We had a very
productive meeting on Wednesday, April 9. We had very good
attendance for this time of year.
It was reported by
our secretary./treasurer that the balance in our checking account
was $14,065.68. We will have some more bills to pay to Sport Shop
for equipment and uniforms. Matt Lyles reported that we still need
receive some more sponsorship monies. If you have not paid your
sponsorship fee for your team, please do so as soon as possible.
We had a lot of
general discussion on the subject of rain-outs. Steve reported that
he was beginning to re-schedule these games and asked that everyone
please cooperate with him when he calls you to make up a game.
The President
reported that Shane Pigue, Tournament Director of the Wally Hall -
Tournament of Champions that will be held at Benton had called and
asked that we encourage all of our teams to participate. The
tournament will be held over the Memorial Day weekend. It will be a
very good tournament.
We will be
meeting throughout the Summertime the second Wednesday @ 7 PM. Try
to attend.
The President
reported that the work at Bishop Park is proceeding. However, some
neighboring residents have filed a suit in an attempt to halt
construction. I'll try to keep everyone up on the proceedings.
We handed out a
sheet with a Code of Ethics for the Players, Coaches, and Parents.
These would be very good to use with your teams.
Our next meeting
will be @ 7 PM on May 14th. Please attend if you can. I encourage
all coaches to pay their sponsorship fee by the end of the first
half of the season. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!! I hope everyone has
a great 2008 season.

We blinked our eyes and now we are facing Fall Ball. I want to let everyone know weekly I will post the Concession Stand Duties on the message board. I will also call each coach, a week in advance, to remind them of their teams volunteer duties for Bryant Softball Association. (Same manner it was done during the Spring Softball Season). NEED AT LEAST 7 to 8 PEOPLE FOR THE TEAM CONCESSION DUTY. If your team has more, that is great because we can always use more help. My sweet children (Desiree' and Justin) that most of you love to
work with and harass, will not
be able to be at the park, all
day, most Saturdays, due to
commitments to the Bryant High
School Band. Yes, you will all
still see them, just maybe not
as much. I hate to disappoint so
many of the coaches and their
parents, but I thought it best
to fore warn each of you.
(hahahahahaha) PLEASE Have at least 2 to 3 people at the concession stand 30 minutes before your scheduled duty. One person for the gate and another in the concession stand. This is imperative for the first teams scheduled each Saturday; due to, gate admissions and concession preparation. During the remainder of the day it will serve as a transition period for teams changing shifts. We are going to do things a little differently for this season. (1) PLEASE NO EATING IN THE CONCESSION STAND I had several complaints by customers that they did not appreciate standing at the windows to watch people in the concession eat before or while preparing or serving their food. All volunteer's food must be taken outside. (2) Drinks and Food Bryant Softball Association donates drinks coffee, tea, ice water, and cokes to the concession stand volunteers only, this does not include their family members. Volunteers must purchase all food products and bottled drinks a receipt will be given to you for the proof of purchase. (In case asked by a board member) We can not freely feed all volunteers, their children, or their other family members. Our association is a non-profit organization. The concession stand and gate proceeds are invested back into the park for all our supplies and other necessities the park or teams may need. (3) No One Under the age of 14 in the concession stand. This is an Arkansas Department of Health Regulation.. This does not mean that children can continuously come to the windows and yell at their parents. Please talk to you children about having respect for all the concession stand volunteers and customers. (4) Teenage Volunteers I realize some teams with children over the age of 14 have few parents that want to volunteer for the team concession stand duty. But everyone (children and parents) in the concession stand needs to realize we need volunteers that are willing to help, not stand around and talk, unwilling to do their part. Teams planning to have the girls themselves in the concession stand will also need a few parents to volunteer. The only reason these statements are being brought up is because of problems and complaints that arose during the Spring season. All concession stand volunteers will be allowed to park in back
near the concession stand. I realize portions of this message seem very harsh. I am not
intending to upset anyone. Thank you,
Debbie Evatt |
