Volunteer Participation - Board of Directors Consideration
FALL Logo

As one of the largest Little League organizations in the state of CT (and certainly the biggest youth sports group in our town), our success in building programs, keeping our players engaged and improving our offerings/facilities depends heavily on the quantity and quality of volunteers.  While we certainly appreciate all the parents that coach/manage our 900+ players, there are additional volunteer responsibilities that our league must staff each year.  

 

We are looking for parents that would like to become more involved.  Specifically, if you want to be considered as a potential member of our Board of Directors, please submit your "baseball resume" (i.e. a list of your past service to the league, whether that be coaching or volunteering) via email to Bill Poudrier.  If you are interested in a board position, you should plan on attending our next Monthly Meeting, as we will elect this year's board during this session (details below). 

 

If Board of Director participation seems a little daunting, we have many additional volunteer roles that must be filled each year.  We urge all interested parents to attend our upcoming League Monthly Meeting, which will be held on Monday, October 3rd at 7:30 pm in the Team Room at Roger Ludlowe Middle School (689 Unquowa Road). 

 

The reason our league has been able to thrive (in terms of player retention, overall growth of player enrollment and expansion of programs offered) can be traced directly to the efforts of our parent volunteers.  Come on out and get involved! 

 

Photo Day Update
It has come to the attention of the league that some of our member families have not received their pictures from
last spring's Photo Day.  If you paid for pictures and did not receive your order or had any other issues, please email the league at photodayissues@gmail.com (even if you had previously contacted us at our general email address, please resend your information to this new address).   Please include the following in your note, if possible:
  • Parent name and name of player(s)
  • Team name and league name (i.e. Future Stars, T-Ball, etc.)
  • Amount paid for pictures not received
  • Any other pertinent information that you'd like us to know regarding this situation 
We will compile all the data, take action as quickly as possible and communicate progress back to the impacted families directly via email.

Contribute to "Make Gould Great!" Campaign
First Giving Logo
Click on the FirstGiving logo to enter our fundraising site!
Here's a great way for families (and especially young players who will get to play on the new fields at Gould for years to come) to participate in this exciting initiative.  We've partnered with FirstGiving to set-up an online donation page for the "Make Gould Great!" project.

Click on the FirstGiving image to enter the fundraising site.  No donation is too small (if every player figured out a way to make a $10 contribution, the league would collect $9,000!) so if our players would like to feel connected to this project, they can run lemonade stands, email grandparents or other extended family members, post on Facebook, etc.  Again, every dollar collected will go towards facility improvements, so let's work together to continue to make Fairfield American a great league for all our players and families!
