MESSAGE FROM THE TOP

I encourage you to sign up so we can get an early idea of how many teams we will have for the season.  Go to the website to download the application.  Website is hardseniorsoftball.com   

Also would hope that all of you will beat the bushes to find additional players for the 70’s league.  We are aware that some have indicated they will not be playing this year so we need more bodies.

The first tryout for new players is tentatively scheduled for February 14 at the soccer fields at Oliver.  With all the weather lately the softball fields would not be ready.

The tentative date for the draft is February 28.

Some changes have been made in the management team for the league.  We will no longer have commissioners for each league.  The management team will include three new additions (Doug Johnson, Jeff Barnes and Jeff Hall) along with Lanny Witt, John Ironside and myself.  Don Keller will still handle the website.  Paul Vartanian will take over from Mike Carroll  as the finance person for the league.  John Ironside will still be the spokesman for the league.

The memorial for Dennis Solis will take place on January 29 at the Los Cerritos Community Center in Fremont.  Start time is 2 pm.

We received word last week that George Shers, long time player, passed away in November.  No services are planned.  RIP George.

Joe

UPDATE  UPDATE   

From the Solis Family:

Hello everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know that we decided on a date and a venue for dad's memorial. 

Please join us at Los Cerritos Community Center (3377 Alder Ave., Fremont CA 94536) on January 29th from 2 PM to 6 PM.

Please bring dish to share and one of your favorite Dennis memories. Dad loved nothing more than to share good food and drinks with the people he loved. We hope to see you there and look forward to celebrating the life of one of our favorite people.
