To the Editor:
As the grass greens and flowers bloom, it signifies spring is here once again. With that comes the start of the youth baseball season.
I would like to take this opportunity early on to thank all the local businesses that sponsor a team year after year. You are the heart and soul of community as well as our baseball program. I would also like to thank the board members and parents who step up to the plate to coach or simply lend a helping hand because your dedication and hard work are reflected through the success of our youth. If you take a look around our community, you will notice we have several new fields and updates to existing fields that are still in the works. There are many thanks due to several individuals such as Stephanie Carter, Pat and Tiffany Howelll for assisting with building new roofs at Ann Green Field; Lumber Service and Miller’s Metals sales for their assistance in our project; Dave Lashley for building and donating benches at three fields for our youth to sit on; Mike and Lisa Blake, owners of Seven Spring Fence for their labor and various donations; Gregg and Wendy Gotschall, owners of Gotch and Co. for their mowing/grass services; and Jeff and Darla Tipton, owners of Tippy’s Hauling. Without all of your assistance, continued success, growth and development of this youth baseball program would not be possible. Your assistance is more than appreciated and necessary.

Anyone interested in donating to the youth baseball program should contact one of the following board members: Jeff Carter, Belinda Mach, Judy Noble, Lynn Noble, Rob James, Rich Mitchell, Ryan Shaw or Dick Griffin.
