Laconia Little League is pleased to announce the NEW Rich Velasquez Youth Sports Equipment Foundation (RVYSEF). RVYSEF now has a link, http://rvysef.laconiall.org located on the Laconia Little League website. This foundation was developed to help area youth that need equipment for any sport and may not have the means to pay for it. Please see more information at the RVYSEF website or on Laconia Little League's website under the RVYSEF tab. You will find lots of information on this foundation, along with an online form to request equipment for your child or a child you know needs assistance. All requests will remain anonymous. Thank you Jack Batchelder and Cyndi Velasquez for developing this foundation that will bring lots of help and plenty of smiles to children that need it!
We've just added a new feature to our website that may be of interest to all Laconia Little League members. You can use the dropdown beside the Cell-phone area of your personal account, Registration / Edit My Account member areas to specify your cell phone carrier. After you make this selection, all broadcast email messages, including schedule change notices and GAME CANCELLATIONS sent from the website will also be sent to your cell phone as text messages. So now if they cancel the game while you're on the road, you'll know about it right away, instead of waiting until you get near a computer or wait for a call from your Coach or Manager.
In order to make this happen, your will have to choose your cell phone carrier through either online registration or the Edit My Account feature. ALL GAME CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES, any position-specific e-mails (Board Member, Coach, etc) and any League-wide E-mails will be sent as a text message to your Cell Phone. Choosing a carrier turns text messaging on for the corresponding cell phone number and you need to do nothing else!
*If you pay per text message, please be aware you could be charged for each Text Message you receive, but for most people and text plans this is a FREE service to you. You can cancel the service at anytime, simply by removing your cell phone carrier from beside your cell phone.
