As a parent with two children actively participating in the Santa Fe Little League (SFLL), the recent $100 price increase over the past year has left me concerned and seeking answers. It's not just my family affected, but also many friends' children who share a passion for baseball in our community. Watching them play, develop team spirit, and enjoy the game brings immense joy, yet this sudden hike in fees is putting a strain on many families.

In Santa Fe, transparency is key. The community deserves to know why these costs have escalated and, more importantly, where these additional funds are being allocated. It's essential for the Board of Directors of the SFLL to address these concerns openly. By providing a detailed breakdown of expenditures and explaining the necessity for the increase, trust can be restored, and parents can feel confident in their continued support of this wonderful program.

Parents and guardians have the right to understand how their contributions are enhancing their children's experience in the league. Open communication can lead to collaborative solutions, ensuring the league remains accessible to all families. This gathering isn't just about numbers; it's about maintaining the integrity and inclusivity that the SFLL has always stood for.

Let's come together to ensure that every child in Santa Fe has the opportunity to play without financial barriers, and that our community remains informed and united. Please sign this petition to call for a meeting where the SFLL Board can clarify the reasons behind the fee increase and discuss the allocation of funds with all concerned parties.
