Dave Reagle, Championships Tournament Director says fare well….

Dave Reagle, our Championships Tournament Director for its first five years, and current board member, announced during the board’s annual meeting on July 19 that he is resigning his positions on the state board. This was a difficult decision for Dave to make, and emotions were very high among many at the meeting.

Dave has three grand children, all boys. He has devoted a lot of his energy and time to them.  He currently serves as a t-ball coach for two of them and of course there is more to it than then just that. This is where Dave’s heart is, and thus he must follow it.

The Board of Directors quietly accepted Dave’s resignation. We all wish to thank Dave for what he has done for us during his years of service to this board, but a simple thank you is just not enough.  We understand and admire his decision, he of course he will be missed at the tournament, board meetings and more, but we know that will hear from him from time to time. We are assured of at least one visit from Dave, for he committed to be at the 11 and Under Center for the Pepsi Tournament in 2009. So even in retirement, so to speak, he really can’t completely stay away.

Thank you Dave, thank you so very much, and best wishes.

The Pennsylvania State Board of Directors.
