Thanks so much to all of those who came out to help with our big work party on Sunday, January 30! We had a great turnout and made huge progress in shaping up our complex for the new season. We did a great deal of work on both our South and Padres fields, and they are now getting close to Opening Day form. In addition, as you'll cerainly notice the next time you come to our fields, our sad looking scorebooth building on the Padres field is no longer an eyesore. We are converting it into a storage unit, and it will be nicely painted and a major improvement to our complex. The following are just some of the people who lent a hand to these projects (wth sincere apologies to anyone omitted): Kathy, Ryan and Trent Kuczon, Tito and Hiram Castillo, Logan McCarthy and his father, Warren and Lane Woolery, Joel and Jodi Crow, Rick Fife, Dave Granfors, Forrest Davis, Ross Majam, Bob Faudoa, Cheryl Del Colliano, Mike Michie, Mike Van Cleave, Bill Salonius, Mike Ruthenberg and Dave Pursel. Thank you all, and you can take extra pride this season in the appearance of our park. We will have at least one more work party prior to Opening Day. If you missed this one, be sure to come out the next time. It's a great combination of a little fresh air, some exercise, a great group of people and a chance to make Clairemont Hilltoppers a jewel in the community.
