From the President…
Tom Coons,
WYB President
Dear
Wilton Youth Baseball families,
It seems winter has finally left us, which
means it’s time to start concentrating on our spring 2008 season. We
have a lot going on as we start our third full season of Cal Ripken
baseball.
In addition to a full slate of Major, Minor,
Rookie, and T-Ball games, Wilton Youth Baseball will be fielding two
13 year old teams and a 14-15 year old team in the Saratoga Babe
Ruth League. I would like to thank the Saratoga Babe Ruth League for
including these three teams from Wilton to be in their league.
These three teams will also have a new field
to play on at the end of May, as the Town of Wilton and the Parks
and Recreation are building a new full size Babe Ruth field. It will
be located right beyond the right field fence of Fenway at Gavin
Park. I would like to thank Art Johnson and the Wilton town board,
as well as Steve Porto and the Recreation Commission for their work
on this venture. This further demonstrates their commitment to the
growth of the Wilton Youth Baseball organization.
As we start the new year, please take a moment
to read over the new board members for the league. These dedicated
individuals have been hard at work getting ready for the upcoming
season. We certainly had a good season last year and are looking to
build off of it with bigger and better ideas. That is why we are
always looking for new volunteers! I cannot stress the importance of
getting parents involved. Kids grow up fast and this is a great way
to be involved with them. If you can help out in any way please
email me at
tcoons3@nycap.rr.com, and
we will find you a place within WYB. There are so many ways you
could be of assistance, so please, if you have any free time, just
let us know.
We
are in the process of getting volunteers to help with our Opening
Day Committee. Our opening Day is Friday, May 9. We do realize that
we will be playing baseball before that date, but the ceremonies
will be one that you and your families enjoy. We are once again
having fireworks, special contests, food by 99 Restaurant, and
much much more. If you would like to be part of the Opening
Day Committee please email me at
tcoons3@nycap.rr.com.
The “On Deck Circle”, our concession stand will be operating again
during the spring season. The concession stand is in need of
volunteers to help and would welcome anytime you can give! If
you would like to help us out, please contact our concession stand
coordinator, Jackie Kiesow at
jackolant9@aol.com. All proceeds
from the sale of goods and merchandise go back into our program, so
please support WYB through the On Deck Circle. We will also be
selling WYB merchandise such as hats, sweatshirts, car magnets, and
golf umbrellas, and much, much more.
WYB board meetings are open to the public and are held in the
community room at Gavin Park. Meetings are the first Thursday
of each month. Join us at a meeting and be a part of this
exciting and growing youth baseball organization.
Good luck to all the teams,
coaches, players and families during this Spring Season. We look
forward to seeing all of you at the fields. Community Baseball -
It's a Home Run!
Have a Great Summer!
