There are really only two associations in this area. One is the "main" association that does all high school games. This is Juulie's association. The other is in the suburbs and does only rec games, so you see, she is in the "right" association for what she wants to do.
BTW - the commissioner of her association has been around since before dirt was invented, is a legend around here, is omnipotent and is a former long time member of the NF rules committee - so pretty much you do what he wants or you are OUT!

And you have filled me in on what those are, and I appreciate the advice!! I plan on doing well tonight and don't expect a lot of difficulties -- and if there are any I am in a frame of mind to handle them well.
About politics, one advantage I have is that I am female. It appears that I can avoid some of the "competition", because my genes are in demand. I'm not going to use that against anybody, but I don't see why I can't take full advantage of it. Howard treats me a little condescendingly, but who cares? If coaches are asking for women refs, (and players BTW) and Howard thinks I'm okay, then I'll get to move up next year.
Peter, you are right about finding a good mentor. How does one decide who a good mentor would be? What do I look for?
