Softball Season Begins with a BANG!!

Our softball teams faired very well for the first half of the season. They faired so well that both teams were moved up to a higher

division! Not sure that’s good news to the teams; it just means the competition is stiffer!

Good luck to our teams: the Rockies managed by Preston Shepherd and the Rocker’s managed by Wes Johnson. I understand there are still a couple make up games pending, however, one team had 7 wins and 5 losses and the other team had 14 wins with 0 losses!

Home games are played at the Metzler Ranch fields in Castle Rock on Wednesday mornings around 9 A.M.

WHAT’S NEW THIS MONTH

PLEASE READ BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN

ANY SENIOR CENTER EVENT!

On site food activities require planning and preparation well in advance of the event. As such, we ask for everyone to sign up at least 48 hours in advance.

For all trips & excursions in which you utilize the Senior Center Transportation, there are two items that you must possess in order to participate. We will be randomly checking for these two items, so always have them with you. The two items are 1) File of Life and 2) either a valid drivers license or a valid state issued picture ID. We appreciate your cooperation.

If you are attending an off-site event, please arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time so we can load the shuttles. PLEASE DO NOT park in the handicapped spaces if you are to be gone all day to an off-site event. Other members need access to the spaces during the day. Your consideration is appreciated.

The transportation amounts shown are “suggested donations”. We depend on your help to support our transportation service.
