I would like to thank everyone for their time and patience in helping with the Spring Sign-ups for all or part of our three dates. Through this collaborated effort, we managed to get through it and get it done for the kids.
For late sign-ups, contact Karen Conroy at kconroy6@fuse.net or 451-0017. There is a $20.00 late fee accessed to any late sign-up in addition to any other applicable fees.
Do not forget the Major Raffle Drawing will be held at our April General Membership meeting. Those awards are for 1st place $500.00, 2nd place $300.00, and 3rd place $200.00. If you have tickets to turn in, you can mail them to DAA, P.O. Box 389249, Cincinnati, Ohio 45238 or you can hand them over to any Executive Board or Manager's committee member and they will see that your tickets get placed in the hopper. Our raffle will carry into our fall sign-ups as well.
Speaking of Fall Sign-ups. The dates have been set. They are as follows:
Tuesday, April 8, 2008 6:00-8:30 C.O. Harrison

**Reminder** Fall Sports Coordinators. Budgets for Fall Sports are due at the March Executive Board meeting, March 14, 2008 at Delhi Middle School.
Fingerprinting for background checks will take place at our February meeting. If you are intending on coaching any team in our organization you must be fingerprinted. NO ONE will be permitted on the fields coaching the children without being fingerprinted. If you were fingerprinted last year, you will need to sign a consent form to have your background check run again for 2008.
These sign-ups are for baseball, softball, t-ball, and soccer.
FEE TABLES for each sport are listed on the website, www.daasports.com
As a reminder, our sign-up dates are advertised in the Delhi Press as well as the local school flyers that are sent home weekly with your children. Look for our Fall 2008 sign-up dates in March's newsletter and on our website.
Please note: Delhi Athletic Association will have three scheduled sign-ups for all sports with the 3rd sign-up considered the last and final sign-up. Any sign-up after the 3rd sign-up (Jan. 24 2008) is considered a late sign-up. Any and all late sign-ups will be accessed a $20.00 late fee in addition to all applicable fees.
Our Spring Raffle carries into 2008. The prizes are $500.00 for 1st place, $300.00 for 2nd place, and $200.00 for 3rd place. The Major raffle drawing will take place at our April general membership meeting.
Beginning in February, the names of those individuals who have not returned their uniforms or equipment will be posted on the website and in the newsletter. The coordinators and board members of this organization spend many hours attempting to contact those who cannot seem to turn in the equipment that is the property of Delhi Athletic Association. If the equipment is not returned as requested, I have no choice but to report the equipment to the local police as stolen property. If you are having problems contacting your coach to return uniforms, contact Equipment Coordinator, Gary Brummett or any board member and they will make arrangements with you to get it returned and accounted for.
SUPER BOWL SUPER BOWL - It is official!! Another Delhi First!! Delhi will be hosting the Super Bowls for the 2008 season at Oak Hills High School. They will be held Nov. 15 and 16. We will need plenty of help from everyone to make this a success. Announcers, Grill Team, set-up, take down, clean-up crew, all are welcomed!
Coaches applications for 2008 Head coaching positions are due by the March general membership meeting, March 20.
Head coaches applications are being accepted through the March general membership meeting. Please fill out an application on line, or see Manager's Committee Chairman, Tony Hover or myself for an application.
It is my privilege to be the Chairperson for the 2008 Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame has been in existence since 1965 recognizing those individuals who have gone over and beyond the call of duty for the advancement of Delhi Athletic Association as well as serving the youth of DAA. To date, 101 members have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. A complete list of past inductees can be found on the website under the Hall of Fame tab. It is an honor to be nominated by one of your peers. Nominations are now open and will remain open until June 1, 2008. To nominate an individual, simply call me or send me an e-mail advising who you would like to nominate. The nominee can be both an active member (a member currently active in the organization who meets the minimum requirements) or an inactive member (an individual who has not been active in the organization for the last three years who meets the minimum requirements). The minimum requirements for consideration are (1) Nominee has been an active member for seven (7) years, (2) Nominee has held an elected office for at least one (1) year or served on two (2) separate committees, and (3) Nominee has served in the capacity as a team manager, a coach, a supervisor of the farm system or intramural of a field manager, for a period of not less than five (5) years. A Hall of Fame application will be forwarded to the nominee for completion to assure that all accomplishments and contributions are correct and accurate for consideration. Past Hall of Fame inductees will then meet to vote on the nominees for consideration of induction into the Hall of Fame. Inductees for 2008 will be inducted at the July monthly meeting. I am sure there are many qualified individuals worthy of this recognition who have or are still demonstrating the qualities of Honor, Integrity and Service. Now is the time to begin thinking of such worthy individuals for June 1st will be here before you know it. If you have any questions, you can call me at 922-2152 or email me at irefem@fuse.net.
