A Night with the Knights

For those attending the Night with the Knights on Friday, June 5^th:

1. Karen will get there between 5:30-6pm to pick up tickets/tshirts

2. Everyone else should meet at 6:30pm near the will call with yellow shirts on. (We would like to go in as a group at 6:45pm so that we can get settled in our seats/drinks/food/bathroom before the game starts @ 7:15pm)

3. Our advice for those camping would be to park nearer to the 1st base/Play Zone entrance.

4. After the game, we’ll go out to our cars and get our camping gear.

5. All gear will be checked through security (be prepared for a wait in line – could be up to 1000 campers).

Leadership Positions Available

Several of our leaders from this past year will be moving up a rank along with their sons for the coming year. Some of our leaders have also regrettably had to withdraw from positions for the next year….so, if you have considered donating your time and participating more fully in the pack; please consider volunteering for either a leadership or committee position in the coming year.
