NW Umpires and Applicants,

I hope everyone is geared up for their playoff games at this time. Legion ball is winding down with the District 3, 5 and 10 Playoffs getting started and the amateur playoffs already beginning in some leagues. We have about 3 weeks left so it is the time we all need to be sharp. Good luck with these games.

I will be leaving Saturday for Tucson and the NASO Convention. Next year it will be here in the Twin Cities and a number of us are going as your representatives in a number of sports to the Arizona NASO Convention. I hope to bring back information about how we are going to do our convention next year.

A reminder to those of us that are involved in fall baseball: I have assigned all of the games so far and all but 14 games have been accepted by all of the umpires. I still need a few umpires to take care of that. When I return from Tucson, I will check and see if I need to get new umpires for those 14 games based upon your accepting them or not. I do have a few umpires that are wanting to join our group and I will try to place them in those slots if they are not manned by the presently assigned umpires.

Another reminder about our August 19th orientation meeting at 6 pm at the International School of Minnesota.

Peace,

Larry Gallagher
