Cascadia News: Football Federation holds first meeting

by Leonard Laymon, CAFF President

SEATTLE, Wash. — The first Cascadia Association Football Federation (CAFF) meeting was held at the Golazo Energy Drink headquarters in Seattle on Saturday January 26th, 2013. The first board of directors were also elected and will be announced soon.

The attendees ratified our by-laws as well as the official crest (same as on the jersey), flag, anthem (“Roll on Columbia”) and jersey (for application purposes only as a new one is being designed and will be voted on by members of the supporters groups of the three Cascadia MLS clubs.)

In addition we are setting up places for people to donate money to cover the N.F.-Board application fee as well as the cost associated with applying for 501c non-profit organization status in the United States.

The next meeting date, time and location will be announced next week after verification of available dates with their facilities coordinator. For the next meeting we hope to use a Web conference system for those of you can not attend the meeting in person. The CAFF meeting will be held after the N.F.-Board’s Annual General Meeting in Munich in late February so that we may include a report from our observer who will be present in Munich. We also hope to arrange for him to join our meeting via teleconference.

You can let CAFF know you are willing to volunteer your help by filling out this form.
