Johnson is no stranger to the struggles of business, having filed for Replica Handbags UK bankruptcy in 2012, but to her it's all part of the ride. "It ain't hard when you love it," she deadpanned. "It's beautiful when you love it, and I still love it after 50 years. I still love it. I'm creative consultant for all my brands, so I kick them in the ass when they need to get a little more Replica Designer Handbags creative. It's great. It's just perfect. I've had a Cheap Watches UK perfectly wonderful, happy life."As for her plans for the Fake Watches UK awards ceremony, she'll attend with her family, including her daughter, Lulu, Hublot Replica UK and two granddaughters. "I'm going to drag my whole family on stage to cartwheel with me," she laughed about what she'll do when she accepts the Christian Louboutin Replica UK award. Just another thing to look forward to at the CFDA Awards ceremony on June 1.

New Business:

 

By-Laws:  Changes were gone over and approved.  Please note there is a typo on page 10: Last line of Article 10, section 1, 1st paragraph, should read "entitled to one free dozen baseballs or (not of!) $50.

 

Scherersville Field #5:  Lee Higgins discussed problems with field:  run-off from hill, ruts, drainage, etc.  He displayed pictures of the field taken during December.  He, Joe and Pat Sedler, and Dave Hemerly discussed dealings with Bill Berkheimer in trying to get field up to playing standards.  Dave Hemerly said for 1997, Northern Yankees would play on Scherersville #5, but would be allowed to take open dates on Scherersville #1 when the field was available.  Decision on field must be determined before schedule is finalized.

 

Status of Existing Teams for 1997:

NORTH:         Castle Hill - OK

                        Easton - Still has to apply for field in late January/early February.  Seeking alternatives

                                    (Palmer field behind Laneco?) if unable to play at Easton HS.

                        Northern Yankees - OK, given previous discussion regarding Scherersville #5.

                        South Whitehall - absent

                        Woody's - OK

CENTRAL:    Allentown Senators - OK - playing all games at Scherersville #5

                        Center Valley - OK

                        ICC - OK

                        Limeport - absent

                        Silver Creek - absent

SOUTH:         East Texas - absent.  Team reportedly moving to Cetronia.

                        Gabelsville - absent

                        Milford - OK

                        Quakertown - will field a team.  Mike Katzbeck will represent team at meetings, but

                                    will not be manager.  He will inform League about management.

                        Upper Perk - OK.  Possibility of lights being installed at field, but will not be

                                    operational in 1997.

 

New Team:     Bethlehem Brewers - will play at Peifle field in 1997 (if the Ballyard is built, construction will not start until after season).  Co-managers Greg Wotring and Scott Grimshaw. No financial difficulties anticipated; Greg Wotring was Woody's treasurer last year and is aware of fees.  They anticipate a full roster with 12 definite players, 6 from BML, possibly up to 24.  The two teams affected by transferred players, Woody's and Milford, do not have a problem with losing players.  Acceptance of Bethlehem Brewers was unanimously approved.

 

Team presented alignment options for 16-team league at meeting (copy is enclosed for persons not at meeting).  A preliminary vote was held, with 5 voting for Option 1 and 4 voting for Option 2.  It was decided to hold any decision until next meeting to allow representatives to consider the ramifications.  Note that if 4 divisions are selected, a new playoff scenario will have to be drawn up.  Please consider number of divisions, which teams in which division, and playoff possibilities and be prepared to discuss at next meeting.

           

Selection of Officers:  The same officers were approved for 1997, except a new Publicity Director will be needed.  Todd Greb no longer wants to hold the office, but he agreed to assist the new Publicity Director and will also do the banquet program if needed.  Bob Ornosky of Quakertown was suggested as new Publicity Director and will be contacted before next meeting.                         

 

 

Note from President:  Thanks all team representatives, players and officers for an outstanding year in 1996 and looks forward to another great year in 1997.
