Any Given Sunday

Dear Cats and Dogs,

I wanted you all to know that our cherished softball game has joined the 21st century teaming up with with Meetup.com in order to put field #5 to use and guarantee that on any given Sunday we have enough players to play a game for the remainder of the season.

Last weekend, July 6th Andy and I were host to a full round of hitting, and a nine inning 15-13 Dogs over Cats, game in which we had 22 players. The regulars were Jeremy, Timmy, Lukas, (Tim’s pal), Dale, Terry, Andrew, Troy, Marita, with Ben and Natasha injured on the sideline, and Johnny the beerman reopening his concession at Field 5. The rest of the squad were new and very nice, fun people: Michael, Mike, Lati, Angela, Chip, Rob M, Alex, Ted, Ray, Matt, and several others whom without the list I can not remember.

There were 9 players ready to throw at 5PM and two full teams by 5:30. The game started at 5:45 and ended at 7:55. Several new players left comments on the site and others have signed up for July 20th game and I just added July 13th: next weekend’s game.

Please visit the Meetup website to see what it is all about. Officially join the “softball group” and you’ll get the updates. http://softball.meetup.com/84/calendar/8300415/
and RSVP for the game this coming Sunday or the week after.

Please come by 5:15 so your name is on the list and you get in some throws and swings.

All for now…

message from Terry to missing Cats and Dogs

Hi Cats and Dogs

Terry posted this message which I did not get so we are assuming others are not getting the posts. We will try it again. Hope to see you all soon.

Andrew

 

From Terry:

Andy and I have counted the number of Cat and Dog regulars who have been “no shows” this first half of the season and the list is L O N G. We also have had 50% less sponsorship than past years. We both are wondering if Cats and Dogs Softball as we have known it needs tweaked, redefined or disbanded?

We would like your thoughts about the following.
*One thought is to create a coed league and field one Cat/Dog team and play other coed teams in the 5 PM – 8PM time slot and maybe cross pollinate that with joining an organized league one day a week.
*Another is to actively recruit new people through our social networks or an internet interest group option.
*And lastly, and the least attractive is to give up the permit for next season.

Andy and I encourage you to join us over the 4th of July weekend at the July 6th Annual Independent Cat and Dog Game. Please bring a friend. Come at 5PM, Hecksher #5.

Walk To Defeat ALS: Roberto

Cats and Dogs, Mad Dogs No Responses »
May 122008

 

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to drop you a short note to inform you that the Walk to Defeat ALS- the walk that Roberto did last year to raise money for ALS research- will be happening again. This year for the first time, a walk will be held in NYC (Hudson River Park’s Pier 46), Saturday May 17 @ 9:30am. I hope many of you will be able to walk with my sister Rachel and me to help raise money for a cure.
Please donate whatever you can. Every minute of research brings us a little closer to finding a cure, an answer, to this horrible and devastating disease. Roberto did clinical testing, did walks to raise funds, got his friends and friends of friends to donate their time and services to raise funds. And up to the very end he did what he could to help in the research in finding a cure to this horrible disease. He donated his body for research. He is no longer here. But I know he left behind many caring people.
Please make a donation, walk, and help bring awareness to this disease.

Thank you on behalf of my sisters Rachel and Daisy, and myself and may God bless all of you.

 

Thanks,

Ivette

PS
There will be food, refreshments, music, and face painting at the end of the walk. :)
