Last Call for Board Member Candidates—Annual Election Approaches
| Monday, December 8, 2025 @ 7PM Mount Horeb Chamber of Commerce Building 300 East Main St. (back door of building) |
| Our annual board elections will take place on Monday, December 8, and we have three essential positions that must be filled: Treasurer, Vice President, and Advisor. These roles are critical to keeping our club running. Without volunteers stepping into these leadership positions, the Mount Horeb Softball Club will not be able to continue operating in the same capacity starting January 1, 2026. Our current board includes three members who have served since the club’s inception, nearly 10 years ago, including those who have not had kids in the program for quite some time. We are at a pivotal moment where families with younger players need to step forward so we can keep the program strong and functioning to its fullest capacity. As a board, we handle a wide range of responsibilities that directly support both our youth players and the high school program. This includes:investing in the softball complex improvementsoffering local, low-cost youth clinics for pitching, hitting, and skill developmentsupporting high school teams through event nights, senior banners, team posters, and apparel coordinationorganizing youth teams, rostering, and league registration providing training, coordination, and support for youth coachesmanaging field care and prep for practices and gamescoordinating umpire training, scheduling, and payment for all youth gamesAll of this—and more—is only possible with a full and active board and many of these items will be in jeopardy without additional commitment. For those who don’t fully understand what the softball club’s leadership has accomplished over the past ten years please consider just the facility improvements that have been completed:installed sound systempoured concrete beyond backstops on both fieldsupgraded electrical outlets in the concession stand as well as added chest freezer and popcorn machinepurchased and installed bleachers at field #1played an integral role acting as the general contractor providing labor and also paid a portion of the cost for field lighting on field #1installed two batting cages with tee nets and electrical outlets for pitching machines; replace net savers on a regular basis and cage #1 net once since cage installationinstalled storage shedinstalled outfield fence at field #2installed concrete floor and steel covered dugouts at field #2installed pitching lanes in the outfield and along both first and third base lines on field #1replaced numerous sections of fencing on both fields and added structural supports to reduce denting behind home plate and first baseadded foul poles on both fieldsrefurbished and painted both dugouts on field #1 In 2026 the Club has already put the following projects in motion:work with school to purchase under fence mow strips for both fieldspurchased fence toppers for field #1working to replace back stop fencing at field #2If you care about supporting youth sports, want to help shape the future of softball in Mount Horeb, or are simply willing to contribute some of your time, we strongly encourage you to consider running. No prior board experience or softball knowledge is required—just a willingness to help and be part of a great program. Thank you for your continued support. We hope to see you step up and join us on Monday, December 8 at 7 PM at the MH Chamber of Commerce – 300 East Main Street (back door of building). |
