LETHBRIDGE LITTLE LEAGUE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Annual General Meeting of the Lethbridge Little League Baseball Association is scheduled for Sunday, November 24th, at 7:00 PM. The meeting will be held in the Anton's Ballroom at the Sandman Signature Hotel (320 Scenic Dr South). All parents, coaches, and individuals interested in promoting Little League Baseball in Lethbridge and the surrounding area are encouraged to attend. There are board positions available for those who wish to contribute.

In light of the current unfavorable weather conditions, we would like to inform you about our league play and the procedures we have in place for handling games and potential postponements.

To stay informed about diamond closures and the status of baseball activities, we strongly encourage you to visit the Lethbridge Little League website. Every day at 4:00 PM, the website will be updated with the latest information regarding baseball activities for that day.

It is important to keep in mind that Lethbridge weather can change rapidly, and a day that initially seems unsuitable for play may actually turn out to be perfect for a game. When the weather is poor, we kindly request that you refrain from contacting the LLLBA league or board members regarding cancellations and diamond status.

Due to the large number of players, it is not feasible for us to respond to these inquiries in a timely manner. The LLLBA maintenance team ensures that the league is updated on diamond conditions shortly before 4:00 PM, ensuring that we have the most accurate and up-to-date information before making any cancellation decisions.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
