Some details on our annual mid-season picnic, which will be Thursday night, July 10th. A reminder–this traditional event is for all players (and spouses) from EVERY league at no additional cost. This includes Tuesday, Wednesday, AND Thursday players.
Thursday leagues (Legends and LOTO) will be playing their regular games, so watch for foul balls. Also, we ask for your cooperation in making sure they get food. Players involved in early games will be given priority to eat, starting by 5:45pm. Serving for other members will start around 6:15pm–but feel free to come earlier and reserve a shady spot.
The menu will include tri-tip and hot dogs, and sides of salad and beans. Water and dessert will be provided; feel free to bring your beverages of choice.
As part of our Association’s charter, we make significant donations to worthy community organizations every year. This year’s recipient will be the Modesto Empire Little League. In addition to cash, we are taking up a collection of youth baseball equipment to pass along. Bins will be available at the picnic to collect anything your family doesn’t need anymore.
A sizeable portion of the donation comes from the raffles we hold during the picnic. In order to purchase the prizes for the raffles, team captains in each league will be asking for modest donations from all players. (Donations of prizes themselves are welcome, also.)
In an effort to cut costs, SSSA Board members and volunteers will be cooking and serving this year.
