OLD BUSINESS

Firecracker tournament was an excellent fundraiser as well as a much needed opportunity for slow pitch teams to enter a tournament. Would like to do again, but WILL need parent help from the All-Star player parents as well as other parents looking to satisfy volunteer commitment.

Tentative dates for tournament would be June 27-29 to avoid interfering with States and holiday plans.

JU and RB still researching prices for equipment that needs replaced.

JS still reviewing concession stand menu changes. Other ideas to make working in the concession easier for parents were discussed.

NEW BUSINESS

Opening Day tentatively set for April 12, 2014
