GILL has a substantial yearly budget. Our biggest annual expenses include approximately: 800 uniforms, 2000 balls, 1000 paid umpire games, new equipment, and player insurance. Our registration fees, which the league tries to keep affordable for all Islanders, will NOT cover these expenses.

We need alternate fundraising. The League's solution is the Snack Stand, and if the Snack Stand is to be successful, all members are required to select and fulfill one of the two options listed below.

Option 1 - Volunteer:

With this option, you'll be required to sign up for a 1.5 hour shift working the snack stand. Your team manager will have sign-up forms in late April. Once this shift is complete, your obligation to the league is fulfilled.

Notes:
1. Junior, Senior, and Big League divisions (baseball and softball) are exempt from Snack Stand duty.
2. The required shift is per player you have registered. i.e. if you have 2 players registered, 3 total hours will be needed.

Option 2 - Opt-Out:

With this option, you can "opt-out" of Snack Stand duty by paying a $25.00 fee. This fee is "not for profit" and will be used to schedule and pay replacement workers. Once the payment is received, your obligation to the league is fulfilled.

Notes:
1. Junior, Senior, and Big League divisions (baseball and softball) are exempt from Snack Stand duty and Opt-Out is not needed.
2. Opt-Out Option is per player you have registered. i.e. if you have 2 players registered, total fee is $50.00.

This is an important issue and the League takes it seriously. We need to have a successful and profitable Snack Stand to keep our registration fees low and maintain the League with quality equipment and facilities. The Snack Stand needs people to operate, and we either fill the hours with volunteers or paid help.
