Rules classes for new umpires or anyone who would like to brush up on the rules for 2008, will start Sunday, the 13th, at 6:00 PM in room 131, Saunders Field House, MSC. Study sessions are under the direction of John Leane. John will have a few sets of books for new umpires.

If you know of anyone who is interested in HS umpiring, please pass this info along to them. Sure would be nice to be able to add a couple of new faces to our roster.

If you have not paid your CHSAA dues for 2008, please do so quickly so the CHSAA office can get your books to you before the Master Clinics. Please contact CHSAA for the correct amount.

Your recruiting help is greatly appreciated by Bernie, John, Bert, Tom and myself.
