Fields Closed Today; News and Notes from March Board Meeting

March 2nd, 2010 by SMP

The fields at SMP are closed today due to inclement weather. As always the Information/Rainout line is the No. 1 way to get information at SMP,  but of course we try to keep website updated too.

Here are a few notes from last night’s Board meeting:

  • Teams, of course, have been formed and are now practicing. Game schedules are being finalized and will be released in the near future.
  • Team rosters are posted here (under “Downloadable Files”).
  • Response to Dick’s Sporting Goods sale and coaches’ gifts were popular.
  • We were notified that some people with older browsers may not have been getting the web posts this month. That problem has been corrected.
  • Team Mom meeting was well attended and that group has many responsibilities this Spring. We thank all the moms who have stepped up in this role. Kristi Tolbert is the Park Mom and leads this group. Thank you all for what you do!
  • Pancakes at the Park event will be Saturday, March 20th from 8-11 at Baumhower’s Wings at Patton Creek. Tickets are $5 each and families will soon be getting information about this from the Team Moms. Contact John Parker with any questions.
  • We will have a “Used Equipment Donation Day” this Saturday from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. at SMP. You may drop off any used equipment and it will be donated to the Birmingham Police Athletic League. Drop off point is old BBQ hut at front of park below Field #1. There will be a sign to point this out.
  • With a record 16 T-ball teams parking will be in demand as never before – please try to park in the lot across Al Seier Road whenever possible.

As always minutes from previous meetings are available here (under “Downloadable Files”).
