"Leftfield Leo"

One hundred years from now
It will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much money I had in my bank account,
Nor what my clothes looked like.

But one hundred years from now
The world may be a little bit better
Because I was important
In the life of a child.

** LATEST SCHEDULING CHANGES -- HEADS UP!! THESE MAY NOT CURRENTLY BE ON OUR LATEST Revision (4/20/08) SCHEDULE

** UPDATED 5/7/08 8:00 pm**

BE SURE TO NOTE ANY CHANGES !!

"**" DENOTES CHANGES -- PLEASE HIGHLIGHT THESE & MAKE NOTE ON YOUR CALENDARS !!

NOTE THAT THE DATES MARKED WITH THE "$$" MEANS TO PLEASE RESERVE THOSE DATES !!

*** NOTE *** practices are tentative as scheduled and based on field availability -- we'll probably not have all the practices on this schedule once games start due to weather, etc. However, the practice dates listed below should be kept open as much as possible for make-up games, etc., as they'll be the only dates available (to avoid conflicts with the MLSB & SLSB teams' schedules).

$$ Thursday 5/8 $$ -- PRACTICE (or make-up game) at Cooperstown Girl's Field (6:00p-8:00p). EVERYONE NEEDS TO PICK UP PIZZAS WHETHER WE PRACTICE OR NOT !!

Here's what's up for Thursday -- Roberta will call you as soon as we make a decision about whether or not to practice on Thursday. If we do practice (which we really need to do, weather permitting), we'll give you your pizza kits at practice to take home with you. If we decide not to practice, if you sold pizza kits and haven't already picked them up or haven't made arrangements to have someone pick them up for you, you'll still need to come get them at Jim's Super Market between 6p and 7p on Thursday night -- I'll be there at that time to help you. PLEASE make it a point to get yours between 6p and 7pm as I have nowhere to store them for you (they need to be refrigerated), and I prefer to do other things with my time if we're not practicing (like work on our website!)

$$ Friday 5/9 $$ -- GAME RESCHEDULED !! -- **NO PRACTICE**

$$ Saturday 5/10 $$ -- GAME (against Titusville Zehner Medical) at Cooperstown, please be at Coop. field by 3:00pm (game will be at 4pm at Cooperstown). Picture Day for our team is at 2pm at LL Boys Field where school used to be.

$$ Monday 5/12 $$ - Likely make-up date for HOME game against Townville -- please reserve this date! We'll let you know ASAP!

Tuesday 5/13 - BYE -- PRACTICE at Cooperstown Girl's Field (6p-8p)

$$ Friday 5/16 $$ -- GAME (against Cochranton-2) at Cochranton Field #1 -- be at away field *BY 5:15p*

Saturday 5/17 - NO PRACTICE OR MAKE-UP GAME - JEFF GOES ON A BUSTRIP WITH HIS DAD
