| Meetings Throughout the Year |
We have
two general meetings a year
(see
schedule) once in the fall and once in the spring. Reports from each division
are presented along with special initiative and opportunities.
There is always plenty of time for everyone to discuss situations they have
encountered. Each division (baseball, basketball etc.) have 3-4 meetings
prior to each season. |
