Hello Fellow Washington State DA's I am extremely pleased to announce that we have an Intermediate Baseball State Champion—my very own District 12 team, Pasco National Little League! Pasco remained undefeated throughout the tournament, facing an especially tough competitor in Cammie's D7 team from Seattle Central/Rainier; once in a come from behind 7th inning walk off win against them on Thursday night, and again in a tight 3-0 victory against them for the championship game this morning. Now I need to get them properly sent off to Nogales AZ in less than 2 weeks for the Regional Tournament!! Kit has already sent me the packet to share with them from Jorge, but if any of you with experience in this department has any hints or advice to share with me I would certainly appreciate it. Wondering what financial help (if any) we are allowed to provide the league from the District? We have never had a State Champion in a division that advances to Regionals in my 15 years as DA, so I am definitely a fish out of water here, lol...and of course this is the one year in recent memory that I totally spaced off entering the DA travel fund pool that Martin organizes every year!! Oh well, the Pasco league president and her husband, who is the manager of this team, happen to be very good Little League friends of mine, so I will definately be attending the first few days of the tournament to watch the opening day festivities and at least their first 2-3 games. I'm just wondering what sort of help from the District to a league who advances to a Regional tournament is allowed and/or customary. And do you have any fundraising advice I can pass along to them? Thanks! Kim WA12
