SAVE THE DATE - Mon, 12/16 @ 6:30pm at Nipomo High in the Forum (Room 60)

Hope this email finds you healthy and in good spirits! I am contacting you in case you have interest in umpiring High School baseball. While umpiring experience is recommended, we will train motivated people. Pay is $86-105 per game and all games have 2 officials if available. Attend our training meetings for more information!

Here is a message from our Secretary Tony Bautista:

It's that time of year again ... pre-season baseball. We're planning to have our General Meeting on Monday, December 16th @ 6:30pm at Nipomo HS (in the Forum-Room 60). Like last season, there will be forms to fill-out and we'll be covering many details (meeting dates, training requirements, exam, assignments, uniforms, etc).

If you plan to umpire HS baseball, we STRONGLY recommend you attend this meeting! More details to follow in the coming weeks. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces!

Sad News:
Many of you have umpired with Dave Arn over the years-I think he joined CCIUA even before I did. He had cut back his officiating due to health and work issues and recently quit officiating altogether as he needs a new hip and knee. Dave even donated his equipment and uniforms for new officials in CCIUA to use and some of them are already back on the field. He and his wife Becky got another kick in the guts last weekend when his son Devon was killed in a tragic collision with a semi south of Bakersfield on Hwy 58. https://www.kget.com/news/local-news/victim-of-fatal-highway-58-crash-identified/
Devon was a great kid who loved baseball, playing in the league that became Coast Little League and then for Morro Bay High School. He also did some officiating for us as both a kid and young adult. I recently ran into Devon and his girlfriend Riley Jones at a baby shower and we all had a laugh as I didn't recognize him since he has changed so much from when he was a kid. As soon as he introduced himself I knew him right away as he had the same smile that was always on his face playing ball. He talked about getting back into umpiring and possibly playing adult league baseball.
I know this hits close to the heart for all of us with kids. If you'd like to drop Dave and Becky a note or are blessed enough to help with funeral expenses, their mailing address is: 850 Capitolio WaySan Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Riley was also injured in the crash and is currently in a medically induced coma. A GoFundMe has been set up and is another way to get money to Riley and Devon's families. https://www.gofundme.com/f/amazing-family-needs-help-with-medical-expenses
