BOSL NEWS – President's Message 2013

Welcome everyone, to the 33rd season of the BOSL!
 
I remember about six years ago I was looking to join a slo-pitch league. I hadn’t played in fifteen years but I had decided it was time to get some of my youth back. After some quick internet searching I found the BOSL website. The first paragraph on the front page described the core value of the BOSL which is “Fun and Fellowship”. That impressed me. I joined right away. As it turns out it was a great decision. I have enjoyed six years in this league and met many new friends. Today, I am honoured with the privilege of being your President and moving this league forward into 2013 with that same core value at the forefront of everything I do.
 
We have 16 teams with 14 players per team this year.  There are over 25 new players on our rosters. I hope our new players find this league as much fun as I have. Please be sure to let them know about our unwritten “new guy buys the beer” policy. Ha!

I am excited to tell you that we have selected Habitat for Humanity Burlington to be our charity of choice for the 2013 season. I have worked with Habitat in the past, and it was a very rewarding experience. They have a great concept, and are certainly very worthy of our support. We are currently working on an opportunity for the members of our league to participate in a Habitat house build sometime this summer. You’ll hear more about that soon!

The BOSL board of directors has been busy all winter making sure we are ready to go on opening day. Our primary goal is to provide you with a well run ball league that you would feel confident in recommending to your friends and family.  I hope your baseball experience this summer is nothing short of excellent. Fun & Fellowship, that’s what it’s all about.
 
See you on the field,
 
Larry Gagnon
BOSL President
