Opening Day Success!
Opening Day was greeted with sunshine and presented a wonderful day for OVLL families to gather and welcome our 2011 Spring Season. Together, OVLL raised over $9,700 on Opening Day. Thanks to all of our OVLL families for your support and generosity. Special thanks to Letty Forth for planning, directing and leading this wonderful day.
Here’s a break-out of our success.
$6,000 Silent Auction
$1,850 TV and Team Jacket Raffle
$1,350 Kona Ice Donation (100%)
$500 Other Food Vendor Donations
The Skills Challenge was tight throughout each division. The event was fun for the players and allowed them to show off their skills. Congratulations to the “Got Skillz” winners:
Juniors - Blue
Majors - Phillies
Minor A - Iron Pigs
Minor B - Hooks
Minor C - Iron Birds
Farm - Bruins
Tee Ball - Wolverines
Wee Ball - Oilers
We still have another opportunity to support our final fundraiser. So, don’t forget to turn in your Hit-A-Thon pledges. Our goal is to raise over $15,000! We can easily accomplish this if each player pledges at least $25. Also, we have some really cool prizes.

Here is the weekly reminder to get your game highlights published. Game roundups will be submitted to HB Independent (newspaper) and The Wave.
Unfortunately, GameonOC.com is no longer active (for now) so articles will be submitted to HB Independent.com. Remember to include: Division name (ALL divisions are welcome) Both team names The final score (if applicable)
A photo would be great, but not required Please keep submissions short and to the point; a few sentences emphasizing key highlights from both teams (if possible) and using first and last names of players. I will be submitting all articles "as is" and letting the publication edit all submissions. Please note if you do not want your name published. Something NEW! If you have any fans with a great game photo that you would like to see on our OVLL website, please email your photo to Ken Deleske at cooler48@gmail.com. Please include a short summary and, if possible, include as many names as you can from both teams...the kids love it!
Deadlines to keep in mind:
The Wave.........................Sunday 6:00pm
HB Independent............Monday 6:00pm
HB Independent.com....Monday 6:00pm

Don't worry if you happen to miss a publication deadline, I will submit your roundup the following week.
