2/21/2009 12:08 PM: Cheryl Kraus retires from Arsenal Board of Directors
The Aurora Arsenal Soccer board would
like to express an extreme thank you to Cheryl Kraus, who has been on the board for over 21 years! Cheryl has been
the club's treasure for most of that time. Many of our young referees know her from the Saturday mornings in which
they peddled over to her house after refereeing a few house games to collect their payment. Behind the scenes,
Cheryl collected well over 20 000 pieces of mail received to our post office box and directed them to the appropriate
board member. She very professionally kept track of club funds and expenses which is a big reason
why the membership value to our club is so high. Our club has run very smoothly with such a dedicated volunteer operating a very important postion
on the board. Cheryl is now retiring from the board and will enjoy watching her grandsons play Arsenal soccer.
Thank you Cheryl for expert dedication to our club!

02/21/2009 9:00 AM: East Aurora High School Coach, Kevin Beale Letter
Below is a letter from Kevin Beale, East Aurora High School Soccer Coach, to the Aurora Arsenal Soccer Club,
recognizing and thanking our club for our the development of our club players.
Dear Arsenal Board and Friends of Soccer,
This letter is well over due. As the coach of the East Aurora Boys Varsity Soccer team,
I consider myself to be very lucky to be a part of a great program. The Arsenal Soccer Club
has provided me with 12 great years of soccer at the High School by successfully training upcoming
players. This past year our team, our boys, made a first ever trip to the NY State HS State Final 4
at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta. Since the State Finals began in 1979, East Aurora is
only the 5th school in WNY to even advance to the Final game. It starts with the community, at the
grass roots level. It starts with you, the Arsenal Soccer Club and all the time and efforts that so
many have given to the club. I have been lucky to coach so many great players and even better young
men over the years, I can not say, nor is it fair to say, that this was the greatest team yet, but it
can be safely said that it was the greatest achievement an East Aurora team has accomplished. It can
be considered a culmination of all the efforts of the Arsenal Soccer Club. You should be proud, we would
not have made the trip to Oneonta without you.
Whether our team is 10-7 or Sectional Champions making it to a State Final, we have enjoyed the sport of
soccer and played and treated the game with respect. You should be very proud of the players/people you
have developed. Young Arsenals have grown up to represent their High School and some players have
continued their game at the College Level.
Coaches, keep up the great work. Continue to stress skills- dribbling, receiving, attacking, striking balls,
defending, decision makers, sportsmanship, and let them have fun. Let them enjoy the game, give them the
game. Better players make better plays, not systems. Heck I don’t even know what system we played, we
just outplayed, and outcompeted our opposition. Again, it all goes back to the grass roots level, the
Arsenal Soccer Club.
Thank You,
Kevin Beale
East Aurora Boys Varsity Soccer.
