As those with older kids move on we always have member seats to fill. This league, as you may know is run completely by volunteers. There are approximately 14 positions and when we have good people at each, as has been the case, it is very simple and rewarding. Meetings are usually conducted the first Monday of each month. Meeting location is at Skagit State Bank Training Ctr and begin at 6:00 PM.  Anyone interested is encourage to attend.
