Rosemont Little League & CRPD Will Hold Fundraisers Instead of Field Rental Fee

A planned fee increase that had Rosemont Little League parents up in arms has been thrown out–at least for now.

The league rents fields from the Cordova Recreation and Park District each year, and this year the fees .

But after a special meeting between the two groups, this year's fee will be replaced by fundraisers.

"For this year only, in lieu of charging each participant $10, the District will enter into an agreement with the Rosemont Little League to participate in fundraisers," Cordova Recreation and Park District Administrator Jim Rodems said in an emailed statement. "The fundraisers are still to be determined, but are anticipated to take place in June or July.  The field rental fees are still in effect."

Little League President Tina Klostermann said she hopes fundraisers will be able to replace the fee each year.

"CRPD and RLL will be working together as a team," Klostermann said. "Together along with [the Rosemont Community Association] we are going to try to get the community more active in the youth sports programs."
