April 2010 TBSC President's Message

29-April-2010

Dear Coaches, Parents, and Players:

I know that there are concerns about the viability of the soccer club going forward after the discovery of our loss. We have worked through a majority of the financial issues and are now back in a positive and stable position. We are currently working with the local soccer associations in planning the fall soccer season. I understand that some players and teams may choose to leave the club and play elsewhere, but you will find that our registration fees are comparable or better than the other soccer clubs in our area. I want to assure the remaining members that we are going to be here this season to assist you and we plan to offer all of the services that we have in the past (practice fields, balls, uniforms, referees, etc).

The club continues to cooperate fully with the Lynnwood Police Department and the case has been referred to the Snohomish County Prosecutor's Office. The former club Treasurer is being cooperative and has paid the club back a substantial sum of the loss, which has bolstered the club's financial position. Since this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot release any additional details at this time, but be assured we are working towards full recovery of the loss. New processes and procedures have been developed which will provide oversight and accountability from now on.
