Our organization is run by a group of dedicated volunteers.  
We found ourselves in this position because we wanted to make an impact in the lives of girls through positive coaching, leadership skills and
creating healthy lifestyles through sports.   

Do you have the same vision?
The following board positions will be open in Fall 2019

PRESIDENT                            OPEN
TREASURER                            OPEN
UMPIRE/FIELD DIRECTOR    OPEN
SECRETARY                            OPEN

Anyone who would like to be considered for a Board position must submit a brief letter of intent to the Board Secretary (or President if the Secretary position is vacant) by October 15th of each year.  However, nominations will be accepted for vacant positions and can be filled throughout the year as needed.  A majority vote by the Board will decide election of each Board Member.  Email joyjurewicz @gmail.com with your brief email of intent.

Weren't able to make it to the mandatory Parent Meeting for 8U, 10U and 12U parents?  Here is the agenda we covered. 

It's a good read for parents of all ages.

THANK YOU PARENT VOLUNTEERS AND PLAYERS!

We had a great turn out for our Field Clean Up Day.  Volunteers filled over 100 bags of leaves and picked up trash around RMS.  Thank you for taking pride in our facilities!  We should be on the fields after spring break.
