Hello Orange Little League Family,

We hope you are safe and healthy.

We have three items that we need to take care of.  Each one is important, but we really need everyone's involvement in the board nominations in item 3.

1. First, we need to officialy end the 2020 season.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, OUSD revoked our permits in March.  For the past several months we have tried to get our permits reinstated for some sort of abbreviated season, but in light of the recent surge in COVID cases and information OUSD has released as they prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, we realize that we need to let the 2020 season go and begin planning for the 2021 season.  Unfortunately, we are unable to provide refunds for the 2020 season.  We priced our registration assuming that we will be able to run several fundraisers during the season and raise funds from the snack bar.  Registration fees were used to purchase uniforms and pay the season start-up costs.
2. Second, we still have about 1/3 of the player pictures from opening day.  Please reply to this email to coordinate meeting if you have not yet received your picture package.
3. Third, we need to begin preparations for the 2021 season.  Every year the OLL population nominates and elects the board for the following year.  This is a two step process; first we must nominate eligible board members.  Here is a link to a google form we have set up to collect 2021 board nominations.  We are requesting all members copied on this email to submit nominations for the Board of Directors using this link no later than August 21st.  We will advise you of the accepted nominations via an electronic election ballot after August 21st and will complete the election and notification process once votes are cast.  Please watch your email for these important communications.

The role of the league’s Board of Directors is extremely important.  The management of the property and affairs of the local league shall be vested solely in the Board of Directors. The directors shall, upon election, immediately enter upon the performance of their duties and shall continue in office until successors have been duly elected and qualify.   When considering the individual for the Board please familiarize yourself with the roles and responsibilities described here at little league international, and described here for OLL specifically.

Here is another link to the google form to nominate candidates for the 2021 Orange Little League Board of Directors.

Thank you for your time and attention.  We hope to see you around the fields soon.
