Sunday afternoon Exeter Minor Baseball Associa- tion held a sparsely attended meeting and the num- ber one issue on the agenda was fundraising, more specifically how to get out of nearly $2,700 in debt i and build up a bit of capital for the future. Under the direction of fundraising chairman Diane Hartman, EMBA Will be having a campaign that will be quick, have a lot of incentives for both parents and players and could raise up to $8,000. "It's a new approach to fundraising and new to mi- nor ball. We're in trouble, its been going on too long," said Diane Hartman. The goals of the campaign are to keep the costs of registration down, contribute to the cost of lighting on the new ball diamond and to increase the amount of money available for tournament entry fees. Universal Fundraising Group is the company of which EMBA is getting a booklet form program go- ing. The booklet is based on the same method of pay -what -you -pull but this one is pay -what -you - scratch. "It's going to be a quick money maker with early bird draws. We play to launch this by April 1," said Diane Hartman. Any player who sells 100 percent of the booklet within two weeks will be eligible for an early bird draw which is free registration for a year. Grand prizes include a mountain' bike, baseball glove and ball and in-line skates. "We thought a lot about bake sales and barbecues but we need a lump sum and we need it now," said Diane Hartman. The first player on each team to complete a book- let receives a Blue Jays T-shirt, batting glove and ball. The secondtayer receives a KFC gift certif- icate and each player to complete a book and return $100 in donations re- ceives a T-shirt. The pay -what -you - scratch campaign will range from free to $2 and go in 25 centin- crements. At Sunday's meet- ing, there were some questions concerning how to get parents involved in the easy fundraising campaign. Different local sporting organizations have different methods of coming up with the much needed dollars to keep things running and EMBA acting president Gary Hartman hopes this will be a good moneymaker. "We don't want this to be a coaches' re - "We need a lump sum and we need it now." sponsibility. We want the parents to get involved," said Gary Hartman. Exeter has had to increase its registration fee for the upcoming season and this is another way of bringing in some additional funds. In comparison, based on the same number of participants, EMBA could make up to $4,800 additional through the in- creased registration. Prior to Sunday's meeting, over 200 letters out- lying the EMBA plans for the future were sent out. There were only about 15 people at the meeting. "We sent out over 200 and it's a little dis- appointing but we'll work with what we've got," said Gary Hartman. Just a reminder that EMBA will be holding its registrations on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on March 15 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the South Hu- ron Recreation Centre.
