We've got some stuff happening this week and over the long-weekend:

1) Season Kick-Off is taking place Sunday, May 20 6:00 PM @ DMBC. It's the official kick off for the softball season at DMBC.  There'll be dinner, mixers, chance to mingle and chill, and some presentations.  Please RSVP by Wednesday to let us know if you can make it.

2) Uniforms Eric has heard from some of you.  If not, please email Eric with 3 numbers (in order of preference) for your jersey.  Ian's got a list of existing jersey numbers, so I'll compare the two and try my best to accommodate. If I've missed anyone who needs a new jersey for this year, please let me know by.  Please let us know by this Wednesday (while you rsvp for the Season Kick Off *nudge nudge*).  

3) Weekday practice weekly on Wednesdays 6:00 PM @ Bestview Park. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this week.  I've spoke with a few of you about not being able to be at practice and/or being late to it.  I know everyone's got numerous other things to attend to and I completely respect that. If you can't make it, or you have to be late for the practice, that's fine.  We'll start and you can just link up with us when you get there. Pls rsvp though the slowpitch website (check your emails, or let us know if you have not gotten any emails).

Side note, heads up for potentially (and hopefully) a change in our schedule re: the june 16 double header (right, girls?).  We're going to try to reschedule those games.

Soul will be having practice tomorrow evening 6:00 PM @ Steelesview Public School. Quite a number of people have said they're coming, so let's look forward to a great practice and a great season starting tomorrow! See all of you then!

Unfortunately due to the unpredictable showers, practice is rained out tonight. We will aim to have our first practice on Sunday, May 13 2:00pm @ Pinto Park.

Our fellow DMBC teammates on The Way are hosting their first practice today, Sunday, May 6 2:00 PM @ Pinto Park. They'll be running a lot activities and drills and welcome anyone from Soul or the DMBC family looking for some punishment are invited to join Mike Seto and company!

Thanks to everyone who got back to me about what day would be good to hold our weekday practices. This year, our weekday practices will be *drumroll...* Wednesday evenings!!! I know this might not work great for everyone but in this situation, democratic majority rules. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to seeing you all either at practices and/or games.

First practice: Wednesday, May 9, 6:00 PM @ Steelesview Public School

The church is going to host a small get-together to kick off the 2012 season. It's going to be on Sunday, May 20. More details to come. It'll be around dinner time. Come out and get some good food, a chance to meet everyone (ie. our team, members of The Way, and some of our great fans-and-friends) and a chance to see in more detail what this season will be like. It'd be great if you all could make it.

The weather's looking good so if any of you are free, let's go out and try to have our rust-shake-off-bat around on Sunday, April 29 at 3:00pm.  There's a DMBC membership meeting, so we won't be able to get started until 3 pm.  Let's meet at Hobart Park. We'll move if we have to but let's go from there.   Again, it's going to be really informal so if you can't make it, no worries.
