Juneau Soccer Club is urgently looking for a volunteer to take over the task of writing the club's annual CBJ Youth Activities Grant. This is very important to the JSC. Typically, the CBJ grant makes up between 15-25% of the club's budget and is essential to keeping membership fees affordable. Estimated time commitment is a total of 8-12 hours actual grant writing and reporting through the year. Much of the JSC application has already been written. Each year portions of the grant need to be updated to reflect changes in club membership and needs for funds. The current grant writer is willing to work with the new volunteer to prepare the application this year.
JSC Board provides the information to be included in the grant. Volunteer should be reliable and conscientious given the importance of the grant to JSC; familiar with use of Xcel spreadsheets and Word documents; good tracking details; good writing skills. Previous experience writing grants is helpful but not necessary.
Timeline is:
January-February (application due March 1) - Preparation and writing of application (est. 8 hrs spread over a few weeks)
Mid-Late April - Revised budget spreadsheet submitted to CBJ after grants awarded (est. 2 hrs)
September - Prepare and submit budget spreadsheet reporting on how previous year grant was used (est. 2 hrs)

On Monday, December 7 at 7 PM in the Dimond Park Field House, a couple of young soccer players took time off from training to draw the four winning tickets in JSC's fall raffle. The winners are:
$2500: Tammy Morris
$1000: Michelle Workman
$500: Lori Fredenberg
$500: Doug Rountree
Thanks to everyone who helped make our first fall raffle a resounding success; thanks in particular to raffle coordinator extraordinaire Christy Odum. Based on sales of over $23,500, ticket sellers will be credited with about $8/ticket sold, comprising all profits from the raffle after paying for prizes and expenses.

JSC has developed formal club-wide code of conduct for coaches, parents, and players. The code outlines the expectations for behavior of members and adults during all club activities. Parents and players of competitive teams U12 and older will be asked to read and sign the code and submit the signed copy with their registration form for the 2009-2010 season. Click here to see the Code of Conduct. We ask all members and adults to read the code and follow it.
JSC has also formalized a club Complaint Procedure and a Player Disciplinary Procedure. We hope these clarify how grievances and player discipline issues will be handled within the club.
If you have any questions about the Code of Conduct, Complaint Procedure or Player Disciplinary Procedure please contact Director of Coaching Matt Dusenberry 586-3053 or JSC Board Chair Tom Paul 463-3214.
JSC has joined OneCause, which provides an online shopping mall, including Amazon.com and many other online retailers. When you shop online starting from the OneCause site, the retailers rebate a percentage of your online purchase dollars back to the Club through OneCause. Each calendar quarter, JSC will receive a check from OneCause and will split the funds 50/50 between the Club and individual player accounts, based on their individual online shopping rebates. There is no cost for using this service, and friends and family can use it as well, designating which account should receive the rebates. More information about this painless fundraiser can be found here, or go to www.onecause.com to sign up!
