SEPTEMBER UPDATE

Gentlemen,     

Hoping this finds you all doing well, just need to touch base on a couple of things:

1. As discussed in an earlier email (May 1, 2020) the Executive Board decided at that time, with the cancellation of the 2020 season to roll over 2020 membership dues to the 2021 season. There would be one caveat. If the State Association were to still charge us our state dues, we would have to ask the membership to pay $20/member to cover the cost. We did indeed receive a bill from the NYSBUA for 2020 dues. We made that payment in July. So unfortunately, the Executive Board is asking to please send a check for $20 to Secretary/ Treasurer Dave Greiner or you can pay the cost via the Venmo app at www.venmo.com/Dave-Greiner-3. 

You can mail checks to:

Dave Greiner

7 Dove Court Apt. O

Croton on Hudson, NY 10520

1. The following 4 dates: 10/20, 10/22, 10/27 and 10/29 will be used to conduct a review of mechanics for 1st year and all group 3 umpires, any member in our group may attend. The Clinic will run from 7:00PM-8:30 PM at Silver Lake Park in West Harrison, NY. Our Techniques and Education Committees will be on hand, attendance at the clinic will count towards your 2020 Techniques Meeting requirement. Please keep an eye out for future emails as specific topic and details become more available. 
2. As you may be aware the NYSPHSAA has released guidelines for a return to play. These guidelines apply to fall sports only. The current plan has specific sports restarting on September 29th. As of now there have been no decisions made that pertain to spring sports. If any news becomes available, we will pass it along.

Stay Well, 

Your WCBUA Executive Committee

1. We will not be holding a new candidate school in October. If a 2021 season is a go it is more than likely that lower levels (modified & freshman) will be postponed in the spring.
2. The Executive Committee along with the Education Committee and Techniques Committee will hold a four (4) night clinic scheduled for October 20, 22, 27, 29 at Silver Lake Park in West Harrison, NY. Clinic time are 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
3. It will be a mandatory clinic for all 1st year umpires and group 3 umpires, it is open to all members. All who attend will receive credit for their 2021 Techniques Meeting requirement.

Please forward any new information (address, phone number, email) to Secretary/Treasurer Dave Greiner. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to an Executive Committee member.

For Your Executive Committee, 

Dave G
