·        Commissioners Report

        Phil has sent letters to the Mayor of Wilmington and the County Commissioners     

        Office about the need for more softball fields for adults. No response was received

        from either office but recently Phil had a telephone conversation with the Mayor. 

        Harper stated that the City of Wilmington is looking at an option for a park off 

        Martin Luther King Parkway.

        Phil mentioned that the Coastal Division has adopted the 15 run mercy rule.

 

·        Player Representative’s Report

 There has been some concern about not having umpires for all the games.  

 Unfortunately this is a problem with the availability of all the umpires on Tuesdays

 and Thursdays and City of Wilmington’s restrictions for umpires.

 

·        New Business

-  Joe Seme volunteered to go before the County Commissioners and lobby for more

   Softball fields.

- The board unanimously agreed for Joe Seme to secure hats and shirts for the 55-59   

   state tournament team. Joe also mentioned that we need catcher’s mask for the state   

   games. Phil will check with the managers to see if any are available. 

- The Offices of President and Secretary are up for election this year. Ken Denne and 

   Mike Abernathy have agreed to run again unless there are individuals who 

   genuinely are interested in these positions. All managers will poll their players for 

   any candidates.

      - A picnic committee of Ken Denne, George Rose, Marty Plage, Harry Rowe and Bob 

         Perry was appointed to make plans for a league picnic to be held August 28, 2003
