HOLLY LAPIERRE NAMED MLB VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR!!
ST. JOHN’S – November 7, 2009 Baseball Canada presented its annual awards at the 2009 Fall Convention in St. John’s, Newfoundland, recognizing some of the hardest working people in the sport. MLB Volunteer of the Year: Holly Lapierre Holly Lapierre has been the driving force behind developing Girls Baseball throughout Nova Scotia and in all of Canada. In 2008, she organized a “Girls Day in Baseball” in Nova Scotia to expose girls baseball as well as creating exposure for the Women’s National Team. Over 80 girls participated in a day of celebration which featured a clinic with National Team players, as well as an autograph session, barbeque and decorating the field in pink. For the 2009 edition of the event, over 150 girls participated. For the 2009 season, as the co-chair of the Baseball Canada Girls Committee, the long time volunteer challenged all provinces to have their own girl’s day in baseball, which most provinces answered the call. Also in 2009, she held the first ever all Women’s baseball coaching clinic. Over 20 women took part in this event and once again set the bar for the rest of the country as Nova Scotia now has female coaches to coach its female teams. All of these accomplishments were achieved on top of her duties as the President of the Hammonds Plains Minor Baseball Association and Treasurer of Baseball Nova Scotia. In three years, Holly has more than doubled her membership and is now the largest association in Nova Scotia. It is Holly’s enthusiasm and passion for the game that has made all of this happen. She has continually pushed and worked hard to make these things a reality and will continue to raise the bar.
On behalf of Hammonds Plains Baseball, I would like to congratulate Holly for this well-deserved award and I look forward to many more years of working with you both on and off the baseball field!!

IN THE EVENT OF RAIN...
With the arrival of baseball (and rainy) season, there is also the big question: "What do I do in the event of rain on game day??" If you are scheduled to play a game or have a practice on a day it is raining (or has rained), it is your responsibility to call the HRM field line 490-7100 - we are in the Western Region. You can also check the HRM Field Conditions website - they usually update their site around 3pm on weekdays and 7am on weekends: http://www.halifax.ca/rec/field_conditions.asp. If the fields are closed, there is NO baseball - period. Any use of HRM facilities when fields are closed will result in fines and possible loss of future scheduling privileges.
