E. OLD BUSINESS

 

1. Ken posted the election results on Facebook. For SSSA officers this year both Ken Shepard and Jack Zimmerman were nominated for president. Ken was selected. Frank Lyons was nominated for vice-president, Dan Martin for treasurer, and Bob D'Angelo for secretary. All 3 were chosen.

2. The annual luncheon was cancelled because of the Covid-19 virus. We incurred about $250 in printing costs for the tickets and flyers. Refunds were given to about 38 folks who had purchased tickets in advance. We neglected to notify and invite some sponsors to the luncheon.

3. The summer league is on hold for now. We do have 5 sets of managers lined up for the Gold league and 4 sets for the Silver league. About 120 players have registered. We'll decide by May 13 whether to cancel the league.

4. The rerating of players finished with 48 players having their number changed; 28 had their rating improved and 20 had their rating decrease. Thanks to all who helped with the process.

5. Jack led a discussion on the February marketing presentation by David Lionel. Jack will contact our insurance carrier to see if we're covered for events other than our regularly scheduled games.

6. Bob  will be chair of Community events.

7. Player issues - last month Tim Manning was placed on probation for his next playing season. Ron made a motion to suspend Tim for 1 year. Motion failed.

 

F. NEW BUSINESS

 

1. George gave each board member a printout showing job duties and responsibilities and requested we review the form and be prepared to discuss next month.

2. The county sent us their annual request for the number of volunteer hours given by SSSA. George had calculated a total and Ken will respond to the county with the total.

3. George passed out a lineup card and requested it be placed on our website for use by any team manager as needed.

4. Our domain name ends this August. Frank will make sure we retain the rights.

5. Dan led a discussion on whether roster players should be picked as subs before non roster players.

6. Jack asked we appoint a committee to review our bylaws. Jack, Dan, Chuck and Bob will serve on the committee. We decided only board members should serve on this committee.

7. If we play ball this summer we'll have board members serve as league coordinators. George and Ken will handle the Gold league. Ron and Bob will handle the Silver league.

8. The next meeting is Wednesday, May 13. It's scheduled at the Fruitville Library.

9. Today's meeting was adjourned at 3:25pm.
