Tigers

On July 3, we emailed to all of our parents and volunteers a survey to help us improve our league. Please check your email, and respond if you have not already done so. If you didn't get a survey, please email the league, making sure you include your name and address. Once we verify that you are part of the league, we'll send you the survey. Thanks!

NMBOLL Players Evan Cohen and Henri Thomas won the Miami-Dade Sectional at their respective age levels, and competed at the Florida Marlin Team Championship level at Dolphins Stadium on Saturday, June 17th at 9:00 am. We'll have to wait for the results from the other major league cities before we know whether either one will get to go to the All-Star game!

Oral Health America's National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NSTEP) and Little League International are pleased to announce the 2006 NSTEP Slogan Contest on the health consequences of using spit tobacco. In 12 words or less, Little Leaguers should create an original slogan that effectively describes the hazards of spit tobacco use. All Little League Baseball and Softball players age 14 and under are eligible. All entries must be received by July 2, 2006. The National Spit Tobacco Education Program will award the winner a paid trip for two for one night, including airfare, hotel accommodations and ground transportation to the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa. (Please note: The World Series is held between August 18 and August 27, 2006. The winner must be able to travel during this period.) The winner will receive a prize valued up to five $500 and the winner's league will receive $500 from the National Spit Tobacco Education Program. Visit www.NSTEP.org or www.littleleague.org/media/nstep2006.pdf for a PDF file of the official slogan contest rules and to download an official slogan contest entry form.

At our year-end Splash Bash, our 2006 All-Stars were announced. They each received a certificate and an official Little League All-Star pin. The all-stars are eligible to be appointed to our tournament teams. Congratulations and good luck to all!
