We Need Help! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our youth sports programs are in dire need of officials. Anyone who is 14 years or older and has a general knowledge of the rules for baseball, softball and/or soccer can officiate. Folks who are interested must attend a county sponsored training clinic prior to the season. Their names are placed on a county list and local coordinators will assign them to games. Officials are paid between $13-$25 per game by the County Youth Bureau. Help us to keep our children’s sports experience a fun, positive & memorable one. We encourage teens, adults and retirees to join us in providing a top-notch program for the youth of our town. If interested please call Melanie or Janet at 562-6860 or the County Youth Bureau, 565-4750. |

Rabideau & Merri Jeanne Brennan) who are on a mission to show
youth how much fun reading can be—outside the school.
