LINDA SORELLE |
| |
|
 |
Linda SoRelle
has served CYSA for more than 30 years, owning the supreme distinction
of being the District Commissioner with the longest record of service.
In the
1970's, while stirring a pot of tomato sauce for a spaghetti dinner on
league awards night at Thomas Elementary School, Linda hardly could have
foreseen the influence she would have on the lives of youth soccer
players in our region. Then elected League President, Linda went
on to serve as the League representative on the Fresno Junior Soccer
League Board of Directors, as well as registrar and secretary,
overseeing a League with over 9,000 active players.
|
|
While
involved with Fresno Junior Soccer League, Linda also served on the
League's tournament committee, ultimately becoming the tournament
director for five tournaments. Three of Linda's tournaments remain
active today, including the Golden State Invitational (now the Gerald
Badella Memorial Tournament), at one time among the most prestigious
tournaments in the State.
Linda was
later selected by District Commissioner Bob Crozier to serve several
positions at the District level, including Secretary, Treasurer and, in
1986, District Commissioner, a position she held for the next 20 years.
CYSA thanks Linda for her
years of exemplary service. Congratulations! |
