It takes a whole community to run the Titan Baseball program and the majority of you jumped right in to help. It's amazing how much can get done when everyone gives a little of their time. It's no wonder that we have the best program in the county!
There were those who helped at every game - our announcers and scoreboard operators. Thank you to our Voice of the Titans, Jason Lindquist, Bruce Carlile (scoreboard), and Evi Valles (scorekeeper) at Varsity, John Newman and Larry Richards at JV, and Stan Barth and Kimberly Carroll at Frosh. Michele Manos did a beautiful job taking photos at the JV games. JV players - you will get photo CDs in the near future.
Then there are the Snack Bar Coordinators - Delorie Thomas and Marlene Dubreville. They were responsible for the huge task of making sure that the snack bar was stocked and ready to go before each game. And we cannot forget our Grill Master Peter Joe. Peter has made our snack bar a destination for many visiting teams!
To those of you who came and worked in the snack bar - THANK YOU! It's very frustrating and inconsiderate when workers don't show up for their shifts without notice, and that happened very little this year. THANK YOU to those who worked the extra shifts so others can watch their sons play, and to those who saw when it was busy in the snack bar and jumped right in to help.
Dawn Etchison and Joy Rogers were our Apparel Coordinators. They ordered everything in our Titan Store and kept it stocked. They sold apparel at PALL and PNLL.
Our snack bar and apparel are such important fundraisers for us. They keep our heads above water, especially in a season where we didn't have our major fundraiser - the golf tourney. THANK YOU to Dave Fischer and Ron Moreno for making sure that we'll have the 15th Annual Poway Titan Baseball Golf Tournament!
Those of you who think that the school custodians clean our stands are mistaken! Stan Anderson, with help from Peter Joe, comes out before every home game, picks up the trash, scrapes gum and other things off of the stands, and blows everything clean. Please think of them the next time you spit seeds or leave your trash in the stands.
Our grounds crew is second to none. They're led by Frosh Assistant Coach Mark Haines. Tom joined the team this year. Wally takes great care of our outfield, and Jim comes whenever we call. They're the best!
A giant THANK YOU to Rebecca Peppers and Mee-Sun Joe for organizing our banquet. They did a beautiful job. Carrie Ehrlich made the thank you cards. I don't know if you saw them but they are works of art.
THANK YOU to Dawn Sullivan for organizing our Senior Recognition Day on Tuesday. Dawn decorated the stands and brought the roses that were given to our senior moms.
THANK YOU to this year's Booster Board. They did the best possible job in a year when our resources were low. President Mee-Sun Joe made sure that everything ran smoothly. VP Charlie Hasenbeck took care of field issues immediately, many times doing repairs himself. VP Michele Manos had the huge job of heading the fundraisers and made it look easy. Secretary Dawn Etchison took on the Apparel job in addition to the secretarial duties. We are fortunate that these four are returning for 2011. Current Treasurer Ted Dennis, unfortunately for us, is not. Ted is AMAZING! It's difficult for a treasurer in a volunteer organization such as ours. Not everyone who volunteers to be treasurer has a financial background. Because of that we had some issues that carried over from past years. Ted spent a great deal of time straightening everything out and we're now good to go. THANK YOU Ted!
Finally, and most importantly, THANK YOU to our coaches - Bob Parry, Deron Johnson, Tom Brunansky, Caleb Allen, Dan Cassidy, and Steve McSorley at Varsity; Mike Acuna and Joe Ramos at JV; and Jim Hall and Mark Haines at Frosh. These are all very special men. They give their all for your players and you are lucky to have them. You may not always agree with them, but please know that they love your boys.
Hope to see all of you in the stands (and working the snack bar) during the playoffs! Go Titans!
