The CDSRA Referee Kit Donation Program (RKDP)

The RKDP is accepting donations of referee shirts, shorts and socks.

A very worthy cause, the RKDP distributes referee kits to referees-in-need in the home-countries of our ex-pat membership.

So, check your referee closet; if you have any material you'd like to donate, please bring it Tuesday.
