Westford Over 30 Slowpitch 2024

At the league meeting held on December 4, a new President and Vice President were elected to replace the outgoing officers. Chris Smith of Short Cut was elected President and John Hunter of Willis Tent was elected Vice President. A new Treasurer is being sought to replace Chris. Nominations can be made to the League Secretary. In addition, the board voted to expand the league qualification requirement for entry into the draft for the upcoming season. In 2007, residents of Westford as well as those who work full time for a Westford business are now eligible to play in the league. The league rules and bylaws reflecting this change will be presented at the first spring meeting.

With the conclusion of the 2006 season, President Paul Berard has announced his retirement. In addition, Bill Faherty has also announced his resignation as the Vice President. All of us in the league would like to thank both Paul and Bill for their dedication and efforts. The league is actively seeking nominations for both positions. Nominations can be made to the League Secretary.
