Dear Joplin Slasher Player,

It is important that every player report to Joplin no later than Tuesday, May 27^th,

 2008. If you cannot make it, please contact the coaches or general manager and we

 will plan accordingly. Our first game will be held Sunday June 1st against the

 Chillicothe Mudcats of the MINK League.

We will be forwarding information about you host family very soon, Please make

 every effort to contact them as soon as possible and we encourage you to talk to

 them several times before you arrive in Joplin.

There is a player fee that is required from all players in the amount of $100.00. This

 player fee goes toward your insurance, team T-shirts, shorts, socks and team cap.

 These items are part of your uniform and are you responsibility. They are yours to

keep, but you will be required to replace them if lost. Please fill out the enclosed

player bio sheet and return with your player fee. Make checks payable to Slasher

Baseball.

The next thing that we are asking is that you bring 2 items of clothing or hats from

your respective programs. We will use these items to auction off during our home

games. This is a unique and fun fundraiser for our fans. The money will help defray

some of our cost incurred during the summer. Please ask your coach if he can help

you with providing these items. Suggested sizes need to be adult large and up.

Good luck this spring and we look forward to seeing you in late May.
