Parents,

We have an opportunity to play a rescheduled game in lieu of practice next Tuesday at 6:00PM, field TBD but possibly Freeman.  We'd be playing Kyle Hunt & Partners who is leading the standings now so would be a good challenge for the boys in a week we have no other games.  I am charging forward with this so please advise if it works/doesn't work as soon a possible.

Volunteer Shifts:

Bigsy Tournament Weekend 6/3 -6/5 – This is our Minnetonka-hosted Travel tournament for our A-level teams and brings in quite a few teams from across Minnesota to participate! We are needing volunteers this weekend to help be liaisons at the field, as well as help in concessions. Sign-ups are here

Umpires – Jr & Sr Program:

Message from the league: Please pass along a reminder to your parents that the Umpires for Community 8 and Community 9 games are in our MBA Umpire apprentice program. These Umpires are likely players within our 12+ teams and are learning a new skill! Parents, Players, Coaches, and Fans should not challenge an Umpire decision, especially for these young MBA players! If you witness this, say something! This goes for ALL teams!

Annual Deer Run Golf Tournament Fundraiser:

Monday, June 20^th 1:00pm start. Registration will be opened this week – and limited Foursomes are available.

However, we encourage everyone to join us for Dinner and refreshments, including the Live Auction with exclusive items! Last year, we had Champions Club tickets, a Fishing Excursion, and more! We are still lining up our items for this year!

Annual Silent Auction Fundraiser

Our online silent auction will run 6/13 – 6/20. We are always looking for local business donations to feature in the auction. Services, Experiences, Gift Cards, items – we love to give exposure to small businesses, by reaching our 500+ families and over 1500 players! If you have a parent interested in donating, please have them reach out to Susie Weir Duwe at  .

Funds raised from our golf tournament and silent auction go towards field improvements, equipment, and player scholarships.

Have a nice evening,

Rachel
