THANK YOU!!!

Hearts for Youth would like to send a special thanks out to this the multitudes of people who have helped to get this year's Softball and Baseball programs up and running. The support from our community is a vital component to the success of our Baseball and Softball programs, without the countless hours of help form our volunteers, their leadership, and their compassion, the programs would not be as successful.

Thank you to the following Baseball Coaches:
Pee Wee A - Head Coach Roger Jobson and Assistant Coach Johnston
Pee Wee B - Head Coach Eric Mattice
Grasshopper A- Head Coach Bill Mitchell
Grasshopper B - Head Coach Rebecca McDermott

Thank you to the following Softball Coaches:
Pee Wee- Head Coach Kimberly Weller and Assistant Coach Christy Freetag
Grasshopper A -Head Coach Heather Perry and Assistant Coach Kim Bradley
Grasshopper A -Head Coach Chris Hyde and Assistant Coach Rusty Tuttle
Special thanks to the Town Board, the Town Supervisor and Traci at the Arena for allowing us to practice at the arena.

Thank to Dale Hunneyman and David Bain for working on the Redwood fields for this year's season.
Thank you to Addie Russell for the grant for the ball-field's fencing, the equipment grant that bought the pitching machine, and for continually working to help us keep the Keewaydin Pool.

Once again, without the help of the aforementioned, the Hearts for Youth Programs would not prosper. Thank you so very much for your continued help and support!
