| Correction to Item I in NEWSLETTER 3-09 |
|
| Subject: Re: 15U Olympic Schedule-Dow Screw Up! |
|
| Folks, Dean is P#$% at me, pointing our my only screw up for 2009, so far J |
|
| Dean has already started scheduling so I blew it. |
|
| Several of you also caught it as well, thanks for reading. |
|
| Pay the first half fees and we’ll adjust on the 2nd half fees- would be 20 and 21 game schedule, and thus less |
| fees – again will adjust the fees on the 2nd half. |

| I. All league fees had been sent out 3.2.09 and of course are on the Web Site (My Site News). |
| Owners please tell your administrators how the $800 works-$300 is Performance Bond not |
| part of the League fees!-as explained in Article 9 -2 & the newsletters. |
|
| 1. 15u Cascade total league fees are $2,110- Total Fees are due as we speak. |
|
| 2. 15U Olympic total League Fees are $1,980. –Remember LAD screwed up on original |
| calculation forgot about No. and So. So 1st half fees were $942 and now 2nd half fees |
| are $538. Do not pay cents please! |
|
| II. Attached is the Owners/Coaches Contact List – please do not –do mass distribution lists |
| unless you Blind Copy them -BCC. We in the past got complaints that “spammers” were |
| getting a hold of the lists and bugging our membership. |
|
| III. Still many rosters missing: Article 17 is very clear. |
|
| IV. Still many Insurance certificates: Article 23-is very plain. |
|
| V. When communicating with the league – PLEASE PLEASE PUT DOWN YOU TEAM NAME |
| AND AGE GROUP. And read Article 5. |
|
| VI. When paying league fees, fines etc. please note on the check your team name and age group, |
| many times the check does not match the team name and with 85 teams some of us get |
| confused. If we bug you about payment and you paid, just let us know the date and amount |
| the check cleared-of course name on the check and league age group will be helpful—we have |
| mis-posted before so this will help clear it up. |
|
| VII. Tournaments-we’ve sent out and continue to send out any tournaments we hear about, after |
| that we delete them –so make a note of them. |
|
| VIII. The Preliminary Game Schedule is out- Article 12 - Final Schedule Soon. |
|
| IX. 99.9% of all Questions can be answered by reading the Constitution- FAQ & Index can help. |

| go let us know! –NEED TO KNOW NOW, you don’t necessarily have to win one of the |

| are not committing to 15U MM WS and will hand berth to those interested and who respond :-). |
