PRESIDENT // DON JASPER

As we begin preparing for the 2010 spring seasons, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being members and volunteers for DAA.  Our organization is strictly operated on a volunteer basis.  No one gets paid to do any job for DAA, office holders, coordinator, coaches, team assistants, everyone volunteers their time for our kids.  I want to thank all of these people.

One of the things I have come to find out, is there is a lot of misinformation and perceptions about this organization out there.  I would encourage you to attend our monthly general membership meeting (3rd Thursday of every month, Delhi Lodge, 8:00 p.m. until the time changes then we move it back to 8:30 p.m.).  There is a lot of information given out at these meetings.  This is also the place to have questions answered you may have or to find out how and what it takes to make this organization run.  We ask for a $3 donation, this covers the snacks and drink that are available.

If for some reason you can not make it to a meeting and you have a question or concern, please visit the web site, you can contact any board member or manager’s committee member. 

Our spring sports sign ups are:
Tuesday January 12 6:00 - 8:30pm C.O. Harrison
Saturday January 23 9:00am - 1:00pm Delhi Lodge
Tuesday February 2 6:00 – 8:30pm C.O. Harrison

Please note: Delhi Athletic Association will have three scheduled sign-ups for all sports with the 3rd sign-up (Feb. 2) the last and final sign-up. Any sign-up after the 3rd sign-up is considered a late sign-up. Any and all late sign-ups will be placed on a waiting list. Should the late sign-up be placed on a team, the late sign-up will be accessed a $20.00 fee plus all applicable fees. Should your funds not process, there is a $35.00 bounced check fee.

Also, if you are intending on coaching any team in our organization you must be registered in our background check database.  NO ONE will be permitted on the fields coaching the children without having registered in this database. Please contact myself, Tammy Schroeder or the coordinator of the sport you are assisting for more details.  Also, if you are unsure of your expiration date check with Tammy or I and we can provide you with that information.

HALL OF FAME // KURT MECHLEY

Our sympathy is extended to the family of Terry Garrett who passed away on December 18, 2009.  Terry was a long time member of DAA and was very active in the organization.  Terry served on many committees, the Executive Board and also served as the President.  Terry was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1994.  In addition to the countless hours he gave to DAA, Terry was also very active in other organizations for the benefit of Delhi Township.  Memorials may be made to the Anderson Ferry Church of Christ (380 Greenwell Road, Cincinnati, OH 45238) or to Delhi Skirt Game ( c/o Delhi Police Department, 934 Neeb Road, Cincinnati, OH 45233).

We have lost a couple of coaches this year and would like anyone interested in managing a team to see me at sign ups or contact me.  We can always use help.
