President

Jerry Kiphorn

I am a Barnstormers fan and my wife and I are season ticket holders. I currently am self-employed and deal with many different people in the course of my job.

Vice President

Lori Baxter

I enjoyed spending the 2008 baseball season serving as a LBBBC Board Member and Activities Committee Chairperson.  This year, I felt that I would like to take my role one step further and run for Vice President.  I think in our first year of being a booster club we have learned a lot, and I look forward to taking what I have learned and applying it to having an even better 2009.  I love that Lancaster has a baseball team that we can support and cheer on, and what better way to do that then through the LBBBC?!?!?!  I am happy to bring with me many ideas to get members of all ages involved in the club and continue to expand and meet our goals.  Oh, and I will continue to use my "teacher voice" as needed for bus trip bingo.

Secretary

Brian Gossman

Mindy Reed

You could say that I am one of the “quiet” fans at the top of section 19 on any given evening at the Clipp.  If you sit anywhere near section 19 you may have spent parts of the 2008 season hearing my dad and I make note of most of the players coming up to bat for the ‘Stormers.  Yes, that is us.  Growing up, Dad had me watch quite a few baseball games on TV, but sometimes I said they were BORING…  Since baseball is here in Lancaster, I have grown to love watching the game and coming to the ballpark on a regular basis.  It is a great way to spend time with important family members and friends.  I found if the team is here and I am not, I feel like I really should be just to cheer them on.  Next year, I will be by upgrading to a full season ticket plan and I am sure I will even be at the away games sometimes too.  By being a charter member of the booster club in 2008, I have taken the opportunity to get to know more people who love the game of baseball and the Barnstormers, participated in the Project for the Needy, helped with the Cardboard to Leather program and participated in other Booster Club activities.  I feel that I have many ideas that will help the club remain a successful organization over the coming year.  I was Secretary of several clubs and organizations during my high school and college years.  I believe this past experience, along with my current job as a supervisor of an underwriting department for a dental insurance company, affords me the ability to use my leadership, organizational and time management skills on a daily basis.  I feel that I am able to carry these skills and past experiences through as a Secretary and as a leader of the L.B.B.B.C.

Treasurer

Debbie Heisey

I'm a devoted Barnstormers' fan and season ticket holder, and rarely miss a game. I have been the Booster Club's Treasurer for the last year, and would like to continue in that role, helping to manage the Club's finances and working with the rest of the Board and Officers to grow the Booster Club and help it reach its potential. I enjoy working with and helping people, and look forward to serving the Club for another year.

Kelley Breniser

My name is Kelley Breniser, I have been a Barnstormers fan since the opening season. I became a season ticket holder in 2008. I was involved with the start of the booster club and have served on the board of directors the first year as well have co-chaired the Players liaison committee. When my children were younger I was involved with the Manor Ridge softball and baseball.

Laurie Fuller

My family and I have had season tickets since the first season, and we really love the team. To show my support for the team and the Booster Club, I’ve donated the Club’s website since the Booster Club started, and am happy to also produce the Club’s newsletter. I'm the Committee Chair for the Website and Comminications Committees, and have recently joined the Player Liaison Committee. I run my own business, Limehat & Company, and have managed people, training programs, and client projects for more than 15 years. I also run a political action committee, serving as State Director, and in that capacity, I have run several political debates and forums – so I’m comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and affiliations. I’ve served as a consultant to civic groups working to protect the environment, so I’m experienced bringing citizens together with corporations and government agencies to work out their differences and solve problems. I believe my experience in business, politics, and community activism give me skills that I can put to good use for this organization, and I really think that the Booster Club can grow and become a respected and valuable asset to the team – the players and coaches, as well as Barnstormers management.

Jim Hannah

First, I am an avid 'Stormers fan.  I was a member of the Steering Committee, which had the responsibility of bringing the Boosters to life.  Over the past year, as Chair of the Charitable Committee, I have led four different Charity events, Christmas Food Distribution, Daniel's Den Spin-a-thon, Daniel's Den Playground Build, and the Cardboard to Leather Program.

Scott Hurt

I am a resident of York, (please don’t hold that against me) Pennsylvania.  I have been married for almost 25 years to my wife Sindy and we have a 19 year old daughter. I work for RLPS Architects here in Lancaster as an Associate/Technology Coordinator where I am in charge of the Information Technology and Print Department.  I am also in charge of the office’s CAD system and write the Office Standards for the use of it.  I am also on the Office Policy Committee.  I have also helped in the organization of the Office Process & Procedures Manual. I was a church board member for two terms and have been a leader in a scout type program associated with the Assemblies of God church denomination called Royal Rangers for the past 14 years.  I am also involved in my churches Music and Youth ministry where I play lead guitar. I am a Diamond Club Member and my wife and I have been season ticket holders since the 2006 Championship season.  We follow the Barnstormers not only at home but support them on the road from time to time and if we can’t be at the game, we listen to them on the computer.  We have been to every Atlantic League ballpark with the exception of Nashua and Long Island and have attended every away game held at Sovereign Bank Stadium in York.  Was voted Craziest Fan during a contest last season because I submitted a photo thinking there is no way they would choose me.  Boy was I wrong; nothing like having your photo plastered on thousands of First Pitch playbills.  And yes, my license plate is really STORMRS. Other than following the Barnstormers, I enjoy the outdoors and backpacking.

As a season ticket holder, I’ve never missed a Barnstormers’ game!! I have been involved with the Booster Club since its beginnings, and am a member of the Player Liaison Committee. I’d love to be on the Board so that I can help to shape and grow the Club. I think we have great potential to really help the team, inspire the community, and work effectively with the Barnstormers organization. I have a lot of experience with fundraising events, community activities, and working as part of a group, and I’d like to bring that experience – and my enthusiasm for the Barnstormers – to the Club’s Board of Directors.
