Bobcat Little League Clarifies Boundary Issues

The Bobcat Little League Board of Directors met at the Skidmore First Baptist Church October 21, 2003. League President, Keith Petrus, reported that clarification of Little League Rule II (d) regarding league boundaries had been provided by the Little League State Headquarters in Waco, Texas. Under Rule II (d), players residing inside the newly formed Bobcat Little League boundaries will have the option of continuing to play for the Beeville League. If a player living within the Bobcat Little League boundaries chooses to continue participating in the Beeville League, the player may continue to do so for the remainder of his/her Little League career. However, if the player chooses to sit out a year after making their decision, the player's eligibility will revert to the Bobcat Little League for the remainder of their career.

The Constitution Committee's recommendations were presented to the board. After discussion, the proposed Constitution was approved by unanimous vote.

The Auxiliary Committee presented fundraising ideas for the Bobcat Little League including a Cook-off, Silent Auction, Raffle, Calcutta, Bake Sale, and BBQ Sale. Other ideas were presented at the meeting and will be discussed further at next month's meeting.

Ed Wilson presented the proposed budget for the 2004 Bobcat Little League. All numbers were based on prices and premiums from last year. Sponsorship fees were set at $200 per team in the proposed budget. A motion to set the sponsorship fees at $250 was made and passed unanimously. Mr. Wilson agreed to expand the budget to include the costs associated with construction and maintenance of the proposed ballpark.

The next Bobcat Little League board meeting was set for Tuesday, November 11, 2003.
