I am proud to inform you that your Board of Directors has approved our participation this year in the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). This association will provide work sessions with your Board and with our managers and coaches to improve the quality of the Little League experience by utilizing means including positive leadership and coaching techniques.
Additionally, we are flattered to announce that Chevrolet, and in particular, Luck Chevrolet here in Ashland, has chosen your Ashland Little League among many other leagues as the recipient of a new initiative targeted at supporting local youth baseball programs. This initiative will provide baseball equipment, a charitable donation, participation in a raffle for a new Tahoe, clinics with members of the Richmond Braves and many other amenities. We are thrilled that they have chosen our league for this initiative, and we are very grateful to Luck Chevrolet for this opportunity.
As a preview, some of the items your Board of Directors is working hard to implement in 2008 include the following: improvements to the concession stand experience, focusing on third-party staffing of the concession stand so that parents will not have to do this; scheduling as many games as possible at our fields in Ashland; and a fully rebuilt and informative website.
We look forward to a great 2008 season.
