FYI -I should have worn my pedometer. I'm guessing 7 miles plus the trip to Smart and Final for more water and the bank for more change. The dogs are sore today. Note to self: wear better, not cuter shoes...Hahaha!

Opening Day 2014 couldn't have been better! Perfect San Diego weather - sunny and 80! The players looked great in their uniforms, played hard and had fun. The fields NEVER looked better! Opening Ceremonies went off without a hitch promptly at 9 am. The Snack Shack and Aunty Lynne's Hawaiian Ice and Lumpia kept us fed.
Special congratulations to our 13 year olds who have been with MMWLL since t-ball! That's 9-10 YEARS! Francis Goonan, Nathan NGO, Jack Clemen, Tanner Farkas!

And one from Scott:
Awwww
MMWLL, Many may understand it all,some may get it mostly, others maybe have a clue, but we really do have a lady in charge who pulls so much together day after day and week after week. We've been lucky enough to have her for 3 years and this will be her last year. Someone out there, you have it in you,and now is a great time to spend 3 months and mentor with one of the best MMWLL Presidents ever (and we have had some great ones) . Who's got next?
Marybeth MacNaughton, you again made 2014 Opening Day go as smoothly as ever,can't imagine the miles you layed down covering turf at the fields today, and no one "runs the fun" like you do.

And the email sent to managers and team parents:
Well done everyone on a successful 2014 Opening Day!
Now that pictures are behind us,(thank you Carol Weathers) we have a chance to take a breath, possibly enjoy an adult beverage and regroup.
I got lots of compliments on how smoothly things went and how happy the kids seemed. And everyone LOOKED Fabulous!
There are always "bugs" to be worked out. If you noticed problems within your division, please meet with your fellow division mangers to iron out ground rules. Please make sure everyone is in agreement. If things went great, talk about what worked and how you made it happen.
Patches - Almost everyone picked up their LL Patches and they look great! Especially with the addition of the LL 75th Anniversary patch. All of your uniforms have the "set in" sleeves, therefore patches should be ironed on 1 inch below the left shoulder seam. Its a tight fit but there are no Patch Police so line them up and iron them on. Tip - do not put jerseys in the dryer. The heat will melt the glue on the patches as well as the names and numbers and they will start to peel off. Always hang dry uniform jerseys. If your patch does come off, SEW it back on. We have NO extras.
Conflict Resolution - If you have a conflict with a parent, spectator, another manager, anyone and you can't resolve it at that time, please limit it to 1 email exchange with no "reply all". If that does not resolve the conflict either actually speak to the person on the phone or in person in a calm and adult manner. Try to avoid drama. If 1 personal interaction does not seem to be working, tell the person you will "get back to them" and contact a board member for support. Board members are impartial and are here to help. We also want to avoid conflict and drama. If you are getting multiple complaints on the same issue from parents, tell them it is being handled. Do not give details, just say, "its being handled." and contact a board member. We cannot help you if we don't know whats going on and its very hard to backtrack if things have escalated.
Again, THANK YOU for an awesome Opening Day!
Let's Play Ball!
It is what it is...
Namaste
