Tri-County Baseball League

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.

Umpires: 2000 Fees $38 — last year of contract.

 

Web Page:  S. Smull reported on costs for the Web page.  The approximate $500 cost (includes start-up costs and fees for 1 year) will allow us to have updated schedules and statistics, Hall of Fame information, biographies, By-Laws, etc., immediately accessible on the Web.  The web site name will be reserved.  For an example of a website similar to what we plan, see www.atlanticleague.com.  The cost is approximately equal to the cost for one year on the radio show.  Options to be discussed at next meeting:

1)         Web site only — cut back or eliminate radio show

2)         Radio show only — hold off on web site for this year

3)         Both web site and full season of radio show

            A)         Higher League Fees

            B)        Discuss possible fund-raisers or sponsorships to cover costs

           

Bill Fatzinger notes: Bill, resigning as manager of Limeport, wished to raise a few issues:

1)         He objects to Boyertown or perceived “homer” umpires at Gabelsville playoff games.  If other BUA umpires won’t travel to Gabelsville, don’t assign them for a week.

2)         Objects to $2 raise every year by BUA — league being held hostage to BUA claims that if they don’t receive raise, League will receive bottom-of-barrel umpires — when quality doesn’t improve whether they receive raise or not.

3)         Requests at least one League officer at playoff games to mediate disputes.

 

Next Meeting: Wednesday, February 9, 7:30 p.m., Spring Valley A.A.
