We are asking each family if they can, to donate $20.00 (or any amount that you would like) towards the purchasing of the items for the basket. Please send your donations to Alison’s VENMO account - @AlisonHunt37. (the last 4 digits of her cell are 7385, in case it asks for this)

We need to fill the Open Hitter Committee Chair Slots!! – it is IMPORTANT that we fill these ASAP!!!

We appreciate those of you that have stepped up to chair a committee this season, but we still need more help! We have several slots open for Committee Chair people- please take a look at this link and consider stepping into a chair position!

Let us know if you have questions and we can tell you more about that position. Open positions are highlighted in white

If you can't chair a committee - don't worry! We will have a Sign Up Genius closer to the start of the season where you can volunteer to help throughout the season. It takes many hands and we will have lots of volunteer opportunities for everyone to be involved.
