Volunteers are needed NOW to fill positions on four NWSA
committees. I would sincerely appreciate your consideration of
participation on a committee, and would also appreciate if you
would pass this request to members of the NWSA team your
represent so they may consider participation in the advancement
of NWSA activities.
As NWSA President I will collect all nominations, appoint
committee members, and initiate the meetings to discuss agenda
and process with each committee. Committee members will be
expected to actively participate in committee activities, and
assume responsibilities to further the interests of NWSA and
actively participate in completing committee responsibilities.
Attached are the outlines for activities proposed for each
committee for 2006, in addition to the responsibilities of the
committees listed in the NWSA’s Constitution and Bylaws. I
anticipate each committee will meet via conference call 3-4
times before the national tournament to identify issues, propose
solutions, and prepare material for consideration by the
membership at the annual meeting as appropriate.
Previous members of any committee must express an interest in
continuing to work on a committee. Individuals expressing
interest but not selected for committee membership may be asked
by a committee to assist in a project or process to aid the
committee in completion of tasks.
Please review the attached information and express your wiliness
and desire to help NWSA. I will assign committee membership by
May 31st, and immediately thereafter initiate conference calls
to begin committee activities. I appreciate your consideration
of participation, and hope you will decide to actively
participate in making NWSA a premier wheelchair athletic
organization.

The Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks is hosting the
second Mid-Atlantic Wheelchair Softball Championship on July 22nd
and 23rd in Baltimore City. There is no entree fee. This should be a
really fun tournament. We have access to an air-conditioned gym for
teams to get out of the sun (and maybe shoot some hoops while
waiting for their game), a bocce court as well as an outdoor
community swimming pool. Our field is a nice field although the
right field fence is short. The field is a converted tennis court.
We're expecting four to six teams for the two day event. A
registration form will be available during the first week of May.
For information directly related to our local team contact Mike
