Serauxmen Stadium Amateur. Baseball Association

Transcription

1 Serauxmen Stadium Amateur Baseball Association The Serauxmen Stadium Amateur Baseball Association was formed in the fall of 2017 after the purchase of the Stadium property by the City of Nanaimo from School District 68. At the same time Nanaimo Minor Baseball transferred the management and financial responsibility of the stadium to the newly formed association. The non-profit society was formed with the explicit goal of managing the Stadium and providing for its long-term capital improvement in partnership with the City of Nanaimo and its user groups. The society is governed by a group of volunteer board members as well as representatives from its four main user groups, Nanaimo Minor Baseball, the Premier Baseball League Pirates, the VIU Mariners and the Coal Miners Baseball League. It is the executive board s desire that the long-time supporters of baseball, the stadium and the broader community work towards restoring this important sports landmark to its former glory. To that end we encourage all fans of baseball and Serauxmen Stadium to join the new society to help us reach our goal of making the Stadium the premier Amateur Baseball Park in all of Canada. Proceeds from funds raised from the events around Baseball Week in Nanaimo will be used to buy much needed on-field equipment to provide a safe environment for the youth playing in the Stadium. As well some of the funds raised will form part of the Associations financial commitment to our plans to provide significant repairs and improvements to the Stadium to its full potential Thank You for your Support!
