Why Are We Fundraising?

We need to share with you a couple of major expenditures that we’re facing for 2010-11. Two of the main items are:

1) addressing the water drainage problem at Zaun Field

2) improving some of our practice fields

Two years ago we delayed repairing our parking lot, which led to serious issues during our outdoor tournament that year. We still have some drainage problems which have not been addressed, and we would like to be proactive in resolving them as soon as possible.

With regard to the practice fields, many of them are in poor condition. This makes training difficult, even dangerous, for our players. This is a problem about which our coaches have voiced considerable concern, and it must be remedied. Unfortunately, these maintenance projects are expensive.

Rather than raise the soccer registration fees to the level required to cover these expenses, the GSC board is exploring fundraising options.

Thank you for your support in our quest to keep fees reasonable while maintaining a quality club.
