**PARKING NOTE** - As the park will be very busy on Fun Day, we have rented the gravel school field for overflow parking, entrance is at the far west end of the school.

There are still dibs needing to be filled up till June 27th to complete your dibs requirement for 2019. If you haven't signed up for a volunteer shift yet, time is running out as volunteer deposit cheques will be cashed at the end of June for anyone who has failed to complete their volunteer duty.

If you are unsure if you still need to do a volunteer shift please check your account, as all DIBS sessions up to June 9th (and all coaches credits) have been marked as completed on the online booking system. If you are coaching a team and do not see a credit for it on your account, please check with your division coordinator to ensure that your name was included on the list passed to the volunteer coordinator for credit.

If you do need to sign up for a volunteer shift, please do so under DIBS at www.cloverdalebaseball.com/dib_sessions.

If you are wondering what you have to do in the Concession, it involves general duties which may include cash handling, grilling on the barbeque, food prep, deep frying and cleaning. Please don't wear good clothing, and closed toe shoes are a requirement. You must be over the age of 16 to volunteer in the concession!

The concession is a vital part of our association, which helps to keep everyone's fees down by paying for all of the umpires for games in Cloverdale Ball Park, so it is important to have it up and operating at full capacity during the season.

Cloverdale Minor Baseball's 2019 Annual General Meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday, June 24th @ 7pm in the Cloverdale Clubhouse (above the concession at Cloverdale Ball Park).

Please take the time to come out to the Annual General Meeting and share your thoughts on the association.  We are a volunteer run organization and are always looking for new individuals to come and help share their talents to help make Cloverdale Minor Baseball one of the premier minor baseball associations in the province.

The following positions will be elected this AGM:

• Registrar: Blastball to Tadpole (2 year term)
• Equipment Manager (2 year term)
• Staff Coordinator (2 year term)

Please consider letting your name stand for one of these positions.  We are a volunteer run organization and need your help!
