The minutes from the last meeting were waived. Pat welcomed everyone back for the New Year. This year we will have monthly minutes posted on the web site for those who are unable to attend can still be informed. The calendar and raffles are ready. The calendar has been updated to include the 2005 registration dates. The February general meeting will be held at the greater Ridgewood youth council on Myrtle Ave on February 25th @7:30. Our registration is still one of the most inexpensive leagues to join, some are double the fee and 3 times the work detail. Division heads are responsible for getting all non-returning manager equipment bags back. All instructional managers will receive their own bag and be responsible for it. Managers are still needed in instructional, rookie, minor and major divisions. There are 4 sponsor spots available. Monday the 26th a new rules committee will meet to discuss the unification of rules for all division. for the season, playoffs, and drafts. There will be a coach’s clinic to teach new and existing managers the basics of running an efficient practice. The field has been paintballed over the winter. Several board members attended a youth coaches clinic at Mohegan sun...it was very informative on teaching the fundamentals from instructional to the major leagues. "it all comes down to the basics." The 2004 registration dates are posted on the web site and the local newspaper. Draft dates will be announced at the next board meeting. The meeting closed at 8:20.
