4. Pictures will taken for each applicant and submitted along with each applicant’s background check paperwork
5. Applications will be processed by the HPCRC Department Human Services Section
6. Results will be provided to league Presidents on a weekly basis
7. Denials will be sent by US mail to volunteers and by e-mail to Leaguerettes Presidents
