Opening Day:  Opening Day was awesome.  Great weather, great participation, great games and great fun.  It has been a long wait, but we are finally able to play games on the new softball fields.

Rainouts:  Friday nights will be used for makeup games starting this week.  Your league directors and coaches will let you know the scheduling details.

FYI, the email notification system has been slow for some comcast.net addresses.  Please check the mcgsa.com website for the latest weather and rainout notifications.

Lightning Warning System:  If the lightning warning siren goes off at the park, everyone will be asked to go to their vehicle, or move indoors.  The warning siren will signal when there is a high probability of a lightning strike, and it is not safe to remain outdoors.  The dugouts, central pavilion, and concession stand are not acceptable places to take refuge.  Please support this important safety procedure by immediately leaving the fields and proceeding to your vehicle until the all clear signal is given 

Team Sponsors:  Business sponsors of $600 will receive a sponsorship fence banner and team plaque.  If you, or your business would like to sponsor a softball team, please contact Dana at danagaines@bellsouth.net .

Ceremonial Brick Sales:  Ceremonial Bricks with your name will be permanently placed at the park.  Bricks may be purchased for $100 at the field on Saturdays from the Auxiliary Committee.  Brick order forms will be available at the concession stand. 

Pitching and Hitting Clinics:  The Sunday pitching and hitting clinics will continue for the next few weeks.  The hitting clinic is at 12:00, the pitching clinic starts at 1:00.  $12 per session.    

Thank you.
