Uniform Distribution Day – Is this Saturday the 23rd at the Holt Jr. High School. Check the website for your time slot.
HJRB Merchandise – All merchandise orders must be received by April 27th to ensure it is ready for pickup before games start.
Asst. Coach Shirts – Asst. Coaches, your head coach should have sent you a link to order either a free t-shirt or wicking or polo shirt at a discounted price. These are the same shirts that are available via our store however they will have “Coach Lastname” printed on them. If you didn’t get this special link ask your head coach or email me. Please get these ordered ASAP if you have not!!!
Coaches scheduling meeting tonight – at least one coach from every team should attend this meeting. It is at Mason Middle School in Room 22 at 6:30pm. Team schedules will be finalized at this meeting. Coaches – email me a copy of your schedule ASAP (by Friday would be nice!). Once we get the game dates plugged in we can start scheduling practice times in the empty slots.
PONY division assignments - It appears that the Mid-Michigan Pony League website now has all the teams entered into their respective divisions. See them at: http://www.masonpony.org – click on STANDINGS for a quick view of all the teams.
Elliott Field Project – The fields look great, this rain has actually been good for them. New fencing will start going in next week. Delhi will be putting in new benches for us and providing new home plates and possibly new bases. If we need any volunteers for anything I’ll let you know.
New concession stand – Work is also underway to get the concession stand operational. Last year the stand was at the U14 field, this year we will be using the building near the U12 and U10 fields. Profits from last year’s stand are being reinvested into this new stand. Last year we borrowed a lot of stuff. This year we have a brand new popcorn maker, snow cone machine, roasters, coffee maker, thermos for hot coco, a new freezer, etc. Plus the building needed some TLC and is getting it. Thanks to our VP Tom Barger for heading this up!
Pitching Machine – We have also added a pitching machine to our arsenal. We only have one for now so it will be in high demand but coaches can reserve it via our scheduling system.
The season is almost upon us! I may be the “voice” but there are many others helping with all of our season startup tasks.
