General Notes

We want the girls to have a fun and memorable season.  As parents we need to set an excellent example.  There is ZERO tolerance for anyone who berates parents, coaches, players or umpires.  

Remember:

• Stay positive

Next Board Meeting

Tuesday June 26th at 5:00 pm 

Standing Room Only Bar and Grill 

If you are reading this I am asking you to help.  Speaking as the Director and for the Board, we feel we have the groundwork for a great Association.  We are energetic and excited about the future of the Saint Francis Fastpitch Association.  We all have at least a year under our belt and, even though we made some mistakes, we are working on many good things.  We have streamlined the tryout procedure, built a storage shed by the 9th grade field, are in the process of building a batting cage, have revamped the scheduling process, and are working with the umpire organization to alleviate the "missing ump" problem.  

We have more work to do and cannot do this with out you!!!  Below is a list of possible positions (already filled); which one is for you?  Do you see a need that is not filled?

One goal as a board is to create a organization with smaller responsibilities to fit in with your busy lifestyle.  For example, picture coordinator's work with the photographer and the teams to coordinate pictures at the start of the season.   

Second goal is to keep the meetings (12 per year) to one hour. 

• Volunteers know that their selfless efforts also contribute to their own personal growth.
• Volunteering is actually good for your health!
• Volunteering also keeps people active and provides an opportunity to develop a strong support system, making them less vulnerable to depression.
• Volunteering is an easy way to make new friends and become a part of the community
• Volunteering can be a chance to improve one’s skill set and enhance a resume

So, we are asking you to help.  Please call 763-439-7007 or email Jimruid@gmail.com to join.  Do it today!
