Welcome to the new Board.

Particular recognition was acknowledged for President Rick Linehan who deserves recognition for guiding the program through its infancy.

Board Meetings
Newly elected President Rob Blomberg proposed that a regularly scheduled monthly meeting date be adopted. After discussion, the 2nd Monday of each month was agreed to as a target, although several members have a conflict on December 13th. Therefore, the next meeting is scheduled for MONDAY DECEMBER 6th at 7:30 pm at the Recreation Center. Bob Keyes is working on reserving the room, details to follow. Subsequent to that, the Board should adopt a schedule for meeting every second Monday of the month. Bob Keyes will schedule the meetings at the Hingham Rec Center to secure the space. Our goal is to set a regular time and place for the meetings.
Financial/Treasurers Report
Bob Keyes commented on the account balances and we are in good shape on the books (specifics not available at this time).
Buildings and Grounds Report
Bob Keyes discussed recent improvements at the fields. Work at Haley Field is completed with aeration, fertilizer, new fencing on the dugouts etc. Leaves need to be cleaned off (subsequent to the meeting, it was reported that the Town will clear them off). Hersey Field work is nearly completed, the new fencing is in place with the assistance of the Iaria Company. A significant amount of this work was completed free of charge. A motion was passed to hire Iaria to complete the work on the fields due to their willingness to donate time and effort to the cause of the Hingham Little League.
New Business
A motion was made to provide a mailing list of eligible 12 year olds moving up to Babe Ruth to the Hingham Babe Ruth League for the purpose of informing Hingham eligible players of opportunities to continue their baseball participation. Discussion included the desire to establish a close working relationship with the Babe Ruth League, and to adhere to stipulations of the Little League charter concerning availability of such information regarding the players. After discussion, the motion was amended and approved to the following considerations:
We will provide access to only those players eligible, by no means to provide the entire mailing list of Hingham Little League
We will provide access to the mailing service who shall provide only the labels (ie name and address information), for the purpose of fulfilling the Babe Ruth mailing for the upcoming season, and not to provide the information in electronic format for potential reuse or resale to any other party.
Elliott Sherman will provide verbiage (standard Little League material) regarding the agreement with Hingham Babe Ruth League
Newly elected President Rob Blomberg provided the game plan for the Boards next meeting, suggesting that we review all the topics but only focus in detail on specific topics that have timing elements such as registration fees, registration dates, early sponsorship requirements, etc. Other proposed topics for the agenda are to have the newly elected committees meet, review existing material and have them recommend changes to the entire HLL Board. This could involve playing rules, equipment, the wood vs. metal bat issue, etc. depending on the committee.
Meeting Adjourned at 9:30 pm
