Take the plunge!!

Hey Little League families!
 
The Athens Little League Board of Directors has decided to join with COARC in support of their annual Polar Plunge fundraiser!  We realize that jumping into freezing cold water in the middle of February is not for everyone so we have two ways that you can show your support!  The first way is to join our team and take a plunge, all of the money you raise will be split between the Athens Little League and COARC.  If you don't like the cold, then please visit our team page and sponsor one of us!  Your donation will go a long way towards warming us up after we brave those cold waters!
 
To join our team:
 
 
If you don't have what it takes to jump in, then please considering making a donation:
 
 
If you have any questions about this fundraiser, please contact Amanda Boomhower, amandaboomhower@gmail.com or 518-291-7185.
 
Thank you for your support!

Special Board Meeting

There will be a special board meeting on Saturday October 15th from noon till 1 pm in the  downstairs meeting room of the Community Center. The purpose of the meeting is to elect one more person to complete the required 15 member board, and to decide upon and assign individuals to specific committees. All board members are requested to be present, and anyone interested in the final open position should also attend.

There is also a tentative field maintenance day planned for this coming Saturday (October 8) at 7 am. This is to winterize both the baseball and softball fields and make certain needed repairs since the season ended. Anyone interested should meet at the little league field first.

If there are any questions, contact any board member.
