Volunteers are special. We love all of you. Sometimes a few need a little more recognition. Some of you have seen these names many times and they deserve so much more than just a Facebook post. We are working on that. Beau Watkins of Watkins and Associates, Inc. Has been donating his skills, machines and time working on the new warning track. Helping get our fields ready and will be doing a lot more. Never asking for any money or even gas! If anyone is ever free please ask if he needs a hand raking or shoveling. Next we have Jacob Wilkins. Jake has been helping renovate the major softball field removing the grass, laser grading so we have proper drainage and reinstalling stone. We are 2/3 done with that field. again, never asking for anything and doing this on his free time. Matt Bijak Has been working after work and late into the night welding, fabricating and completed 4 steel light brackets for our major boys field. Donating his skill, time, material and tools. Matt did a great job! Our councilman David Atkinson who is still allowing us to use his heavy equipment. This is speeding up jobs and making them so much easier. A man who truly believes in his community. Last but not least Troy Crane, our board member and electrician. Troy has been working hard in the concession stand moving electrical conduit, adding need circuits and outlets. Also getting a scoreboard working and preparing for the installation of our new scoreboard.
All these men work full time jobs. Long hours and STILL find time to help there community. These days it is a rarity to find such dedication towards our community. Please, when you see them around, stop and shake their hand. Tell them thank you! The amount of money they save our league is astronomical. Our community and league works hard for every dollar raised and we also work hard to spend it extremely wisely.
As always there is a lot more to do. If anyone has any kind of free time during the week mornings afternoons evenings please let us know. There are simple jobs, hard jobs and if you have any kind of skills you would like to offer please let us know. Our community is growing and our facility is amazing. It is only amazing because of the support of Lincoln Township trustee and her board and volunteers like all of you.
