Election Results At the October 5 meeting, officers were elected for the 2009/10 season as follows:
President – Rick Kohl
Vice President – Tom Perron
Treasurer – Sherry Lambert
Secretary – Kathryn Tretter
Please welcome them by offering your support. As outgoing president, I can tell you that there can never be enough dedicated volunteers, and your help will be appreciated more than you will know.
New Volunteers Needed Along with the new officers, ELBR is in need of new volunteers to help with big jobs and small. East Lyme Babe Ruth is a 100% Volunteer Organization that is proud to offer baseball to our youth, and the generosity of volunteers who coach and offer other support in a variety of capacities is the lifeblood of the league. Our volunteers drive the success of East Lyme Babe Ruth baseball, and bringing in new, dedicated individuals with the best interests of the players at heart is very important. Please contact any board member if you have interest in offering your time and talents to the league in any way.
November Meeting Please join us at the next meeting, tentatively scheduled for:
Monday, November 9, 2009
8:00 p.m.
in the Chendali Room
at the East Lyme Community Center
(Library Complex)
Come to share your thoughts on the league or just to learn a little about how it all works.
New Bat Rule In case you missed it in last month’s newsletter, the Babe Ruth Baseball 13-5 Division has adopted standards for metal bats that limit the diamater of a bat to 2-5/8 inches (i.e., maximum diameter of 2-5/8"). This rule, a national Babe Ruth standard, applies specifically to the 13-15 Division only. Please keep it in mind if you are thinking of new bats for holiday gifts. The new regulation begins with the 2010 season.

Comment It has been my pleasure to serve East Lyme Babe Ruth as president in recent years. At the start of every season I was always moved by the number of player participants. The kids are playing ball. They’re having fun. They’re staying active, engaged and involved. Because East Lyme Babe Ruth has focused on the players as a group, it appears that we have had success. Thanks to everyone who played a part in those efforts over the years. Now, I’m on to … well, maybe some golf, windsurfing, snowboarding, ...
Sincerely,
George Belke
Past President
