The first of two youth
baseball/softball fields has been completed at the Martin Complex.
The Minnesota Twins Community
Fund, in partnerships with Toro Corporation and Land O’ Lakes, provided a
$5,000 grant which required 100% matching funds from the community. The
Alburnett Sports Booster Club stepped up to the plate and delivered a home
run with a $7,000 donation.
The Foundation would also like
to thank the following people who donated time and/or services to the
project: Chris Shadden and family – soil prep, Marty Boyse – outfield
seeding, Bob Berry & Kenny Fuessley – infield lime, Dan Sherman – cement
work, and Bob Berry, Daivd Boesenberg, Gregg Smith & Larry Martin – dugout
construction.
A dedication ceremony for the
new field will be held in the Spring of 2008.
If you or your organization
has an interest in donating funds, time, materials and/or services to
construct the second youth baseball/softball field, please contact Bob
Berry, Foundation Vice President at 319.981.6171.
On September
15, 2007, Ginger and Kollin Burns accepted a recognition plaque from the
Minnesota Twins, as representatives of the Alburnett Community School
District Foundation, at a pregame ceremony.
