Review for Crowley Youth Association, Crowley, TX, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

Mike Flynn, Amber and Aaron Pistokache on this board of directors are allowing for money not to be turned in for fundraisers. These friends that are not turning in $90 fundraisers have still not paid since April 2009. Over $300 is not accounted for. The receipts, bank statements of this one baseball team have been requested and they will not release them. Mike Flynn said if people are leaving the organization, "GOOD LUCK TO THEM" and when he finally gave us the $600 for the boys party after the team was dissolved by the coach, he shorted us $153 dollars saying, "You actually think I was going to let the kids spend $600 dollars. After telling us in a board meeting in front of the organization that he would write a check for our party of $600. Receipts were fraudulently made up saying they paid money for tournaments we didn't play in that were at CYA, practices at batting cages we didn't have are missing and they will not provide proof of any bank statements.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

The treasurer defended the secretary before she even heard our side. She stated that the secretary is her friend. The coach says nothing and avoids confrontation. The president gets up in your face and tells you to get involved and go elsewhere.

Ways to make it better...

The board that is corrupt would leave.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

THE BOARD

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  General Member of the Public & Parent of a child on the team. These children worked hard at practice and games to earn the party from the funds left over. The last game, the coach told the boys that he would do something fun for the party, but to no avail. Two of us planned the party a.
