Last year I was the winner mom and did both teams. The other parents are bigger losers than I was, some DID give gladly and timely..others had to be reminded (I hate that ) and others said yes, but never gave. I made cards for the coaches from the boys and they all signed it.
I feel bad this year I did not (not going to do it again) do it...I asked someone else if they were doing anything, and it put a bug in her ear, because she is handling it..the other coach, who is very nice and really deserving, is not getting anything. I was the only parent who brought a snack to their games (twice..no one got the hint..) I am not organizing anything.
Last year we got gift certificates to Applebee's with the embarrassing amount of money we got. I know people don't have a lot of money, but if you have $70 bucks to sign your kid up for baseball, $5-10 for the coach who does it for FREE shouldn't be a big deal..Some people handed me $3...
