"I just wanted to help." Guest speaker Lloyd Davidson from Chatham entertained the group with stories and jokes, following up with a few serious words for the executive. The past few years haven't been a good time for volunteer executives, he said. They have the attorney general looking over • their shoulders and laying charges under "ridiculous" conditions and are harried by players taking them to court over human rights issues. However he challenged the association members that if they have any desire to run for executive office they should do so. Many Offices have been filled by acclamation during the past few years and that's no good, he declared. He said he's been in- volved for 30 years and it's a tough job, but one with a lot of satisfaction. In other business the association, members heard reports from the committees in charge of baseball, softball and hockey. All sports enjoyed a good season and are hoping for even more participation during the coming year. Sacred Heart Mailbox Kindergarten• had its Hal- lowe'en party.
