David Harrison |
Not Currently Serving |
Dave Harrison has a unique set of personal
qualities that make him indispensable to any volunteer
organization. As an owner of his own business, on a daily basis,
he must clearly identify and efficiently address issues. This is
leadership. Through many years of coaching with and against
Dave, he has also demonstrated a comfort and willingness to
subordinate himself for the betterment of the group. While this
combination of qualities is not often found, it is obviously
will make any Board stronger. Dave and his son will be at Lamar
for many years to come. It will be a joy to pass down the
heritage and traditions of our league to Dave. It will also
provide great comfort knowing the future of our league will be
in such capable hands. |

his knowledge of the Leagues workings make him uniquely
qualified to serve. Those of you who have met Mike over the

manner. |

Robert Sosnowski |
Not Currently Serving |
I
have been volunteering at Lamar Little League for over 9 years
and I feel I have many of the qualities necessary to ensure my
success as a board member. I am honest, hard working and detail
oriented and I always perform my duties with a great amount of
pride and dedication. I've spent many years teaching our youth
the fundamentals of baseball as well as mentoring them in the
game of life as I've always put an emphasis on character and
integrity. I have a son in Majors, a son in AAA a 6 year old
daughter that dying to play baseball and a 3 year old son who's
ready for Majors so needless to say, I'll be a volunteer out at
Lamar Little League for many years to come. |

Cameron Thrutchley |
Not Currently Serving |
I,
John Cassapo, (Email:john.m.cassapo@williams.com) would like to
nominate Cam Thrutchley for a position on the Lamar Little
League Board of Directors. Cam has been my sons (both AJ and
Nick Cassapo) manager on their A, AA and AAA teams in the past
few fall and spring seasons. He is passionate about the game of
baseball and has incredible baseball management skills. He has
been both a coach and mentor to my kids and I feel he has the
knowledge on getting the best out of his players. His patience
with his players and how he interacts with them has been
amazing. He not only teaches the game of baseball to them but
also shows them how to respect each other, coaches and the game.
Cam would definitely be a great addition to your Board and I can
fully vouch for his character. |

youths over the years and a great friend to all of us that know
him. Val has 1 son in the Majors division and another son in the
Minors division. I am certain that Val will be a valuable board
member in the years to come. |

Jennifer Vontz |
Not Currently Serving |
Jennifer is the kind of parent and volunteer that makes things
happen! At the beginning of the season, Jennifer stepped up at
the very last minute and volunteered to manage a team when the
original manager found he could not. Her volunteer spirit has
helped create a magical season for 13 little kids. I can assure
you that as a Board Member, Jennifer will bring this willingness
and desire to serve to every child in the league. Jennifer and
her family will be with Lamar for years to come. It can do
nothing but benefit us as a league to elect to the Board. |

Michael Mota |
Not Currently Serving |
I
would like to serve on the Board of Directors to help continue
and promote the excellence that is Lamar Little League. Baseball
is a character building sport and takes many volunteers to
ensure that all children have the right to grow and mature
respectively and this starts at the top. If selected I will
strive to do the best for all involved in the league. Thank You. |
