We have had ASA nights at both the Diamondbacks (baseball) and Coyotes (hockey) games in the last year. Those are open to the entire ASA organization, not just the umpires.
Our assignor has hosted an end of the season party at his home for the last few years. It's usually in mid to late August, after nationals and before the fall season gets going. Swimming, food, soft drinks, some door prizes and awards. He doesn't drink, so its BYOB. Out of over 100 umpires in our area, only about 20-30 show up.
