Dear Ms. Steele
We are planning to start our softball league Tuesday, January 6, 2009 and ending Tuesday,
March 24, 2009. We have 6 teams signed up to play, therefore we will need 3 fields at the
Civic Center. Games will start at 9am and in case of cancellation due to weather we plan on
having all make-up games on the following Friday.
Last year we had over 100 seniors playing softball and they are looking forward to playing
again this year.
We thank you and look forward to another successful league at Palm Desert Civic Center.
Sincerely,
WT1\j911/
Paul Jones
