Unit Walton ball registration set Yes, it's that time of year again! The snow is barely gone and the wind still has a cold chill to it, but it is time to start thinking about baseball. For those people who think baseball doesn't start until June, let me correct you on that. There are organizational meetings and scheduling meetings- that are held in April. If you think that ball registration seems early, it is because of these schedul- ing meetings that it is. If you want to have a particular team play ball, you have to schedule their games now - or never! How do you know you have a particular team group to schedule games for - From Ball Registration! It is very difficult for those on the commit- tee to find coaches for teams they don't know if they have or not. Only ball registra- tion can tell them. Do they schedule games for these teams? Only ball registration can tell them. Do they need bail equipment or uniforms for these teams? Only ball registration can tell them. They know there are young people around Walton that will want to play ball this summer, but do they or their parents come to ball registration - no they do not. Do they call someone on the committee NO THEY DO NOT! The attitude seems to be that the child played last year, the committee should know he'll play this year and the team he will be on. It is not up to the committee to decide this - nor should it be. A 10 -minute trip to registration or a five minute phone call to a member would save the committee hours of phone calls to find out if your child is playing ball. Please make an effort to get your child registered either on Saturday, April 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the library or call a com- mittee member before April 16. Betty Mc- Callum 887-6318 or Joann McDonald 887-6570. Thank you. The Walton Area Sports Club is still short two committee members. Don't wait to be asked! Volunteer to help out the ball park and your children. Thank you. SOYBEAN ROWERS Quality Soybean seed is not expensive. It's priceless. Helping you save time...
