- provide an opportunity for high competition softball for members who want it.
The membership, as defined in the bylaws, shall be comprised of the Board of Directors, coaches and/or parents of each girl and each girl currently registered.
We are the nominating committee and through Sunday, May 6th we will be visiting your games providing you with a nomination ballot. The process for nominations is as follows:
- Write the person you wish to nominate for each of the five positions.
