Bob Swab gave an overview of the number of teams each division may have unless we receive more applications.  At this point there will be four teams in Senior baseball and Major softball, and three Minor softball teams.  Interleague play with High Point in Minor softball may be a possibility this year.  High Point will have three or four teams.  Minor League baseball teams may be cut back to eight teams this year.

Mike Robins has been getting quotes from photographers for this year’s team pictures.  He should have the information ready to present at the March meeting.

A discussion concerning managers and coaches not returning league equipment was held.  A motion was made by Gary Cobbler to collect a $50.00 check from each manager and a signed release form, prior to issuing any equipment.  The check will not be cashed unless the manager fails to return the equipment.  The motion was seconded by Cindy Clark; motion carried.
