Marc with the Mariners put us down to meet with them at the game on Sept. 30, so we are clear to have our state meeting the following day if Bob can get that date reserved for us.

State Pre-Congress Meeting
by Glen Dickason 20 May '22

20 May '22

I would like to have a Zoom meeting Thursday, May 26, at 7 p.m. to discuss the Congress agenda. It was the only date with just one person able to attend. Scott, perhaps you can get a stand-in, or provide written information about your thoughts on the agenda items. I will be happy to read whatever you provide to the group. I don’t know if I have put this out, but District 4 will take the 8-10 softball tournament. I will set up a meeting and send an email invitation. Please let others on your staff know if you want them involved.

Fwd: Umpire Help
by Tim Neasham 18 May '22

Perhaps try reaching out to Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake? They’ve got a decent baseball program and maybe the college can coordinate something like a work-study program? -- Tim Neasham Sent from my smartphone. Please excuse my brevity.

Umpire Help

All, Othello has reached out for help with umpires. Normally I wouldn't write an email like this, because it's not your problem. however, I am looking for ideas on how to help them. The story is this: Othello had been a city league for the last few years (like 10 or 20) - 4 years ago, just before COVID, they were one of the people I contacted that I got to sign up for Little League. Then their director got let go. then they hired another one, then Covid hit and that director went by the wayside, now they have one that took over and they re-activated their Little League program (March I think). Now they don't have umpires. We have a ton of kids signed up and for the first time in 10+ years there is a league from Othello coming to Districts. Now they need umps. Anybody got any ideas?

Pre-Congress Meeting
by Glen Dickason 13 May '22

13 May '22

Mike Ray reminded me that we generally have a regional pre-congress meeting at which the state administrators get together and see what we are all thinking. Since we didn’t have a regional pre-Congress, we should have a state meeting. Please let me know what works best. I’m thinking most of us are available most evenings so I’m going to make a list of possible dates. Monday, May 16; Tuesday May 17; Wednesday, May 18; Thursday, May 19; Friday, May 20; Saturday, May 21; Sunday, May 22; Monday, May 23; Tuesday May 24; Wednesday, May 25; Thursday, May 26. Please let me know which DO NOT work. We’ll see which dates are available to the majority and set a Zoom meeting for then. I would propose a 7:00 meeting time. I would also suggest that if you are not attending, you might want to have your representative to Congress sit in on the meeting. I’ll start: May22 isn’t a great day for me, but I can make all days work.

Update on Tournaments
by Glen Dickason 11 May '22

11 May '22

This is the latest. District 2 has taken Junior State baseball. Bob Toigo is having Ed make a tournament participation report, so we should have a chance to state which state tournaments we will all be participating in. District 3 lost its field for 8-10 softball. Apparently ASA didn’t want us bringing in a state Little League tournament, although no one will admit that is the problem. I think I have a new placement, but it may be a baseball field with rubber removed. If anyone has a league that is excited about hosting, we’ll give it up, but if not, we will work it out.
