Dave Doane would like to head up a golf tournament on November 20th. The tournament will be at Lone Tree Golf Club. We need lots of volunteer s and committee members to make this fundraiser a success. Anita Westlake talked about tax credit. Donations up to$250 for a single person or $400 for a family can be made to Basha Highs Baseball program. This donation is completely tax deductible and it given back to you at tax time. The money can be used for many things to benefit the baseball program including improvements to the fields.

Community Service:

Connie Fraisier talked about a couple of community service opportunities for the boys.

Hope Kids is an organization that grants wishes for ill children. She would like to set a date to have a group of kids come out and play with the players. Date and time has not been decided.

Andreas Closet is an organization that provides new toys for children while they are in the hospital. Players could have a toy drive and then present the hospital with their toy donations.

Other ideas for community service discussed…

Wellness Center an organization for teens with cancer that could use players to help decorate for their annual Halloween party.

Baseball equipment drive we could collect used equipment to give to needy baseball teams.

Retirement Home players could visit and play games with residents at a local retirement home.
