Season Wrap-Up: Odds and Ends Part I

Great to see everyone at the annual meeting on March 9. Hope to see as many of you as can make it to the banquet on March 26 at Casey's. Tickets are $15. If you're interested, contact President Gary Stewart (his e-mail address is on Arbiter).

Someone asked about our membership numbers for 2009-10. They are getting better by the day. As of tonight, we have 121 dues-paying members in good standing for next season. That includes several dual members and a few active/non-officiating (commonly called "inactive") members. I will update that figure again when registration with the IAABO national office is done, which happens in early April.

If you know anyone who's traditionally been a member but hasn't re-upped dues for next year yet, it's not too late. A link to the 2009-10 membership form is available on the Current Members page of www.iaabo23.org.

A reminder for those of you who are dual members. If you paid $68 in dues, please do not show up to the Board 23 test date in the fall for the annual NFHS exam. I'll stop you at the door. If you're only paying $68, that's fine, but you'll need to take the NFHS exam and get registered with the MPSSAA through your home board. But, if you paid $90, Board 23 can give you the NFHS exam and register you with the MPSSAA in the fall. If you paid $68 and want to go through Board 23 for this, all you need to do is pay the additional $22 to bring you up to $90 before the fall test date.

I'm sure there will be some more odds and ends that come up over the next several days and weeks, so be sure to check in with your Board 23 Blog from time to time. The MPSSAA boys' and girls' semifinals and finals begin tomorrow (Thursday) at UMCP and UMBC, respectively. Congrats to those officials selected to represent Board 23 and good luck!
