ECFC Parent Meeting - Monday, 11/23 6:15pm

Dear ECFC Member Families,

As Vice President of Membership, I cordially invite you to participate in the upcoming Parent Meetings.  Parent Meetings offer you a one-a-year opportunity to meet face to face with members of the Board and Coaching Administrative staff to share your viewpoint on your (and your player’s) team level ECFC experience.  The meetings give Club leadership a chance to hear directly from you, our members, and provide you with a level of input that is simply not available in the various online surveys that we conduct from time to time.  It is a valuable exercise that not all clubs offer their members.
 
Your team’s meeting has been scheduled for Monday, November 23 at the Sandpoint Educational Center,  in Room 102 at 6:15 p.m.  Please mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend your team’s meeting.
