League hosting a reception honoring Jan Luton October 26th
The Quad City Women's Soccer Association will host a reception honoring Jan Luton, the league's first and only director, who is retiring after 70 seasons (2 seasons per year for 35 years)! Players, past and present, and friends of Jan are welcome to attend.
The reception will take place on October 26th 6:00-8:00 P.M. at Riverdale City Hall, located at 110 Manor Drive, Riverdale, Iowa (across from Alcoa behind the fire station). If you would like to stay for dinner, please bring a dish to share. Otherwise, stop by and have a piece of cake!
Jan and a group of ladies started the recreational soccer league for adult women league in 1980 because they loved the game of soccer. Jan has participated and run the league for each of those 70 seasons, maintaining teams from across the Quad Cities that have included Bettendorf, Davenport, Rock Island, Moline, Palmer Chiropractic, Scott Community College, Van's and the "Baby Momma Flyin' Monkeys", just to name a few. Adult women with various abilities are always welcome to join the league.
"Jan's love of the game and dedication to this league is amazing. I get asked why there isn't a Quad City Men's Soccer league and I tell people that its because they don't have a woman like Jan to run it", said Chris Cournoyer, a member of Jan's Bettendorf team.
