A message from the Spidell family . . .

Dear SSLL Volunteers:

Thank you all so much for providing food for the luncheon following Mike's service April 22. It was a generous and thoughtful gift to our family. The field dedication ceremony on April 30 was a wonderful tribute to Mike that has touch our family deeply . . . Thank You. May you all have a great ball season and have FUN!!

Sincerely,
Robin Spidell and Family

 

 In Memory of Mike Spidell
South Salem LL President


You are invited to watch a video of the Field Dedication Tribute and Ceremony.

Our beloved president, Mike Spidell passed away 4/11/11.  Mike has been connected with South Salem Little League before we were SSLL.  He started out coaching his now adult children Samantha, Stephany and Donovan.  He became our league president in 2007.  Mike will be remembered for his passion that all children have access to Little League; regardless of their skill, ability, economic status, family status, etc.  He was the brains behind our all-league carnival as well as Striker the mascot- in his ever-striving effort to make the league FUN!  Mike poured out his time, personal resources, sweat and blood to make Little League work!  He will be missed, but never forgotten.

 

Remembering Mike throughout the season

On Saturday, April 30, 2011, SSLL dedicated Judson field #1 to Mike Spidell, our former president.  To honor the Spidell family and Mike's legacy, we distributed black sweat-band style wrist bands for players and coaches to wear on their glove hand for the remainder of the 2011 spring ball season.  Umpires are allowing the bands to be worn during games.  If you did not receive your black wrist band, they will be available for distribution from the concession stand.  1 per player and coach.  Parents may purchase sweat bands for themselves and siblings for $1.00 each.
 
Let's keep Mike's legacy alive!


 


South Salem LL would like to remind everyone that we need to make sure to leave family pets at home during the Baseball and Softball games we attend. I understand that the facilities are public property however the grounds are allocated to South Salem Little League for the season. This means that South Salem Little League is responsible for the upkeep, safety, organizing and keeping control of the grounds during our League events (practices and games) Monday through Saturday.
 
Our League insurance requires us to not allow pets at our functions. With snacks, unfamiliar parents, children and other dogs it could create a possible situation that would put our League in an area of liability danger. Lets continue to work on a safe place for our players to play Baseball and Softball.

If we see any pets on the fields you will be asked to take them home. So make sure if you have guests coming to watch the games that don't get our emails, that they are aware of this.  We will be asking coaches and managers to help us watch for these situations, since we can't be in all places at the same time.

Let's set a good example for our kids and respect the rules.

Phoenix Inn:
4370 Commercial ST SE
Salem, OR 97302
