* There is a meeting on 2/27/2017 that the Maumee City Schools has invited MLL to attend regarding youth sports programs. MCS is looking for questions to address.
* Little League International has discontinued the 17/18 Division so Jason would like as many 17 and 18 year old players to walk in the parade.
* Bobby wanted to state that he is not in favor of combining the 13/14 and 15/16 divisions. This was tabled until after registration.
* A couple 10 year old parents have expressed an interest in wanting their child to play in the 11/12 division. Because of the many age changes their child will be playing their 3rd year in the 9/10 division.
* Dan and Susi have come up with a draft of the MLL Code of Conduct and a Conduct and Discipline Resolution Handbook for board review. Please email Dan with any suggestions/changes.
