Union Base Ball Club of Dexter Hosts Recruitment Meeting

The club is looking for members to complete its roster for the 2013 season.

The Union Base Ball Club of Dexter is preparing for its 2013 season by hosting an informational meeting at the Dexter District Library on Feb. 2 at 3:30 p.m.

Members will discuss how the Union Base Ball Club fits into the vintage baseball community, as well as what it takes to be a player or a member in a supporting role.

The meeting is open to anyone who has an interest in playing, volunteering, or just has an interest in history.

The Union Base Ball Club of Dexter played its first year of vintage baseball in 2012 and is looking forward to growing and improving in 2013.

The team practices and plays on the front lawn of Gordon Hall, just outside of the village of Dexter. Players are made up of all different skill levels and ages.

There is an additional information meeting on Feb. 3 at 1 p.m.

If you are unable to make it to either meeting, email unionbbc@gmail.com for more information.

Is there any other way to vote besides Twitter, since I am not on that?

I am so sorry to hear of Michelle's passing. She fought very bravely and always with a smile on herRead More face. I am proud to have been able to work on fund raisers with her and will continue to fund raise in her memory. My sympathies to the Mike and the kids. Michelle will be greatly missed.

Agreed!!

When the New and Improved Dexter Patch was introduced, the impetus that 'We,' decided it was needed.Read More It certainly wasn't the well read denizens of Dexter. It has the success of the introduction of the New Coke campaign. FAIL. Bring back the consummate reporter and editor Daniel Lai, who had journalism boots on the ground and through and through integrity.

The Dexter Patch has become completely unreadable and irrelevant. Starting with the removal ofRead More Daniel Lai, every change has been horrible. This used to be a good source for news. Now it's just a virtual community bulletin board half covered in ads.

Are there actually 'photos' here? With the old Patch format, I used to get an arrow to scrollRead More through multiple photos. If there is more than one 'photo' here, I can't figure out how to see them.

I agree, I look to this for local events and up to date news on things. If nothing else, at leastRead More make news in other communities be about our neighbors like Pinckney or Chelsea and Manchester.

Yes there was a "moving on" story about Daniel Lai (probably up for over a week). TheRead More Patch is "locals" posting "local" events. "We" are the reporters to provide the content for what "we" are looking to be informed about. If we want something different, we need to post it. Patch generates revenue from the content we provide and from the "clicks" we provide

I like reading about Chelsea, Pinckney and Manchester. But some of the recent lead stories reallyRead More have no personal factor for me. Probably what I mean by where's Daniel, is more where is the personal touch he added? Where's the local news written by a reporter? The announcements are good as far as they go, but it's hit or miss.

Thanks, BradP! There are rational, safety-conscious drivers like yourself in this world too!

An unfortunate event with no harm to anyone. Great that you saw that as a teachable moment..so inRead More some ways the other guy was on to something :) I have learned that when I point my one finger at someone else for doing something that I thought was wrong, I need to remember that I have 3 fingers pointing right back at me that make me check my part in the situation. The same being said that when I point at someone who I think has something better than me that I need to remind myself of what I should be grateful for. The other guy could have been a straight up jerk, or he has something going on in his life that you were not aware of...cause and effect are not always a straight line.

Perhaps you are right Shawn and she had something traumatic in her life to cause her to bothRead More physically react and scream out the car window at an 8 year old child. Hopefully, she will understand that she over-reacted and we will "bump" into each other again with better understanding, empathy and compassion. It was, as you can imagine, difficult for me to show restraint at such a bully.

AA.com tends to be down on Dexter. You get the news but with a lot of lame snarkiness.Read More Schadenfreude: pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. Patch was always more reasonable and had superior comments, imho. How hard would it be to get a couple of local news articles from actual reporters? I would really like that.
Julie Wilkinson June 2, 2013 at 10:36 pm
Kudos to all of you commenting above. I wrote to the new editors of the Patch about 2 weeks afterRead More Daniel left and complained about the lack of news and especially local info. They told me that things were changing. If this is the change, I will not be reading Patch anymore. What a shame.

Hey, Wishful. - (Fragment, (consider revising) Nice to see that you've found our new Boards section.Read More (Fragment, (consider revising) It's going to be a great place to add community events, such as the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run. Feel free to post about it on the boards in the same way you posted this message. You also can add the event to our events calendar by visiting http://dexter.patch.com/posts/event/new. See you around the site! Flesch-Kinkaid Grade Reading Level, 5.8 The follow data is from Microsoft Office, Version 8.0, spelling and grammar check. This is not the high quality of intellectual banter, community members of the Village of Dexter are accustomed to. If Clara Peller was alive today, one glance at the new Dexter Patch would certainly illicit a response of, "Where's the beef?"
