Weather is forecast to be sunny and in the 70s.  Come down, enjoy the sun, see two great games and have a beer and a bite.

A CP Softball Event

Spike  508-209-3546 

​​​

As previously announced, the Executive Board has approved “Appreciation Days” for the many groups of people who volunteer their services on behalf of the CP 50+ Softball League.  These tokens of appreciation will be a free hot dog and a drink from the Tiki Hut.  The funds to finance this will be from Tiki Hut tip money. This does not affect the drink cards distributed at the end of the season.

 

Here's the latest Volunteer Appreciation Days:

​

February 4 - Diamond 2 field crews

February 9 - umpires

 

More coming soon!
