Would you like to make sure your kids have the best sports experience possible?

The Springfield Youth Athletic Association (SYAA) is looking for a few volunteers to join their Board of Directors. SYAA has openings for five Board positions and one Spring Fling Coordinator position. The only prerequisite for these positions is a desire to provide boys and girls in the Springfield Platteview community a variety of opportunities to participate in sports and develop athletic and life skills through preparation and competition.

If interested, please join us for our next monthly meeting on January 15, 2014 at 8pm at the Springfield Memorial Library. Election of the new SYAA Board of Directors will take place on February 12, 2014. Current Board members are required to nominate new prospective members to be included on the new Board. Once the Board is filled, the new Board will elect the officers for the upcoming year.

For more information about SYAA, visit our website at http://platteviewjrtrojans.com/

“I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”
