Dear Mr. Winklepeck:
We are planning to start our softball league Tuesday, January 6, 2004 and ending
Tuesday, April 6, 2004. We have 8 teams signed up to play therefore, we will need
all four fields at the Civic Center. Games will start at 9am and in case of
cancellation due to the weather we plan on having all make-up games on the
following Friday.
The Palm Desert Softball League is asking The City of Palm Desert to waive all
fees for the field preparation again this year.
We thank you and look forward to another successful league at Palm Desert Civic
Center.
Thank You
