update

Thank you so much for your patience these past weeks as we have had to be subject to weather conditions. I also got word that some parents were upset at the amount of notice given. Please understand that games will not be called most times until the time the game is scheduled to start. I know it is an inconvenience, but imagine begin from Yoncalla and pulling into the parking lot at 8:30 just to turn around. We have it pretty good. Carly, Howard and I put in over 3 hours on the field this weekend trying to get them playable and still couldn't play. Imagine my disappointment.

That being said, our hard work paid off and we got to play a tremendous double header against our friends from Yoncalla thanks to the weather gods and a friendly umpire named Jason.

I am proud of all our girls. They are all learning from their mistakes and growing.

Please note the following for the coming week:

· Practice Monday and Wednesday at Eastwood (no more sunshine park as it is now may)

· Even though start times can be delayed, please arrive at prescribed arrival times to warm up and prep fields.

· Game Friday Arrive 4:45pm

· Game Sat Arrive 8:30am

· Game Sat Arrive 2:45pm (Rain make up)

· Please let me know the day before a game if your player cannot make it.

· Meat stick money due this week. $48 check made payable to Roseburg Cal Ripken

· We need to man the concession stand before our game on May 16th from 4:45 to 7:15. I need 4 adult volunteers.

· Please make sure players arrive with ZERO jewelry. (necklaces, earrings, bracelets, facial jewelry) This is safety....not fashion.

· Anyone interested in a Team sweatshirt, t-shirt, or long sleeve jersey for supporters? Let me know size and type and I will price the items.

· Online calendar and blog are updated. http://oregonsoftball.blogspot.com/

· Play catch with your daughter in between practices and games! You won't regret it.

Thanks for all you do for your girls!
