 Friends of the Newton Central Little League community -
The Board of Directors of Newton Central Little League (NCLL) asks for your support in our continuing commitment to upgrade our NCLL baseball programs. For example, we are 18 months into a 5-year plan to invest considerable resources and effort in upgrading our baseball fields at Cabot, Peirce and Ward.
We are now embarking on the most ambitious phase of our program - to install a new infield and outfield at Cabot field in time for the fall baseball season (weather permitting). Our next phase will be to replace the Peirce infield, remove a few more boulders from the outfield (we removed several a year ago - a few were too large then) - and discuss outfield plans with Newton soccer. Then we will turn our attention back to Ward.
We have researched and considered the alternatives - replacing Cabot is the best way to provide our children with a playing field equivalent to other majors fields in other Newton little leagues. The outfield and infield areas have broken down and may become unsafe for fielders and base runners and the mound needs to be rebuilt. Too often, baseballs take odd bounces and players take odd tumbles in the infield and outfield.
The Cabot upgrade will cost approximately $50,000. We ask your help - donations of course are greatly appreciated and the most direct way to help - whether $10 or $100 or $1,000 or $10,000.
And most importantly, the NCLL board is completely volunteer - we have no paid staff - and we invite you to offer your help - can you contact friends and businesses for donations and sponsorships ? Can you host a fundraiser at your house ? Can you arrange any special guests to invite to a fundraiser ?
Thanks for your consideration and support!
