GMLB NEWS and BINGO NIGHT

GMLB News

Hello everyone, practices are right around the corner, but I wanted to give everyone an update as to where we are.

First, thank you to all that participated in Evaluations, whether it was in the Fall or recently at Stoneleigh Burnam (also thank you to them for hosting us).

• With the Recent storms and amount of Snow, we are hoping practices can start as soon as the fields are ready. Maybe by the 2^nd or 3^rd week in March, but stay tuned.
• We are still looking for more 6 and 7 year olds (birthdate as of 4/30/25) for our Rookie Division. If you know anyone that is interested, have them register at www.gmlb.org
• THIS WEEKEND, Greenfield Minor League Baseball is hosting a Bingo Night fundraiser at the Greenfield Elks on Saturday, March 1st.
  Doors open at 6 PM and BINGO begins at 7 PM.
  In addition to BINGO, there will be raffle prizes and a cash bar. All adults are welcome.
  Proceeds will help subsidize expenses like player registration fees, umpires, utilities, equipment, and field maintenance.
  If you would like to donate a raffle prize, email: gmlbsecretary@gmail.com
• Last week was our Thunderbirds night. If you missed it, be on the lookout because they have invited us back in April! I will have more information at a later date.
• We are targeting a draft date of players on March 9^th, so should have teams formed and you should get an email from your coach by March 12^th. If you do not, please contact me and I will put you in touch with your coach. I know the kids want to know their division and teams, so we will have that out soon.
• Tentative Opening day: Saturday April 19^th.
• Coaches: We are still in need of Manager and Assistant coaches. If you are interested, we especially need a few managers at the Rookie and AA levels. Please email Brian Winslow – gmlbwinslow@gmail.com if you are interested in either, or need more information.
• At the next board meeting, March 12^th, we will have information for all coaches. Please plan to attend if you are managing, or assistant coaching or even just want more information.
• Also at the next board meeting, we have 3 spots on our Board open and will be considering anyone that wants to join the board at that time. The commitment would be for the remained board season until August/September when a new board is elected each yet. (I will be posting on this on facebook as well).
