This early time allows people to view the baskets and purchase their raffle tickets early. If this is your first year with FGSA the raffle baskets made by each team are amazing and very creative. The baskets are raffled off throughout the closing day ceremony. Winners of the Hit-a-Thon prizes will be reward on this day as well.

Closing Day is the day all Managers turn in their equipment and keys. The equipment is checked and new equipment is added to each bag. If the equipment is not returned, the league cannot supply new equipement. If you are planning on returning to the league next year turn in your equipment.

Featured Board Member

Dan Stevens has been on the Board for a very long time. He was President of the Board when his daughter played for FGSA. No one knows the rules or understands why the rules are written as they are as well as Dan Stevens. A number of years ago Dan stepped down as Board President but remained on the Board as Parlimentarian. He can quote who lines from Roberts Rules for meetings. He reminds the Board to make motions, second the motions and to have discussions before items are voted upon. He is an invaluable source to the Board. Dan moved away from Fremont but still dediates his time to FGSA.

The Board is asking for volunteers to look into becoming Board Members.
