Owners Tom Rowland and Brian Williams joined GM Blagica Bottigliero in Grand Forks, North Dakota for the <a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/\">Northwoods League<\/a> Annual Meeting, our first as a member club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A warm welcome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. The welcome was genuine and warm, and it was great to see and be with everyone: owners, general managers and league staff who have built something truly special. We were proud to be introduced alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/dyersville-dreamers\/\">Dyersville Dreamers<\/a> as the League&#8217;s newest teams. Two new clubs, two new communities and one shared goal of delivering summer baseball that families never forget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A deeper appreciation for the League<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of the trip was learning more about where it all started. Hearing <a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/about-nwl\/about\/\">the League&#8217;s story<\/a>, going back to its first days in Rochester, gave us an even deeper appreciation for the vision, persistence and community spirit behind the Northwoods League. Getting to meet founder Dick Radatz Jr. in person made it even more meaningful. That history is now part of our story too, and we are honored to help carry it forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A sincere thank you to the League office and to every club that shared their time and know-how. The meetings were information rich from start to finish, and we came home with notebooks full of ideas, best practices and new friends we can call on as we build toward Opening Day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full speed ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now the real work continues, and we are moving full speed ahead on three fronts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Host families.<\/strong> We are bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodsleague.com\/dune-coast-quillbacks\/host-family\/\">host families<\/a> on board to welcome our players into their homes for the summer.
