Question Title

We are always looking for ways to build the sense of community within our South family.  Our Moms & Bombs and the kids' Home Run Derby events were a huge success this year and we had hoped to do a Movie Night as well, but the weather didn't cooperate.  Do you have any other suggestions for similar type events we might be able to hold that can bring league familes together from all age groups?

There has been some floating of the idea of the Mission Viejo little leagues - South, North and Viejo - merging at some point in the future to create one unified Mission Viejo Little League.   If you have thoughts on the matter, please share.  We would love feedback on how our South familes feel about this idea and what they see as potential pluses and minuses to such a move.
