We’re a 501(c)3!

Hatgiving2014Valley Ultimate is proud to announce that we have been granted 501(c)3 status! We are very excited by this development and look forward to many more years of huge growth!

Here’s what else we covered at the 8/31/15 Board Meeting:

  • Registration is going well for the Fall Youth League. We are well on track to have at least 60 participants.
  • We are working to lock in a date for Hatgiving 2016, our annual Thanksgiving hat Ultimate tournament. We will post the date as soon as it’s locked in.
  • We are working on a plan to promote Ultimate in schools that currently have no Ultimate presence.
  • We’re going to continue to run a Western, MA BUDA YCC summer league location during the summer of 2016.
  • We will be ordered Valley Ultimate discs
  • We discussed ways to bring more people in to help out with Valley Ultimate.
  • We’d love to be able to pull in more volunteers! (Use this form to sign up to help out!)

1/29/15 Board Meeting

Here’s what happened at the last Valley Ultimate Board member.

In attendance: Tiina Booth, Jim Pistrang, Dan Kaplan, Jo Sleigh, Lee Feldscher, Terry Plotkin, and Josh Seamon.

Dan Kaplan is now the Vice President, which brings us closer to rounding out our four officer positions: Treasurer [Jo Sleigh], President [Josh Seamon], and Secretary [TBD]

We will be working to collect data regarding the community through a survey that Dan Kaplan will be sending out. We are also working to build the Valley Ultimate (broadcast) email list. We determined that we will send out one email (at most) per month to this master list. This communication method is different that the general discussion group that anyone can join and post to that is located right here.

We’re excited to continue our work operating a BUDA YCC Youth League site locations here in Western, MA. Season specific details are being ironed out and will soon be available.

We are working on establishing the best course of action in moving towards 501(c)3 status. We have found a local lawyer who is willing to help guide us through the process.

We may work towards becoming a USAU affiliate pending further research that is being done by Lee.

We discussed our potential 2015 goals. We are currently working to prioritize our goals and determine a final list for 2015.

The date for our next Board meeting will soon be determined and posted.
