Letter from the Chairman – 2008
Greetings fastball fans!
Once again, a hearty welcome to all who have convened in our wonderful little village for the 2008 edition of the World Fastball Invitational.
If you have visited us in the past you have seen first hand what an amazing event we put together.. For those first timers or anyone considering making the trip to Monkton, I can assure you this… you are in for the very best fastball (and so much more!) jammed into one week-end on the planet!
For each of the last 5 years, I have told myself that come June 1st, I will have composed and forwarded this letter to Andy (Bader) in order to meet our deadlines and printing this wonderful program in which you are reading. Yet my daily rigors (and perhaps a little procrastination) have left me typing this out in the eleventh hour once again. The old adage of how time flies certainly applies here.
Andy you’re an amazing guy and a very important part of the success of this event. We are forever grateful for your time, effort, passion and love of our town, it’s residents and the game of softball itself.
This past year has seen a number of changes within our tournament organizing Executive Committee, and none more important than the appointment of Mr. Kevin Quipp as our President. Kevin is a long-time resident, avid player and fan of the game and is as passionate about the success of this event as we are to have him as our leader. I would also like to thank Tammy Machan, another lifetime resident, fastball player/fan and long-time member of our Committee who is a pillar of this event and comes thru time and time again whenever needed. Huge thanks to you both, and as always to the Committee who once again have worked year-round to create what we know as the premier event on the Senior Mens fastball circuit. Words of thanks and praise go out to all players, teams, owners, managers, umpires, and the hundreds of volunteers who have given so much to ensure that once again Monkton shines for the World.
See you at the park!
Brian Baillie – Chairman
