H-V Recreation and Parks Department to hold Coaches Meetings
February 6, 2017
To youth league baseball/softball coaches,
This is to inform you about the youth baseball/softball coaches meetings. These meetings will take place at the Aycock Recreation Complex in the meeting room which is located on the second floor of the Baseball/Softball Concession Building. These meetings are scheduled for the following dates and times:
- All Softball Leagues (8U/10U/12/U/16/U/18U) Monday, February 13 at 6:30pm
- Minor/Major/Junior/Senior Baseball Leagues Thursday, February 16 at 6:30pm
- Rookie Baseball League/T-Ball Co-Rec. League Monday, February 20 at 6:30pm
At these meetings we will distribute last year’s rosters so that you can call all of your players to remind them about registration. Rules will be discussed, skill evaluation times, start of practice dates, and the start of the regular season dates. At this meeting we will get you to fill out information that will be used to perform a background check.
You must be present at this meeting in order to reserve your team. If for some reason you are not there, you must let us know by the day of your scheduled meeting. If we do not hear from you and you are not at the meeting, someone else may be assigned your coaching spot.
If you are planning to coach please call me at 438-2670 or email: sosborne@ci.henderson.nc.us to let me know which league and team you are interested in coaching. Please remember that a coach who coached last year has first priority for his/her team again this year. Second priority goes to any assistant coaches of that team, third priority goes to coaches who are moving up or down, and last priority goes to newcomers. You must also fill out a coach’s application and coach’s code of conduct even though you coached last year. These are included with this letter. If you have any questions please call me.
Thank you for your time.

Luncheon to raise funds to support VGCC Culinary Arts students
The Culinary Arts program at Vance-Granville Community College is holding a luncheon to raise funds to help send students to competitions through the SkillsUSA organization. The Valentine’s-themed luncheon will be held on Thursday, Feb. 16, from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the Masonic Home for Children on College Street in Oxford, where the Culinary program is based.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at tinyurl.com/VGCCvalentine.
“Our Valentine’s SkillsUSA Fundraising Luncheon will give students the opportunity to demonstrate both front and back of the house skills, while operating a refined, up-scale event that showcases their work, not only in the classroom, but the kitchen as well,” said Chef Teresa Davis, the VGCC Culinary Arts program head.
She said the menu is set to include, for starters, a choice of poached shrimp cocktail with lemon horseradish cocktail sauce, beef tartare on potato chips with a whole grain aioli, crab cakes, mini chicken and biscuits with Dijon maple glaze, or romaine salad with a creamy Parmesan dressing; for the main course, a choice of butter poached salmon with lemon and dill, Au Poivre steak, or brown butter gnocchi with spinach and parmesan; for sides, a choice of roasted asparagus bacon bundles, roasted Brussels sprouts with candied pecans and cranberries, cheesy scalloped potatoes, or creamy grits with roasted corn; and for dessert, a choice of assorted cupcakes, assorted chocolates or chocolate-dipped strawberries.
SkillsUSA is a partnership of secondary and post-secondary students, teachers and industry, working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. SkillsUSA chapters help students who are preparing for careers in technical, skilled and service occupations excel. Among the benefits to VGCC students are opportunities to participate in competitions, which are designed by industry experts and showcase the nation’s top career and technical education students.
In 2016, Culinary Arts student Dustin Gregory of Oxford won a statewide competition and became the first student from VGCC to take part in a national SkillsUSA contest. Several local donors and the US Foods company made donations to help sponsor his trip to the national conference.
