Important Message from Northside's President

Dear Northside Family & Friends,
 
As I reflect on my first year in the role of President, I look around at all our success and feel proud of the job we have done.  Our success is fully dependent upon the dedicated volunteers that serve our local families, and now is the time that we set the tone for the year to come. 
 
The time of the year for electing a new Board of Directors is upon us. All positions on the Board are open for nomination and need to be filled. Every year we lose key people as their children age out of our league.  Our continued success is dependent on energetic people that care about Northside who are willing to help further our mission and keep Northside on the forefront of leagues where local children want to play baseball. 

A strong Board is the key to having a strong league. We need more people willing to give a little time and effort to keep the league moving in the right direction. If you or someone you know would be interested in joining us, please let us know as soon as possible by sending an email to ncrlbaseball@gmail.com.

If you would like to know more about what we do as a board to aid in your decision to help us, please come to our meeting this Tuesday night, September 1st. It will be held at Sutherland Middle School Library at 8:00 PM.  Meeting minutes from the past year are always available for your review on our website on the BOD Minutes page.

Three years ago, I heard former President Chris Clarke’s plea for help and decided to learn more about helping the organization.  Over the past few seasons I’ve really enjoyed meeting an amazing and unique group of people who put your children first, and give of themselves to see the smiles and hear the cheers from the sidelines.  At first, I was unsure of how I could help – we all started out that way.  You really don't need any experience as we all started out with none. Luckily we have had great people willing to teach others through the years and help build this league into what it is today.

Please help us continue to grow and provide a great environment for these children to play ball.  We really need your help.

Sincerely,

Alice Riccabona
NCRL President
