The Bobcat Little League Board of Directors met Tuesday night at the Chisholm Trail Cafe. Due to complications in plans to level the proposed ballpark, the board decided to postpone this weekend's planned groundbreaking ceremony. The board will still hold its scheduled bake sale at Papa's on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 10th. Future fundraisers include a Turkey Shoot on Saturday, Jan. 17, a raffle to run in conjunction with the bake-sale and turkey-shoot, and a cook-off in March. The board was pleased to learn that the Bobcat Booster Club generously agreed to allow the league to sell "meal items" during the March 20, High School track meet. In other business, the board agreed to set the player registration fee for the upcoming season at $40 for one child and $20 per additional sibling. Players who take advantage of early registration may sign up at just $30 for the first child. Registration dates are to be announced. The board agreed to go ahead with the purchase of league-management software in preparation for upcoming player registration. The next scheduled board meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 21. Those interested in managing or coaching a Little League team are invited to attend this meeting to fill out the necessary paperwork.
