It’s time to party! We have a great day planned for March 27th. In addition to our parade, ceremonies, and pictures we have the Home Run Derby, carnival games, a 54 foot inflatable obstacle course and a 40 foot inflatable beach party. Don’t forget we have speed pitch, milk bottle toss and the ever popular Dunk Tank. Dunk you manager kids!
Don’t miss out - BBQ going all day – Tri-Tip and chicken with all the fixin’s for $9.00. Get your tickets by March 18th. $12 on opening day. See your team mom for details. For those of you who want to keep it simple, we will have hamburgers and hot dogs.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the fields. Kids, dress in your uniform (no balls or bats please) and be at the fields to meet up with your team by 8:00am
Our snack shack will be open with breakfast sandwiches, pastries and hot coffee.
See your team mom for team volunteer assignments. Tickets will be on sale for the carnival and interactive games. Carnival tickets .25¢, tickets for all interactive games $1.00.
SEE YOU AT THE FIELDS!
We need volunteers to help set-up on Friday night, March 26th. If you would like to help with Opening Day, please call Kathy Sheehan at 458-2313 or email to bearsmom7@aol.com
HELP FUND OPENING DAY
Sponsors need to help pay
for the cost of our events – $150 OPENING DAY Sponsorship
will provide you advertisement
in roster book, signage for sponsoring specific Opening Day event, &
special mention in our newsletter
Can you help?
Two snack bars run full service during all games. Each snack bar requires a supervisor to help volunteers that show up to work. A supervisor needs to help volunteers with the snack shack and instruct them on how everything works. Be present onsite in case of problems or questions.
Full training is available. Supervise 1 night a week, 1 shift on Saturday or more if you choose. Grab a friend and alternate weeks.
This is a huge need right now. Without supervisors, snack shacks will be closed.
Call Kathy at 458-2313 or email bearsmom7@aol.com to sign up.
A very special Thank You
goes to Dannette Rueger, Chris Oswald, Paul Oswald, Nancy Morgan for all
their hard work in cleaning up the snack shack at Olivera and all the volunteers
that showed up Saturday at the Olivera fields to weed, cut, clean, paint,
and more! The turn out was great and you are appreciated very much!
