French Drain has been installed at Buggy Field.  Hoping for the best.

While the township is there we are going to hopefully resolve some drainage issues.  Township will put two water grates in.

Locals carpenter’s union will come in and repair the press box.  Either the fall or spring.

Can we put up gutters for the gazebo?  

Met with a landscaper today.  About the pitching mounds.

November 4th for closing down the snack bar. OCtober 27 and 28 taking all signs down and aerating the grass.  

Please give any extra tools to Dan Campbell.

President’s Report - Anthony Marusco

Not much to say.  Mention our fall ball.  Playing since the second week of September.  Fall ball was improved with the number of teams from last year.  

Rookies

The Nether teams have been supportive about how our fields looked.  Struggling with a catcher for those teams.

JR. Rookies played the Rookies

That went over pretty well.

Minors

Kids looked pretty impressive.

Majors

Wanted to send a feeler out to see if there is anything that we can do to improve,

Tom has worked his rear end off!  Thanks for everything!!

Community Day Parade

Aston Valley participated in Aston Community Day

About 30 kids and parents in the parade.  Township appreciated us for being there.
