It's been a great and excieting 2009 BYB season. The success of our Softball Babe Ruth and Little League teams has been very gratifying, and congratulations to all the players for providing many memorable moments
That success starts with our Board of Directors who work many long hours behind the scenes to make sure all the elements of BYB are taken care of. My personal thanks to all the BOD members.
There is no success without our Managers and coaches who drag bat bags, make countless phone calls and send countless e-mails. An outstanding job by all and again many thanks for all your efforts on behalf of the kids of Bolton.
It’s a long way from Bolton to Williamsport, PA. But Bolton has a team in the Little League World Series Tournament Their quest starts next Monday. Congratulations to the Elite Eleven that will represent BYB.

Many thanks to Stephen Conlin and Paul Vasington for putting their summer on hold to coach the team.
BYB also has two teams participating in the HLBB Summer Tournament. Stop by and watch a game or two. Many thanks to Karl Vinacco who is coordinating the BYB entries and all field scheduling. This is a great new tournament that gives our 10 and 11 year olds some valuable major league experience in a tournament setting.
By now you’ve seen the announcement about the summer program. Jay McNamara is heading up this first time program with help from Maureen Hayes and Karl Vinacco. This is a new endeavor and a great way for our baseball players to stay engaged throughout the summer.
Stay tuned for an announcement about Fall Ball.
As you can see BYB has gained strength during the 2009 season and expanding our programs to serve the softball and baseball players of Bolton. On October 5th we will have an annual Board of Directors Meeting to select our Officers for the 2010 season. With new programs and some members stepping down, we’ll need some new volunteers to help keep BYB moving forward, so please consider donating some time and expertise to BYB as a BOD volunteer. There are many jobs from website and registration coordination to business related activity. So if you’ve got some time we can use the help.
Look for a parent survey which you should be receiving shortly. It’s web based and only takes about 10 minutes, so please complete it if you have the chance. Your feedback is what drives the direction of BYB.
Lastly, thanks to all the parents who support BYB teams and cheer your kids from the sidelines and stands. Your support and the noise you make complete the picture of BYB.
