Only those that have never been evaluated in fall baseball should be at the meeting.  All of you are welcome to come but those that have been evaluated are not required to be there.  I have already heard from some of you that cannot attend and I understand your situation.  The rest of you need to let me know if you are able to make it or not.  I need a count on how many umpire manuals I need to have at the meeting.  Remember, they are $10 per copy.

EVALUATORS ARE WELCOME TOO AND PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE IT OR NOT ALSO VIA E-MAIL OR A PHONE CALL.THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING IS TO SET SOME GUIDELINES FOR THE FALL, OBJECTIVES AND ALSO TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE MECHANICS THAT WE WANT ALL OF OUR UMPIRES TO USE AND TO HELP WITH IMPROVING EVERY UMPIRE WE COME INTO CONTACT.  I WILL BE HANDING OUT THE PBUC MANUAL FOR THE 2-UMPIRE SYSTEM AT THIS MEETING.  THE DVD I WILL USE FOLLOWS THIS MANUAL PRECISELY 

HAVE FUN EVERY TIME YOU UMPIRE AND TRY TO GET BETTER EACH TIME YOU ARE ON THE FIELD WITH THIS WONDERFUL GAME OF BASEBALL.
