Greenbelt Youth Baseball Little
League are very grateful to many different people and we would like to
take a minute to thank them:
Thank
you to the families that trusted us to manage the memorial games.
Thank
you to the all of the parents and volunteers that came out. You made
this work and everyone went above and beyond. Especially all the kids
selling the drinks. Special thanks to those that helped plan the event -
especially Margie Sparks whose "historical knowledge" was invaluable.
Without her, we wouldn't have had tarps, trays for the beans,
instructions for the runners, and so on and so on.
Thank
you to the students from ERHS National Honor Society. Your hard work
and focus made the games possible. The games would have been very
difficult without you. There were times I were worried until I saw
several of you return for several shifts. You are all amazing.
Thank
you to the Police who made attending the Festival feel safe. When you
don't have to think about security, then security is doing things
right.
Thank
you to the Coop who came through by donating some much needed coin
wrappers and beans. Plus they were are main source of ice throughout the
Festival.
Thank
you to the people who came to the games. It was great seeing all of
the "professional" Bingo players, and all of the little kids learning
to play, and everyone in between.
Thank
you to the Festival, in particular Linda Ivy, for trusting us to
manage the games. You took a chance on us and it is a great
opportunity. And thank you for letting us use the sound system.
Thank
you to Public Works for taking care of us by installing the lights and
making sure we had what we need. You all worked hard to make us "look"
good.
Special
Thank You to St Hugh’s for allowing us to use their boards for our
games. It was a wonderful gesture and a very Greenbelt thing to do by
letting us reuse what we desperately needed.
I know I missed some people, and I'll post more as we remember them. If I missed you, know that I am thankful for you.
Thank you everyone,
Patrick Keaton
