Rules- Mark Gauzza |
|
The consensus among the board members was to enforce the new bat rules at the beginning of next season. We also decided that we would purchase two differently weighted bats that both teams could share. Question from Craig Stokarski: Will the league send out information about the new bats? When registration will open we will make sure to have flyers for sign ups. Mark put copies of bylaws and constitutions on the back table. He stated that if a nonprofit organization all board positions can only run for one year. Article 5 section A states current president if challenged by someone else then the current president cannot run. |

PRESIDENT’S REPORTS

President’s Report - Anthony Marusco |
OLD BUSINESS
|
We have only had one rainout. Out of the five requests to make up we have already made up four of them. Last year was a trifecta. BYC, Tri-county, and Aston Valley. It was nice to have two facilities. Snack bar has been good, pizza is good, hotdogs are a little expensive. If you see that it is raining out please come down and help get the fields ready. John Howe stated “Dan Campbell has done a great job with fall ball.” Anthony asked Amanda Doyle for an update for sponsorship. She updated the form and it will be placed on the website. As soon as fall ball is done we would like to fix the pitching mounds on minor and major leagues. An email will come out. Probably first weekend of November. John Howe is talking to the township about fencing, and lights at the field. Township commissioners have a meeting next week to see what might happen. Nominations: President: Anthony Marusco Teeners: John Howe Majors: Bernie Seasock Minors: Bob Weeks Rookies: No nominations.
