It has come to my attention that many members were not able to open the current Registration List I sent out a few days ago.

If anyone is still having an issue please send me an email letting me know.

And if you didn’t already know this, I love Yogi Berra, so here is a bit of Trivia about Yogi,
- “Yogi has more World Series Rings than any other player in MLB History”
- “Yogi has played in more world series games than any other player”
- " Yogi homered in his First Major League at Bat"
- “Yogi served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was on a Gunboat during the Normandy Landings, June 6th, 1944”

Hello League,
Not everyone may know this, but Longtime League Member Dave Kennedy has been dealing with a Health Issue recently and is now in Recovery Mode at the Foothills Hospital. I’ve been told that Dave is doing great and probably anxious to be Home.
Dave played last year in AA on the The Rangers and has been with this League since 2006.
Dave, on Behalf of the Entire League, Best Wishes on your Road to Recovery.
Hope your back home in the very near future and We All Hope to See You Soon !!

All The Best,
The Entire CSMS 55+ League Family

Hi Everyone,

This is a Follow up to the earlier message about The Alberta55 plus Provincial Summer Games that are being held in Peace River this summer, June 16-19 and which is certain to be an excellent time for thousands of 55+ members.

I have been contacted by 2 members, Garth Border and Peter Taylor from Zone 3 that are looking for players for their 75+ team that they have entered for that event. So far they have only managed to gather up a small handful of guys. So if you’re on the fence about participating this year in the Peace River, Alberta 55+ Games, here is your chance. This team needs players !!
Let’s try and help them out by getting signed up with them Today.
Contact Garth or Peter at
Garth Border 403-253-8122 or Peter Taylor at 403-273-1472

And I hope Zone 3 has more teams heading up to the Alberta 55+ games this year. We can’t let all those other Zones have all the Fun.

Regards Everyone,

Paul M
