The recent changes to our constitution and by laws can be found on the league website. And while you are reviewing the information, take a few minutes to review the current rules. Our webmaster Bob Pender puts in a lot of time keeping our two sites current, interesting, and informative.

Sadly, I must report the recent passing of a former Niner, Don Froom. Don played with the Niners almost 10 years and was always a good partner and friend. Our deepest condolences are offered to wife Mary Swanson and the Froom family. There are no plans for a local service.
