Families of Granada Little League,
As we approach the end of the 2013 GLL regular season, we begin planning for 2014.
As you may know, Granada Little League is run 100% by adult volunteers and without them there would be no Granada Little League - no tri-tip sandwiches, no tee shirts and hats, and no life long memories for your players.
The first step in that process is to elect a new Board of Directors for 2013-2014 which will take over in October and start preparing for us next year. In 2013, we had 30 people volunteer countless hours of work behind the scenes as well as at the fields, in order to provide a safe, enjoyable place for our kids to play baseball.
This year, we are going to handle our Board nominations
entirely electronically. Soon, you will find the 2013-2014 GLL Board of Directors nomination form on the web site and in your email. If you would like to volunteer your time and feel you can contribute, feel free to nominate yourself. We would love to have you! Additionally, if you know of someone who you think would be a good addition to the GLL Board, please nominate them also. We will be calling all nominees before they are put on the official ballot to confirm their interest, as well as which position they would like to run for.
Thank you for your particiapation in this important process.
Ryan Chance
GLL Secretary
