1. Summer League – Due to the Covid 19 virus pandemic, no date has been set for the summer draft, or start of league play. That will be determined once the quarantine is lifted.  We  5 have managers  for the gold league and 4 for the Silver League.  We expect that Greg Vorhees will get a Co- manager for the fifth team.

It was decided that a date will be set at the next meeting as to when, and if, play will begin.

 

By majority vote, all summer league games will be played at 17th St. fields.

 

2)  A community events program board, to be chaired by Bob D’Angelo, was formed. Other participants will be Frank Lyons, Jack Zimmerman and Jay Wolfinger. 

 

3.) A By- Law committee will be formed to update the  information . It was agreed that it will be served board members. Selected were Chuck Cason, Jack Zimmerman and Dan Martin .

 

4.) A plan was discussed and is to be established, to secure new sponsors. Letters to prospective sponsors will be sent out at the appropriate time.

 

5.) It was suggested and agreed by all, that new roles and responsibilities will be established for board members. All ideas are to be passed on to George Wacaser.

 

6.) All board members are to review all budget items. Additional items may be requested. 

Frank Lyons is to investigate the main domain for SSA web page.

 

7.) George presented a lineup card that can be used by all teams. It was approved and all agreed that it should be placed on the website. Its purpose is to have managers inform each other, before the start of a game, who are  their replacement players  and what their rating is. This will be done to avoid stacking a team.

 

8. Next month's meeting is May 13, 2020. The location is to be determined.
