A short, early edition of the the Floral Park Bulletin:
All games that were scheduled for yesterday, April 20, are scheduled to be played on Friday, April 24.
Opening Day, its parade, and ceremony was a huge success, with a turnout of more than 2,000 participants. This was by far, the largest gathering on Opening Day HBQVB has seen in years! Classic cars and a fire truck led the way for bag pipers and a drum corps followed by players, parents, league members, and supports alike for HBQVB’s 56th annual celebration.
If any parent is interested in getting involved with a softball game on Grand Slam Day, Saturday, June 20, at 6 p.m., please contact Margie Ruiz at 516-902-2970 or by e-mail at Triguenita549@optonline.net.
For any girls interested in being a part of HBQVB’s first ever 8U tournament team, please contact Jerry Witthauer at 718-347-5708 or witthauer.jerry@gmail.com. There will also be a notice placed on the bulletin board between the concession stand and the equipment stand.
Girls should be at least sever-years-old before January 1, 2009 and no older than nine-years-old by this year, and be registered in either the Minor Girls or the Pee-Wee divisions at HBQVB. The Babe Ruth tournament is July 11 and 12 in Staten Island, and other tournaments throughout May, but will be filled-in quickly, so parents need to sign their kids up as soon as possible.
As a reminder, this is a first ever tournament we are trying to create for the benefit of our young girls to get them motivated and experienced in ball playing at a young age. Do not miss out on this opportunity.
For work detail opportunities, the league needs more women to help out at the concession stand; a donation of flowers would be appreciated, and having trade workers is always helpful. For further information on work details, please call Frank Rizzo at 718-464-6088.
