Dave Gantar at the Central Alberta Soccer Referees' Association AGM

Dave Gantar has been so kind to speak at the AGM of the Central Alberta Soccer Referees' Association (CASRA). For more detailed description, please see Bio.

They have dinner scheduled for 6.30 pm at the Red Deer Sheraton Hotel (310 50 Avenue • Red Deer, AB T4N 2X9), with David's presentation to start at 8 pm.

The CASRA are extending an invitation to the CDSRA members to join them for this event. If you would like to join them for dinner, please send an email to PJ Janson: pj.janson@uku.co.uk so as to aid in planning for arranging for sufficient meals, and advise of special dietary needs as required. The meal costs $30. Joining us at 8 pm for the presentation only is of course free.

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.
