Morning all.
As we wrap up our first season, I want to take a moment to reflect on what we've accomplished together. Despite the chaos and organizational challenges, we made it through. My apologies for the long post, but it is worth the read when you have the time.
A huge thank you to everyone who registered and participated this season, with 92 registrants we are well on our way to building something amazing for the youth in our community.
This season would not have been possible without the support of so many amazing volunteers and coaches, including the below that I relied on heavily:
• Terri McCreadie, for getting this whole process started.
• Dan LeBreton, for always being my sounding board throughout the planning and early phases of our season.
• Jaandi Roemer, for being my go-to at the fields and assisting in areas I was unable to.
• Graeme Duncan, for your guidance and support throughout the season.
• Wilf Newth & Rachelle Alexander, for your support with skill development.
• Juli Gilbeau, for capturing so many great moments through your photos (I know everyone is waiting on these, we have experienced some technical issues but they will be sent out ASAP).
• Andy Ferguson, for your continued support through Softball BC.
• Isabel Mckie, for taking over our social media and for being my biggest supporter, especially during the moments I felt overwhelmed.
A heartfelt thank you as well to all of our coaches, our sponsors, and the Kelowna Minor Fastball, Quesnel Minor Fastball, and Softball BC organizations that donated equipment to help make this season a success. Your generosity and dedication makes a lasting impact on our players.
A special shout-out to Trey at Signworks for generously donating our sponsorship banner, and Tyson with Graphicsman for his help with the shirts this year. We truly appreciate your support.
As we look ahead, our club's future depends on volunteers. At our upcoming AGM (date TBD), there will be several positions available including President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and general board members. I encourage parents to consider putting their names forward, as I will not be continuing in my role after this season. Your involvement is essential to the continued success of our organization, and we welcome anyone interested in helping shape its future.
Thank you again to everyone who contributed to our inaugural season. We're proud of what we've built together and can't wait to see what next season brings. If you have any questions or inquiries over the coming months, please reach out to this page, email us at '[email protected]', or get ahold of me direct, you all know where to find me.
Regards,
Brock Mitchell
Interim President
