Las Vegas Senior Softball Association Members:

With new information and revelations that are being made public, it is important  to update our membership so you know what is going on.

I was made aware again (although not included) that a “blast” email went out to our members in the name of “LasVegasSoftballAssociation@gmail.com” purporting to be from The Board of Directors.  It was unsigned and led some to believe that all is good.

The contents of that email have been reviewed and it is categorically false.

Please disregard it as it does NOT reflect the opinions, stance, discovery or message from The Board.  I verified again yesterday, 6/23/21, at 2:30 pm with the bank and was sent documentation that the accounts are at $0.00.

Please know that we are and will continue to work in the best interest of the total membership.  There have been a few key individuals that have stepped up with their assistance in reviewing the organization and supplying much needed information to help address our present quandary.  Some might not be confident of the BOD, but everyone will see in due time the extraordinary measures we are taking to recover, correct and protect our Organization.  Suggestions posted on the Comment Board have already been done.  We have amassed solid documentation, requested by all agencies we have contacted, to proceed; as we move through the next few days. 

All BOD correspondence will continue to have my name on it, might there be any questions or concerns of its validity. 

At this time we can say that our permits at Lorenzi are valid through July.  That is when our insurance premiums for accident and liability are due.  The new field allocation period begins August 1.  The application process for August 1 and beyond is being done at this time.  It is important for our permit designee to provide liability coverage for the entire time of our next issued permits to comply with the City of Las Vegas.  Please note: I have had in place for LVSSA an ongoing Memorandum of Understanding with CLV for field rental fee waivers for Monday-Saturday mornings that saves us more than $16,000 yearly.  We must not violate any requirements or jeopardize our relationship with the City.

Las Vegas Senior Softball Association Members:

It has been brought to my attention that there is information that has been made available to some of our members and they have reached out to the Board of Directors for immediate action.

As your Vice President, it is my duty to alert the entire membership of the present affairs of our Association as we have already begun to address those concerns and seek the best remedies for the Association.

Our Association is at risk of being shut down. We are unable to pay for our insurance binders and subsequently unable to procure field permits from The City of Las Vegas.  This is due to the fact that one individual on the Board initially froze our accounts on June 3rd with no BOD knowledge or vote for such action. Then this same individual took it upon them-self to unfreeze and take out all the monies of both accounts on June 17th again without approval by The Board of Directors.  Where that money is at this time we do not know. How the financial institution could let one individual clean out the accounts without confirming such action with any of the other 3 account signers is beyond believable. Nevertheless; it was done.

This is an egregious act causing considerable and irreparable damages to all of our 240+ members. If that individual will replace in full all the monies back in both accounts without restrictions, we will be able to pay our insurance and once again accept dues payments. If the monies are not put back immediately, our only recourse will be representation by legal counsel and ultimately pursue this in court.

I will update you when there is information to share - either we will have to pause all Lorenzi schedules or the monies are recovered and our insurance is paid so that members can continue their activities uninterrupted.
