VI. Rabberman Scholarship

CRNHS seniors are eligible provided they played CRNAA baseball. $2,000
is our annual max subject to $500 per student.

VII. Fields

At Pickering, the walkways have created drainage issues and need sod; fencing needs to be evaluated.

ACTION: Glenn Siebert to discuss Pickering Field with Bob Jones.

At Chandler, the back field fence project seems to have stopped. Phil will discuss further with Bill Wert and ask about status of front field work as well. We would like to move on erecting the second shed so George Whitney will get cost estimate; Phil will discuss with Bill Wert. Phil will ask Bill to remove lock boxes from all fields at Chandler.

VIII. Equipment

George will get prices for 2 new field liners and a storage box for front field at Chandler.

IX. Treasurer’s Report

Ed Rowen reported a balance of $30,915. Ed will discuss on-line registrations with Bill Reading.

X. Closed Portion of Meeting

The Board discussed issues related to players/parents requesting to “play up” in a division with older kids. As in the past, each case will be evaluated on it’s own merits. However, the Board voted unanimously to require all Babe Ruth players to reach the “baseball age” of 13 to participate in this division.

XI. Next Meeting- January 28, 2008 (8 pm at Clubhouse Grill). This meeting is intended exclusively for the review and potential modification of CRNLL rules for all divisions. All league commissioners are expected to attend. Bill Reading will forward all rules to Board members asap in order to prepare for the discussions.
