COMMENTS FROM 2ND VP

 

   Well, we’ve had some cold tournaments the last month or so and some that got rained out too.  Remember though to make sure you can get your five requirements for the State Closed.  Please don’t wait ‘til the last minute in case for some reason a tournament is cancelled.  Also, can you please be aware of your fellow pitchers that do not have website or computer access?  Give them a buzz and find out if they’ve got their entry forms filled out and sent in (it might be it just slipped their mind too).  Maybe you can make them a copy.

   Dale and I pitched at the Sebring tourney the day before the Club Team and it was good to see so many of our snowbird pitchers again this year. We have many that come to the Orlando, St Cloud and Oviedo tourneys and I enjoy their company.  It’s amazing how long some have been participating in this sport.

   Our Annual meeting is coming up and each club should try to send their representative to the meeting.  If the President can’t attend he should notify the Secretary-Treasurer and indicate who will be representing the club in April.  My position of 2nd VP is up for re-election and there have not been any declared candidates.  I consider it a privilege to continue to serve our membership in this capacity.

   Many are already making their plans for the World Tournament in Montgomery.  Unfortunately, Dale and I will not be able to attend even though it is close by.  Seminole County Schools start this next August on the 10th and as you may be aware, the teachers have to be there the week before and the NJROTC unit starts their program a few days before that, so we are looking forward to St George, Utah the year after.

   I look forward to seeing you on the courts.
