The following summarizes news and notes from the Board:
Casino Night “Ups”
A big “thank you” to all who supported and attended our annual Casino Night Fundraiser. A lot of hours go into organizing this event and it could not have happened without the tireless effort of our many Team Fundraising Liaisons (Karen Singer, Chris Wagner, Wendy Ramirez & Alma Hernandez, David Scharf & Felecia Goldstein, Greg Capitolo, Ken Kuchman, Monica Planes, Jennifer Blackman, Shelly Guyer, Anna Coppola, Kelly Augustin, Bob Brown, Jill Monroe, Ruth Ann Smith, and Megan Topping), Ian Tonks, our Director of Development, and Norm and Kelly Augustin of United Markets who graciously provided the food at cost. Also, we appreciate the generosity of our sponsors and auction item donors, and those that had the courage to “bid high”. All in all it was a great event, with parents having an opportunity to relax and make some new friends, while raising $14,000 in support of financial aid and other club initiatives. Judging by the empty boxes and crates at the end of the evening, the new “all-you-can-eat-and-drink” format was certainly well received. Every event that brings the community together is a new opportunity to make a few more friends and hopefully it will improve club unity and spirit.

 Here are a few of the highlights and news tidbits from the month of January:
College Night
Leave it to the 49ers to take the NFC Championship Game into overtime! Despite a lot of initial interest, the game, coupled with inclement weather, limited attendance to about forty families. The event, nonetheless, was very engaging and enlightening, with insights provided by a panel of esteemed coaches representing five major schools: Stanford (girls); St Mary’s (girls); Cal (boys); USF (boys); and Dominican (boys and girls). An introductory 20-minute PowerPoint presentation was followed by an informative Q & A session that ultimately ran twenty minutes long. Feedback, from attending family members of our U15, U16 and U17 players, has been outstanding, and a copy of the presentation has been sent to the requisite Team Managers to forward on to interested parties.

 Marin FC caught up with Marin FC ’91 alumni and LMU student-athlete, Kyle Johanson. Here’s what he had to say:
Tell our readers a little about yourself.
I was born in San Francisco and grew up in San Anselmo. I went to St. Anselm for elementary school, Marin Academy for high school, and I am now finishing up my last semester at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. My parents’ names are Roger and Lori, and I have three brothers, Eric, AJ, and Patchy. Basketball remains my “other passion”. I played four years at MA and try to get out on the courts as often as I can.

 An Ode to Linesmen
They used to be called Linesmen, but now FIFA calls them Assistant Referees. Newly licensed referees often choose to do their first few games as “ARs”, thinking that easier than taking on the role of Center Referee. While that may be an accurate statement, let’s see what an Assistant Referee has to do before drawing any definitive conclusions.
