Outdoor Soccer Registration, February 28, 2012

It is snowing outside but it is time to start thinking about spring - and that means soccer. Children ages 3 to 10 may register for soccer on February 28th from 5 to 7 p.m. at W. P. Bate School, 2500 18th Street West. Children playing with Meadowgreen teams are part of Saskatoon Youth Soccer and thus will be playing in Meadowgreen and other communities in the City. Parents will need to transport their children to games once a week in May and June. There will also be a soccer practice once a week and the day will depend on the team's coach. Soccer begins May 1st (weather permitting) and ends the last week in June.

Soccer Registration fees stay the same as last year Under 6 and Under 8 at $50 per child and Under 10 registration fee is $65. Please note that soccer fees may be covered by applying for Kids Sport funding. For more information about Meadowgreen soccer or to volunteer to help, please contact Yvonne at 955-0035.

February Community Association Meeting

The Meadowgreen Community Garage Sale will take place on Saturday May 28, 2011. The event will take place at individual homes in the community and will be advertised as a community event.

The sign that will be going up on the corner of 22nd Street and Witney Avenue will be the stone design. Once the final design is decided the sign design will be posted for everyone to see. Stay tuned for more information. The Community Association will need to fundraise to build this sign so if you have any fundraising ideas please talk to an executive member. As well if you are able to help with building the sign we would love to hear from you.

Plans are underway to install a memorial cairn in Dutchak Park (the old W. P. Bate School site) on the 300 block of Ottawa Avenue South. Bricks from the old Bate School were saved and they will be used in constructing the memorial cairn.

Outdoor soccer registration will take place on March 1st from 5 to 7 p.m. at W. P. Bate School. Kids ages 3 o 10 are welcome to join in this fun outdoor activity. There will be a weekly practice and one game a week from May to mid-June. For more information contact Yvonne at 955-0035.

February Executive Meeting, Feb. 23, 2010

Sample of possible W.P. Bate (old site marker)

The Meadowgreen Community Association discussed many issue at the Executive meeting on February 23rd. The following items were discussed and many decisions were made:
a) Soccer - The CA decided to adopt the Saskatoon Youth Soccer job description for use in Meadowgreen. The outdoor soccer registration fees, which will include a free t-shirt, are $40 for the under 6 and under 8 players and $55. for the under 10 players.
b) Newsletter distribution - There are still a few blocks in Meadowgreen that do not have a person to deliver the newsletter. If you can help, contact Pat at 382-6514.
c) Community Barbeque/Safety Fair - Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 - Still looking for ideas as to what types of activities to include. If you have any ideas, please pass them on to an Executive member.
d) Meadowgreen (Welcome)Sign - The Executive has decided to place the "Meadowgreen Welcomes You!" sign on the corner of 22nd and Witney Ave. No decision has been made on the type of sign.
e) The W.P. Bate marker - A decision was made to see if a marker could be made that is similar to the Canada Heritage Markers. More investigation is necessary. An example of this sign is the one on 2nd Ave North - the old Western Producer Building.
f) MCA donated $200. to the Mount Royal Collegiate 50th Anniversary Celebration which will be held on September 25th, 2010. More information may be found at www.mountroyal50.com
