Been out of town...still felt I was in White Plains, reading what is new in CitizeNetReporter. Election Results, daily news, and especially with your detailed reporting of the new Cappelli design. Site is indeed timely, newsworthy and great. Thanks for keeping me informed. Fantastic job.

Little League Registration In Action. The Players Just Kept on Coming.

The 2002 White Plains Little League In-Person Registration sign-ups concluded Saturday with another encouraging day of signups at Ridgeway School. The league is analyzing the signups and what the outstanding turnout means for the league. Estimates indicate registrations will approximate the over 1,000 who played last year, well ahead of last year's pace.
They showed up early again Saturday and kept coming in a steady stream all day long at the first in-person Little League Registration weekend Saturday. Preliminary reports indicate that the league has attracted over 200 new players who have never played Little League before, and estimates indicate sign-ups will be close to 1,000 players.
Parents WPCNR interviewed were enthusiastic, felt the registration process was easy to go through because it was well-organized. They liked the availability of league officials to answer questions about player divisions and age eligibility.
Here's how it worked:
