Penndel/Neshaminy Merger Possibility

We have been actively speaking with the executive board of Penndel's Athletic Association's baseball/softball division. Both Penndel and Neshaminy are enthusiastically interested in merging the two leagues together. There are many reasons for wanting to merge the two neighboring Little Leagues and all of them relate to providing the BEST sports program for all children in our communities, now and well into the future.

That being said, we all consider this to be a big undertaking and realize it will require a lot of hard work from both organizations in order for this to happen successfully. Jamie, John, Andy and I and the executive team from Neshaminy are committed to meeting with each other as much as possible to make this happen. We have met three times so far and have requested a meeting with the district president, Gary Minster, to review the steps involved for merging the leagues. We intend to have full discussions with both league Boards, and the community, as we move through this process.

At this point we wanted to make you aware of the current state of these discussions and the promising opportunity that is becoming available to us. The mission statements for both leagues are fully supported by all and the main goal is to ensure we can provide a welcome environment for all the kids. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
