The 74th CRAOA Banquet will be held on April 8, 2011 at the
Touch of Class with the speaker yet to be determined. Charlie Porter received the top score on the
basketball Part II test with a 95%. Reminder to update the Arbiter as soon as you can. Over 640+ basketball games were serviced by
the Association this past season by 80 or more officials. Thank you for your dedication.
Joe Schmall
was asked by the Executive Committee to present changes to the CRAOA
constitution. Changes were to eliminate
the need to take the Part II test requirement as the test is now online and an
official has three (3) opportunities to pass with a 75% or greater. If someone happens to fail they are still
capable of working Junior High games but will not be eligible for Varsity
games. It was moved by Joe Schmall and seconded by Patrick St. John to make the
changes to the constitution. Motion
carried.
Jeff Drahozal
addressed some additional items to be looked at…
1)
Article

Replace the word “must” with “are
recommended to”
Motion
presented by Patrick St. John and second by Steve Hamilton. Motion carried
2)
Requesting
to have personal information removed from CRAOA website or to have the website

like this information to be removed they just need to submit a request to the
executive secretary to have this done.
