Dixon Soccer Club (DSC) Board Elections June 7th

Dixon Soccer Club (DSC) Board Elections will be held Monday, June 7th from 7:00 - 9:00pm at the Dixon Middle School field concession stand behind the school.

• Are you a member of the Dixon Soccer Club?
• Are you planning to have your child(ren) playing recreation soccer this year?
• Were you aware of the NEW BY-LAWS that go into effect the day after the Board Election?

Soccer has long been a major recreational sport in this area with the Dixon Soccer Club facilitating the resources that enable our youth to enjoy "The Beautiful Game". Recently, there has been serious turmoil shaking the very foundation of the Dixon Soccer Club with new leadership, new rules (e.g. By-Laws), and little participation by the overall membership to decide what direction shall be taken in the near future. The voting on the By-Laws was decided by only 36 people total!

When you consider that their are two (2) groups running for the officers positions which is six (6) per side and twelve (12) overall, that leaves 24 people not directly running for office to vote.
