With additional leagues chartering in the area, and the Temporary Re-Merger of "West Emerald Valley Little League" and "Bethel Little League," the 2008 General Membership Meeting unanimously voted to change the name -

making the program more easily identified with the community it serves .... (with Sheldon Little League - chartered in 2006 - now serving the boundaries of Sheldon High School  - also within the city of Eugene.)

 " Eugene Little League"
