Dear Parents,
I would like to welcome you and your children to the
Everett Little League and hope that all the children have a great season. This
year looks to be another exciting year and the Board of Directors have been
working hard to make this possible for your children. This letter is to let
everyone know what’s on schedule for this season.
We have our Opening Day Parade
scheduled for April 26th (rain date April 27th.) and
we’ll have more info to follow in the coming weeks. We also have our picture
day, the date and times will be posted soon. Our Field Day is scheduled for May
31st and if you were there last year it was a whole lot of fun for
the kids all day long. We had a super slide, exotic animal booth, hitting
contest for all levels and of course our free cook-out for everyone in the
league.
The next thing I would like
to talk about is FUNDRAISING; if you are involved in any other youth
organization, then you know most of them ask you to do two to three mandatory
fundraisers during the season. We at Everett Little League only ask you to sell
five calendars per child at the cost of $5 each. Last year was a record
breaking year. This is a mandatory
fundraiser for everyone and with everyone’s participation we can keep
the cost of the banquets to a minimum if not zero for the players of our
league. We are making the calendars more exciting to sell by adding prizes for
the player whose winning tickets are pulled on certain dates and to the player
who sells the most calendars. This is a very simple fundraiser and I hope
everyone gets involved. If there are any problems selling the calendars, please
talk with a board member.
We are also going to have
the Major League Players ONLY, to do
1 hour of canning each to help keep down the cost of the banquets and to give
back more to this great organization. We are stilling working out the details
with this and more info will follow. If any Major League parent has any
questions or concerns please ask a board member.
Just to let everyone know you
can find out any info you need by going onto our web-site at everettlittleleague.com. In
closing I would like to welcome and thank you for signing up with Everett
Little League and hope everyone has a great year.
PLAY BALL!
