The Board of Directors would like to say a special thank you to 2-4-1 Pizza and Dairy Queen for their generous donations all season. Again, they really added a special flavour to the T-Ball program and their generousity did not go unnoticed. Pizza and pop were the food of the day at the banquets that were held on September 10^th. All teams were well represented and were treated to all new awards this year. The Valley East Minor Ball Association would like to extend a sincere appreciation to all coaches, convenors, parents, umpires and countless volunteers who helped the Association all year. A volunteer appreciation night was held on the night of September 10^th for all Board members, coaches, and sponsors to celebrate the successful 2000 ball season.
