-A description and explanation of the Clinic being held at the Little League on Saturdays was discussed. Al Aguero started his own baseball clinic which he runs with three other adults who are experts in the field. It is run on Saturdays from 9-11an free to all WNY residents. The first 3 wks are beginners (minor league) and then there will be specialty sessions (infield, catching, etc). This clinic is only open to WNY residents, however, Al offers private lessons for a cost. Al asked if he would be able to utilize the WNY LL field for the private lessons. Someone will ask the town if the WNY LL is allowed to use the premises for services that have a fee and get back to the officers.

-Any checks we get will first be given to Ramona, she will record it, and then it will go to Henry and he will deposit it.
