2011 BENEFACTORS

Hudson Post #48 American Legion has supported the American Legion Baseball Program since 1984. This is an important program for the Town of Hudson. Like most Legion Posts, finances are very tight and the money they earn is needed to keep their Legion Post operating. Hudson Post 48 is no different. They have been very generous in the past, but they can no longer support the program financially. Therefore, Post 48's Finance Officer Gary Webster (who is also the State Chairman for NH Legion Baseball) and myself are spearheading a fundraising program which will become an annual event. We are asking the community of Hudson and the nearby area for financial help to support the team in the upcoming 2011 season and beyond.

I am entering my fifteenth year of involvement with Post 48 baseball. I was Assistant Manager for seven years, Manager for four years and I am now serving in the capacity of General Manager which I have been doing for the past four years. I am also in my fourth year as Junior Legion Director for the State of NH. During the years, we have gone from full financial support from Post 48 to this point. We never had to charge a player fee until a few years ago, now it is necessary. We have had some small fundraisers to help our teams in the past such as a golf tournament and our yearly game program. As our funds from Post 48 declined over the years, these fundraisers were needed to offset our baseball budget deficits. Since financial support from Post 48 has now been rescinded, your total support is really important to us.

Our two teams are made up of players from Hudson, Litchfield and Pelham. The ages of our senior team run from the age of 16-19, our junior team from 14-17 years old. Both teams have enjoyed a consistent record of success. Coaches for our senior team are former players who have come back to give of their time. Coaches for our junior team are volunteer dads who want to give of their time to help our ballplayers. No one draws a salary for being involved with our program.

Our donors will be honored with a special recognition in our baseball program. Special recognition will be made to the members of the Triple, Home Run and Grand Slam Clubs. Any donation your company or club can make would be greatly appreciated to keep the consistent tradition of Hudson Post 48 Baseball.

American Legion Baseball is a time-honored tradition in the United States. The New Hampshire program has enjoyed great success during its long history. Please check out the New Hampshire Legion website: New Hampshire American Legion Baseball.
