Hi everyone.

Hello to the veterans and welcome to the new Yellowjackets parents!As Jeff mentioned, he will be working toward finalizing the dinner. I wasn't anticpating being in Florida this year only because of a new job, but my plans have allowed me to be in Sanford for the last few days of UAA. So, I will be assisting Jeff with the dinner.

At the suggestions of Ed Kahovec, I started this parent dinner two years ago with the fantastic help of Beth Guzski. In my opinion it has been a great success. Getting the "rookie" parents involved in the Yellowjackets tradition with the veterans has been great fun.

Since my son is a senior, and I may not be able to ever come to Florida again in Sanford, I needed to pass the task along to someone who fells like I do about getting the parents together, especially welcoming-in the new parents. However, I will be in Florida on Thursday to follow-up on the dining arrangements with Jeff and Beth.

I would like to see if this can become an annual tradition, so I decided to give our dinner a name. It will be called The Yellowjackets Parent Community Network Dinner. This years is our 3rd. Looking forward to seeing you all in Florida.

GO JACKETS!!!!!

Happy New Year

Well, I see that not much has transpired on the blog since last Fall. Time to get with it people!!!

2010 baseball season is almost here.

Who is travelling to Florida this year? The spring trip is scheduled from 3/5 - 3/14 starting in Vero Beach and then moves to Sanford for the UAA tournament. By the end of the week we will know a lot about the kind of team we will have in 2010.

I am looking forward to the new season and seeing old friends and making new ones as we welcome our new baseball family members to the group.
Rich Cannon is working on this year's updated parents contact list, and Jeff Caghan will be coordinating the family dinner in Florida.

46 more days until the first game!! YEAH! Looking forward to it.

See you soon at the ballpark!
