
after three years of loyal service.
If you are an accountant, know someone who is, or have similar qualifications
and/or experience in accounting, please contact Rennie Marcoux, Vice-President
of the Titans Board of Directors at nicnat3@sympatico.ca. Damian is staying on until the
completion of the external audit but is anxious to pass on the torch.
Supported in his/her
duties by the managers of the various programs and the Club bookkeeper, the
treasurer, as set out in the Club’s constitution, “shall keep full and accurate
accounts of all receipts and disbursements of the Association in proper books
of account, and shall deposit all monies or other valuable effects in the name
and to the credit of the Association in such bank or banks as may be designated
by the Board of Directors. The
treasurer shall disburse the funds of the Association under the direction of
the Board of Directors, taking proper vouchers therefore, and shall render to
the Board of Directors, at its regular meetings, or when otherwise required by
the Board of Directors, an account of all transactions and the financial
position of the Association. The
treasurer shall also perform other duties and responsibilities that may be
determined by the Board of Directors.”

Schedule.
Thanks to those 18-U and 16U athletes who have already
signed up for their four volunteer shifts! Mark your calendars with
the days/time you are scheduled to referee. If you have not had a
chance yet to signup, check the on-line schedule to see where there are
time slots available where volunteers are still needed, and contact
Pierre Tremblay at tremblay.Pierre@rogers.com to sign up.
If you are not able to make your shift, please arrange for another athlete to take your shift and notify Pierre Tremblay
so he can update the schedule. Remember to wear appropriate clothing,
deck shoes and bring your whistle. Your high school volunteer sheet
will be signed at the end of the season. Further details will be
provided via the Titans e-News.
Athlete Representatives on the Titans Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has created a voice for the athletes and this
has been done by having two former Titans athletes take an active role
representing players on the Board. We have two spots for the athletes:
a male 'Athlete Representative' and a female 'Athlete Representative'.
Many of you may know Logan Seaman and he is our newest male athlete
representative,
we are still looking for a female athlete
representative. Attending monthly Board Meetings is a necessity as
current issues are discussed as well as items that will impact on the
future of the club and its athletes. For more information or to apply
with resume for this, please contact: Rennie Marcoux at
nicnat3@sympatico.ca
