Hi Everyone,

Its that time of the year when we need our worker bees to volunteer at Triwood Community Center to help dismantle the Outdoor Hockey Arena, which is currently set up on the Triwood 1 Ball Diamond.

This event is scheduled for Saturday April 15th at 9AM at Triwood.

Last year we had about 10 guys show up from our League to volunteer and with the community volunteers that showed up, we had this work wrapped up in about 2-1/2 hours.

So if you are available, please come out and give a hand.

You will need a pair of gloves, maybe a few tools if you have them, wire cutters, a cordless drill, a small plastic container to keep track of the screws and misc hardware, maybe a garbage bag.
Remember, this also helps out our league by getting the Triwood Diamond prepped sooner to start our new upcoming season.

Please let me know if you can give a hand.

Thanks Everyone,

Paul M

Hello Everyone,

Our registrar, John Schmidt has been working hard on this list of Pin Recipients and he has just sent me the list to get posted here for everyone to see.
We are going to be handing out our League’s Years of Service Pins at the General Meeting this coming Wednesday April 12th.
We will be presenting the 30 Year and 25 Year service Pins just before the general meeting gets underway at 6:30pm. The remaining Years of Service Pins, 20 yrs, 15yrs and 10yrs can be picked up from John schmidt or myself before the meeting gets started. We will be set up at the back of the room.

Please take a look at the List provided to locate your name and the pin you will be receiving.

If you are unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting, we will reach out to you at a later time to make arrangements to get you your Pin.

Pins have not been handed out since 2018, that is why there are so many this year.
Apologies to everyone for the delay in getting you your pins.

There are 3 columns of names on this list. Please look carefully for your name.
See the List at the Bottom of this page.
Cheers Everyone,
Paul
