State Meeting
by Glen Dickason 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

We will hold a state meeting on Saturday in the main meeting room at the Anaheim Hilton immediately following the regional roundtable at that site. On the agenda is setting state dates. I have attached my original proposal including alternate state dates. The alternate dates attempted to move most tournaments so they ended two weeks before the anticipated (but not confirmed) regional dates. We can hopefully hash these out fairly quickly. If you have other ideas beyond these two, please send it out in advance so we will all have something to ponder prior to the meeting. My printer isn’t working, so unless I can get it fixed in the next two days, I won’t have a paper copy of this. Also, if you have a comcast email address. You have not been receiving information from the westregion email. You get stuff from Kit or other individuals only. All that I know I didn’t get was the December webinar and the regional roundtable instructions (which I’m reprinting below). I found out about both when I asked when information would come out. Kit figured it out today. I provided an alternate email address so I’m not left out in the future. If there is anything else you can see I’ve missed (such as region tournament dates), please let me know. Also – Does anyone know what has happened to Don Hester? His email is all being returned and he doesn’t answer his phone or texts. From: Kit Golden Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2024 9:13 PM To: westregion(a)littleleague.org <westregion(a)littleleague.org> Subject: Region Round Table Information We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week and wanted to send out some quick reminders: Registration will be from 9am - 12:30pm Friday - This is where DAs or their delegates will pick up your Districts badges, debit card, etc. Table assignments will be on your badge unless we received your registration information after they were printed and shipped from PA. We will be able to assist you directly if that is the case. Little League will be paying for each District's delegate's hotel room for Friday & Saturday night. This will be done by a direct billing. The hotel may ask for a credit card for incidentals - LLI will not cover incidentals. Self-park is $6 the first hour and $2 for every hour after that with a daily max is $20 per day. Valet is $39. Overnight parking is $24 /night. Little League will not be covering this expense. If you need a ride from the airport to the hotel, please call 888-364-2787. This is for the Anaheim Resort Transportation EZE shuttle service. We will be utilizing an app called Poll Everywhere on your smart phones. I recommend downloading it in advance so that you are ready to go for the first session on Friday If you need assistance during the event, West Region staff will be in attendance- just look around for us!

Unclaimed Property
by Glen Dickason 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

Tonya Henry suggested that all DAs should have each of their leagues go to WA Unclaimed Property and search for their league name. There appears to be a lot of Washington State Little Leagues that are owed money by the state. I went in and found several leagues in my district that are owed money. You might also check just “Little League” in addition to leagues by name. I found a couple of those entries with the address of one of the former presidents of a league in my district.

Child Porn Case

https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/01/11/former-mill-valley-little-league-di… FYI For those who leagues who don’t think background checking everyone is important … I asked my leagues to think about this story with their league named. He may have never been anything but a board member, but the league is tainted for a long time. I have asked for some clarification as to his role and if it happened before background checks. It is also possible it wasn’t even Little League. Media tends to call all youth sports Little League.

Did everyone get the pre-recorded December webinar today? For some reason it didn’t get to me, so I was wondering if others had been missed.

The Seattle Outreach Clinic has reached maximum capacity every year! Happy Holidays, Dennis Williams West Region Little League Umpire-in-Chief

Re: [Wadas] Championship Banner Option?
by Glen Dickason 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

I have been using the vintage banners because my leagues have them posted at their fields and wanted to have matching banners. At the state tournaments we had, however, I saw vintage, and the new style in several different colors, so there is no wrong answer for this one. Just do what you or your leagues prefer.

Good morning, What banner (option 1, 2 or 3) do I select for baseball and softball all-star discrict champions? Just want to make sure D10 matches the rest at state tourements. 😊 Thank you!
