MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Posted by Bill Carter on Jun 28 2009 at 05:00PM PDT
I hope that this finds you all in good health and working hard as we near the 2009 tournament season (or for some of you already in the throes of tourney play). For others I hope you have dusted off the beach chair and have found a field in your area to sit back and watch some great All Star play. Do you believe another year has come and gone and it is only weeks before the 2009 Western Regional Tournaments and World Series'?
 
That also means that we are getting closer to our own Alumni Breakfast at the Western Region in San Bernardino, CA. Invites will be coming via email (if we have your email address) or by US Mail and we look forward to seeing you bright and early at the Elks Club on August 15, 2009. It is an election year so we hope to see you all there.
 
Forging ahead with our mantra of "For Umpires, By Umpires" in 2009 we presented funds to each Western Regional host so that the additional funds could be used exclusively for the umpires invited to that tournament. Whether it was an extra shirt, extra hats, a jacket or a dinner, we felt it appropriate to show our support for each Western Regional tournament. Also in 2009 we were again able to provide scholarships for young umpires who desired to attend the Junior Umpire School. These 2009 projects are added to the improvements, additions and successes that the Association has been involved in since its inception. We remain a viable, strong and financial sound organization. I am currently completing my fourth year as your President and I have been very honored to work with some fine individuals who have contributed greatly to the success of the Association. There is more to accomplish, more to do and more successes in the horizon. 
 
While we have seen our membership grow it was our hope that opening up membership to any umpire who had worked a Western Region in either baseball or softball would have garnered more members. We ask you to assist us in getting the word out telling people about our Association.  
 
I look forward to seeing you all at the breakfast as well as the tournament.
 
Sincerely-
 
Mark Bernstein-President WRLLUAA
