We tried to differentiate between Jack Webster's program and our program by calling it Iffy Bitty baseball. F. Driscoll suggested perhaps not calling the program Itty Bitty Baseball and suggested including softball in the program title. It was decided to leave the name unchanged but make it clear in the program description to be inclusive to both genders. Jan 20th will be, registration day we could probably use volunteers. The program will run April to June. The Recreation Division will allocate Mr. Webster field space to continue his program. J. Feudo relayed conversation he had with Jack Webster. J. Feudo explained to Mr. Webster the financials and other reasons for starting town run spring league program and about field space and other program issues. It's set up the same way. Name and administration is the only difference. K. Kaminer made a motion to accept the Itty Bitty Baseball program, R. Schaffer seconded the motion. Motion passes in favor of approving the Itty Bitty Baseball program by a vote of 6-0-0.
