CONFUSION OVER PLANT-A-SEED PROGRAM

It seems like there was a bit of confusion regarding last week’s post asking people to vote for the Petrie Fields as part of Frosted Flakes’ Plant-A-Seed Program. As mentioned previously, recipients of this award are determined largely by the number of supporters a field has. During the month of April, fields are being reviewed and judges are determining who the 100 semi-finalists will be. In determining who the 100 semi-finalists will be, judges base 10% of a field’s score on “demand for the field.” Thus, it is still important that the community shows their support for the field. To do so, please visit http://www.frostedflakes.com/, search for nominated fields in Redwood, NY 13679, select Petrie Fields, and then click on the SUPPORT THIS FIELD icon.
On May 1st, the 100 Semi-Finalists for the program will be announced. If at this time, Petrie Fields is a Semi-Finalist, then we will be asking the community to officially vote for the field. At that time, “the voting public will be allowed one vote for their favorite finalist nomination per day, per person/email address during the voting period.”

HELP FIX PETRIE FIELDS!!

Now that Spring is in the air, the Baseball/Softball season has become a very large topic of attention for Hearts for Youth and the local community. The HFY Baseball/Softball program serves over 200 area youth each summer. Yet, the Baseball/Softball fields in the Alexandria Bay Community are in despair. With that said, HFY is asking that you visit www.frostedflakes.com and vote to have the Petrie Fields repaired. The Petrie Fields have been nominated for the Frosted Flakes Plant-A-Seed program. Through this program, select communities are awarded funding to repair their fields, giving area youth the a place to grow and play. Recipients of this award are determined partly on the number of supporters the field has. Thus, in order for the Petrie Fields to win, it is imperative that everyone go to the Frosted Flakes website and vote on the fields. To do so, simply visit www.frostedflakes.com, search for nominated fields in Redwood, NY 13679, select Petrie Fields, and then click on the SUPPORT THIS FIELD icon.

FAMILY FUN DAY

The following are some pictures from the HFY Family Fun Day. The event took place at the Redwood Fire Hall on Saturday March 7, 2009. As always a good time was had by all in attendance.

Above, Ryan Thomas is teaching some local citizens how to play the Nintendo "Wii" game.

Above, Connor Cummings is being a real "funny bunny" as he has a bunny painted on to his face. As promised, Penny has used this picture to Blackmail you Connor. =)

Above, Mike Ward and Gayle Hunneyman are speaking with one of the vendors at the event and learning of ideas to incorporate into the HFY Youth Board.
