Encouraged everyone to contact their Sport Development Officer in their own regions if they have any questions or want more information. 7. President’s Report Tony encouraged everyone to read his report on page 10 of the SGM book. 2018 is the 50th Anniversary of Baseball Manitoba. We will have some events planned to have an excellent year. 8. Vice President - Finance Report – David Whitehead a) Reviewed General Income Statement – Year-to-date October 2017. Looking at some of the positives: In Competition there are more players playing baseball, for Umpires there are more umpires and good spending. In Coaching, more clinics and more trained coaches. Big hiccup in High Performance, with a $15,000 loss in 2017 for the Canada Summer Games. This could have been managed better. Everyone was reminded that this was a three-year program and the problems were recognized about half way through. We have several concurrent three-year programs running right now and must make sure
