Monday, September 28 Thank You for Volunteering AGALL would like to thank the following people for volunteering their time and/or eqiupment: Steve Smith, of Town & Country Landscape, for donating his time and the necessary equipment to aerate Field B at the complex. Dave Parola and Steve Smith for assembling the bleachers at the complex. These bleachers got much use during the tournaments that AGALL sponsored. Saturday, July 25 Salon Jalore Fundraiser Salon Jalore has just opened in The Shoppes at London Britain. They would like to welcome the community to participate in a fundraiser for AGALL. Every family that purchases hair services will be added to a list and a 10% donation will be made in their name to AGALL. Please refer to the attached flyer for the details. Handout: Salon Jalore Fundraiser Monday, July 20 Blue Rocks Fundraiser Thank you to those that volunteered at the AGALL fundraiser working the Blue Rocks Concession Stand and a special thanks goes to Susan Tompkins for organizing the event. Despite the hard work and many, many long lines, all had a good time and it was because of the people we were working with. Hopefully, all enjoyed the event. We left that concession stand sparkling clean, with everything restocked and Mike (the rep from Frawley Stadium) saying "WOW". We ended up with exactly 20 people, which was our minimum, and Mike did make the comment that he didn't even have to yell at anyone!!!! We left Mike with a positive impression of AGALL, which is exactly what we wanted to do. Thanks to the following volunteers:
Thanks again to all who volunteered. Monday, July 20 Spring 2009 – Rosehill Field Improvements Summary In 2009, Avon Grove Area Little League celebrated our 51st year as a chartered Little League. The Rosehill Field is the backbone of our organization, representing the 'Field of Dreams' for numerous Majors Division Players throughout the decades. This year, the league opted to make significant improvements to Rosehill due in part to necessity, adequate reserve funding, but most importantly, the volunteer effort of those who stepped forward to donate their time for the good of the league. The following improvements were completed at Rosehill: 1. Construction of a dugout with donation of labor by the Technical School to complete the roof. 2. Rolling/removal of lips on the field with a paving roller. 3. Installation of net for batting cage in the outfield (all labor donated by members of the league). 4. Installation of gate in outfield using existing gate and labor from the league. 5. Unexpected installation of new water main due to degradation of galvanized feed line from box on street (required). 6. Removal of old scoreboard in outfield. 7. Installation of sink in concession stand to meet health code. 8. Purchase of new refrigerator for concession stand due to loss of food several times last year. 9. Removal of tree limbs/debris outside of fence by those involved with net installation. 10. For the first time in over 15 years, we have an operational restroom, including new tile floor, new ceiling install, light, paint and step, new toilet and mirror. 11. Water remediation to left field required continuation of earthen bank. 12. Due to mud issues from the water main install, a formal stoned parking lot began to take shape, formed by a stone base primarily donated by London Grove Township, with additional purchased stone and many hours of donated equipment and operator time by John Chambers, for whom we extend our gratitude.Thanks to the following individuals who made these improvements happen: Brian Abelt, Tim Bonner, Jim Brown, Ray Bunjo, Joe Cimabue, Pat English, Rick Lechette, Shannon McNamara, Ed Taylor, Todd Trexler, Greg Tompkins, Greg Tompkins Jr., Jim Trouba and Steve Walton. With 51 years under our belt, many of the efforts as listed above will be here for generations to come. We are eternally grateful for all of your efforts and sincerest apologies if you were omitted from this list. We would be happy to update to recognize your efforts. Monday, May 18 Carnival Update Thanks to the continued support of Pyle's Hardware and Chelsea Station in Avondale, AGALL's 6th Annual Carnival was a rousing success! Proceeds from this event were the highest to date, and this year we shared the proceeds with the West Grove Day Care, another area non-profit organization. Representatives from the day care and Pyle's took on the daunting task of directing parking for all the patrons of the carnival, while volunteers from AGALL manned the ticket booths. Despite one night totally lost and another significantly impacted due to poor weather, we rallied with three very busy nights to put us over the top. Judging by the looks on the faces of the children and their families, fun was had by all, and many patrons were repeat customers every night of the carnival! Many thanks to those who supported this event, and can't wait 'til next year!
AGALL Sponsorship Update As we are all aware, 2009 has been a challenging year. AGALL lost several sponsors this season due to the recession, yet several other local businesses helped to close the gap as new sponsors to our league. All total, we received over $14,000 in contributions which made 2009 one of our more successful years! This year, sponsorship contributions helped our league offer Scholarships and Multi-Family discounts to ease the burden on families. Money was also spent on a trailer to move field maintenance equipment safely from field to field, and to help fund the new paid Umpire program initiated this year. Our lead sponsor again this year was the Community Awareness Committee of the American Mushroom Institute. Pictured above is the CAC representative, Don Needham, with past president, Ray Bunjo, at the 2009 Majors Opening Day ceremony. The American Mushroom Institute is a national voluntary trade association representing the growers, processors and marketers of cultivated mushrooms in the United States and industry suppliers worldwide. The Community Awareness Committee is an outreach program and AGALL extends our thanks again this year for their continued support. Please take the time to review the 'Sponsors' page and consider doing business with them as needs arise. |
