We are continuing our process to expedite referee payment
again this season and that again will require everyone's help.
Signed vouchers are still not needed however, Monday after the
weekend just refereed, the assigned referee will confirm that
his/her assigned crew showed for the game or identify who did show
for the match. They must email this information to Dick Tarsney who
will then create a bi-weekly database for payment that will be
mailed out within the next 5 working days. All referee's who are
working matches this season will need to send your mailing address
once for the system - even if you sent last season - so please email
Dick your full address ASAP to
 
 
If you do not confirm what you have worked or send Dick your address, the
club can not process payment in this timely manner.
