At the January meeting of the Glencoe Brewers Baseball Association Board meeting the board elected their officers for the 2012 year:

President:  Mike Paggen

Vice President: Dave "Slick" Sell

Treasurer: Brian "Parker" O'Donnell

Secretary: Lisa Beringer

Congratulations to the newly elected officers!

The Board also accepted resignation letters from Matt Roberts, Dave Hoernemann, Sandy Boesche, Dave "Smiley" Style, and Dan Schade. The Board and everyone associated with the Glencoe Brewers is very thankful for the service that Matt, Dave, Sandy, Smiley, and Dan provided to the organization throughout all of their many years serving on the Board. Their service shined when it mattered most during the 2011 Minnesota Amateur Baseball State Tournament held at Vollmer Field.

John Thell, President of the Board for the past several years, informed the board he would be taking a sabbatical from the board for the 2012 year. Everyone will still get to see John up in the press box along with Dave Hoernemann running the scoreboard and doing the announcing at the Brewers home games. The Glencoe Brewers organization thanks John for his commitment to the organization while serving as President of the Board.

Matt Rolf and Troy Higgins were in attendance and were appointed as new members to the Board. Welcome Matt and Troy!

On November 13th the Brewers governing board accepted the resignation of manager Nate Gorr. Gorr coached the Brewers for 3 season and compiled a 50-44 record as skipper of the Brewers. Gorr lead the Brewers to the state tournament in 2009 and deep into the Region 7C tournament in 2010. The Brewers named Scott Wawrzyniak as their new manager. Dave Sell and Grant Grochow were named assistant managers.

The Brewers 2012 roster will also have a new look. Long time Brewer sluggers Dan Ford, Jason Schade, and Josh Monahan announced their retirement following the 2011 seasons. The Brewers also lost Mitch Lang to retirement and Keith Trudell followed a job opportunity in Green Bay. Returning from abroad for the 2012 season is Tony Beringer. The Brewers are looking to add a few more players to fill the big shoes left by the retirements.
