Craig's list is ok if you are looking for a job.  Angie's list is great if you'd like to clean up from the job you found on Craig's list.  ROSL_DAN's list?.... you need to read on. 

ROSL has a text message distribution list in the event of games being rained out and letting everyone know what is going on before the season starts.  ROSL Memo to you: It's Tuesday... you look outside at 4pm... it's raining on and off all day but not that hard...  So you ask yourself.... Is there a game tonight?  Will my coach call me in time?  What if the coach calls my home and I am not there to get the call?  Do I need to record Hillbilly Handfishing?  Easy answer as let ROSL _Dan's list  take care of it for you.  Besides it saves time and trouble as ROSL_Dan has learned recently that this thing called "texting" may catch on some day. 

As of now we have over 1,000 1,100, 1,300, 1,400 people on the text distribution list and it is working out MARVELOUS.... So you are saying "How do I get in on this cool, leading edge, ROSL text messaging thing?".  Great question so here is what you need to do.  Send a text message to 2482278075 with only one word in the message being "ROSL".  You will then be added to the ROSL text distribution list for rainouts, standing updates and anything else that everyone needs to know. 

We need to tell you the "Standard text messaging rates will apply" but you already new that.  Now really?  This is really "too smooth to move" where you and your players can bond over a rainout moment?  Wow! I really need to stop watching Dr. Phil I guess.

Once again this year you can follow us on Facebook and be part of the growing ROSL Facebook family.  Friend us at "Royal Oak Sandlot League" today.  You can even write on our wall if you'd like since you were not allowed to write on walls when you were 4 years old with the crayons your Grandmother gave you for your birthday.  I hope you do understand today when Grandmother went home after your 4th birthday she was really getting back at your mother for doing the same thing when your mother was 4 years old and writing on Grandmother's walls with crayons.  Grandmother's love paybacks... they sit back waiting... waiting.... waiting... then one day WHAM! crayons for your birthday.  Now you know why Grandmother's giggle... and that's the reason we love them.
