*** Business meetings will continue to be held in my room at Cadillac High School Room #413.


***Pay the Association Dues (give this money to Penny, Mike Stump or Don Blue) a yearly fee of $40. This fee must be turned in by September 1st of each new year.

***Successfully participate in our new on-line rules clinic. More and more, the MHSAA and state associations are offering their rules clinics on-line. This saves gas, time, and is more flexible yet is still authentic. In a nutshell, the trainers for each sport will pose weekly questions/scenarios during the sports’ season to officials within their sport. Each official must research and respond to the questions within the following week. Officials MUST complete the questions posed. Trainers will keep track of participation and pass it on to our Association Secretary. (Penny) In this manner, officials may find themselves in good standing for some sports but not others.
