"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Easy Peasy

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Priorities May Be Skewed":

"Now we know 30% of AYSC membership don't even live in Aurora."

No, we have one person speculate that the rep teams are comprised of that percentage. That supposition doesn't include the more numerous house league teams.

****************
That's  an easy one. Tomorrow when the office opens, I will call and inquire when the last audited  statement was filed with the Town.
I've never seen one  before. I understand they are required to meet the town's requirements  to receive the town' s  resident user fee.
A small  percentage of non-residents is permitted for minor sports organizations to be eligible.
It's some time since I had that discussion with the Director so I am a little hazy on  details.
At the time, AYSC was  registered non-profit  and had to file audited financial statements with another level of government. 
There was some question  about whether or not they had filed the required statement with the town, or whether the statement claimed to have been filed was the required statement for the other level of government. 
I was assured  the required  statement with the town was eventually filed.  I never actually saw it. I accepted the Director's assurance.. 
It's several years ago.
The question never arose again.
Until now.

Evelyn,

You can view the AYSC financial statements on their website, in plain view for all. There is mention of prior questionable accounting practices there. All under executive and management that are no longer with the club, but have influence with other sporting bodies throughout Aurora and with our town. If you read through all the reports from AYSC you can get a better feel where the club sits now.
Both sides, right?
