Community Cut & Paste: Little League Update

Creating Daily content can be tough, so occasionally, we dip back into the "things people sent us" file to recreate them for you in a new and exciting way! We won't confuse you with commentary, discussion of the issue or a confusing point, this is raw data baby! It's time for Community Cut & Paste! Little League Edition!

The following is a message sent to Little league families from the president of the league:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Alameda Little League, we welcome you to our program if you are new in 2007, and we welcome you back if you are returning. Alameda Little League is not really much different from any other youth sports program in our great community. Our purpose, like the others, is to provide a safe, organized program for youth in the City of Alameda, with the specific objectives of implanting firmly in the youth of Alameda the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, courage, and respect for authority. As volunteers in the community, we sincerely wish for you to join us in our efforts to assist these youth in this, their final stage of development before becoming a teenager. We work very hard, sometimes harder than we should because we may not have enough volunteers to help. That’s why we need you, and that is why our youth, your youth, need you! They are children, and they will soon be adults, but they will always need you to be there for them. I urge you to get involved, as an umpire, as a coach, as a team parent, or as a spectator who is positively interested in your son or daughter’s development in these crucial years. Don’t just take them to the game and leave…participate and enjoy! Go out and play catch with your “almost adult” because you will never regret it. Better yet, they will never forget it! Please join us in 2007 for a great year. Like any church or school or any other social institution, we are not a building, or a field, but we are the people who care about making our community better.
