District 10 Meeting Report:

Tim H. attended the District meeting. He reported that Bob Sottile said online registration is good for leagues but
Bob emphasized that every league needs to be sure to get the correct documents for new players (ie - birth
certificates and proof of residency within the boundary). This is especially important when it comes to tournament
time.

Virginia no longer makes information available to Lexis Nexis for background checks. We will have to use another site
to get background information in conjunction with Lexis Nexis. Action Item 1: Tim H or Mike will get the information
to Brian on which site to use for the background checks.

We need to send an email to older players who have not registered yet. Action Item 2: Mike will work with Dave to
send out an email to these players reminding them to register for the season.
LL Divisional Play Waiver Request (Consolidation):

We had the support of Bob Sottile, District 10 president, in this effort. He spent time looking over our proposal and
adding information to it. Tim H received a note from the Charter Committee denying our league's request to operate
as a single league. We will be required to submit two teams at each level of play. Action Item 3: Tim H will draft a
letter of response to the Charter Committee.
