Dear iWinklepeck:
We a writing on behalf of the Palm Desert Senior Softball League.
We plan to start our league January 7, 2003 through March 27, 2003. We are having
sign-ups at the present time. We plan on having 10-12 teams playing at 9:00 a.m. on
Tuesdays and maybe Thursdays. We will need the four fields at the Civic Center
complex on Tuesday and maybe one or two fields on Thursdays. We will coordinate all
the necessary plans through Travis Strombaugh, Sports Coordinator, with the Coachella
Valley Recreation and Parks Department.
The Palm Desert Senior Softball League is asking the City of Palm Desert to waive the
fees for the field preparation for us again.
We thank you and look forward to another successful league at Palm Desert Civic Center.
Sincerely, �1
Robert Dakin, Commissioner George Anas, Assistant Commissioner
