Dear Fellow Official,

 

Here is an update on ECBOA happenings and events:

 

*  We have three General Meetings scheduled for October including October 2nd (School Board), October 16th (John I. Leonard), and October 30th (School Board).  The meetings start at 7:00 pm.  You need three (3) General Meetings to receive game assignments, and four (4) General Meetings to be eligible for a playoff crew.

 

*  Be sure to check the calendar on our webisite (ECBOA.org) for key dates including testing and registration deadlines.

 

*  Reminder to register for ArbiterPay as game fees for public schools will be paid through ArbiterPary.  If anyone needs assistance contact Board member Lance Bradford or Joe Erwin.

 

*  October 16th will be our uniform donation meeting.  If you wish to donate referee shirts, pants, shoes, etc., please bring your items to this meeting that will be held at John I Leonard High School in the school gym.  This is great way to help fellow officials who may be in need of these items.

 

*  ECBOA-logo jackets will be mandatory for this season.  Danny Barkin is taking orders and you can fill out an order form on our website under Members > ECBOA Gear > Jackets. The cost is $47 and must be paid upfront.  Danny will be at the October 2nd meeting and will take cash or check.
