Merger Voting Information and Instructions
Email Deadline is Tuesday April 20th before Midnight
Dear Palm Harbor Soccer Club Members,
Over the past several months, members from our club have been working with members of the East Lake Soccer Association to explore the benefits of merging our clubs, while working through potential concerns. We have been very impressed with the level of support throughout both clubs and truly appreciate the amount of effort our members have applied to vetting this idea in a positive manner.
While many post merger actions will be required, both boards and the established committees have worked through the common and unique areas of each individual organization to ensure our ability to become one club can be realized. For example the resulting organization will: continue to operate local Recreation Programs at Palm Harbor and East Lake field locations; the Competitive Programs will operate very similar as they do today allowing player and family stability during the transition; the Boards, Facilities and Staff will be combined into one cohesive organization allowing the player benefits to be realized while holding down cost of delivery.
In our last communication we announced a merger voting date and outlined a couple of items that would be provided in our next communication. Those items, Merger Voting Procedure and Proposed Fee Structure, are being provided at this time via the attached link to our web site. In addition, the Palm Harbor Nighthawks Board of Directors voted unanimously, at the April 2010 board meeting, to recommend that members vote in favor of the merger. Therefore, we ask that you review the materials and plan to participate in the vote later this week.
