Weekly Update

HOMETOWN HERO


As many of you are aware, Karen Mick has been named an Allen and Allen’s Hometown Hero.  She will be recognized for all of her contributions to the community during a Flying Squirrels baseball game on Tuesday August 8th. We are getting a group of Grace Church members together to go to the game and give a resounding cheer for her when she is recognized. Those wishing to go please contact Sam Wright at 804-380-0582 or by email Wrights71@earthlink.net by Thursday morning, August 3rd.  


Sam will be ordering the tickets on Thursday afternoon so that we will all be able to sit together.  The seating will be on the field level, hopefully behind home plate.  The cost will be $14 per ticket and simply reimburse Sam for them.  The tickets will be held at the Will Call tent in front of the Stadium. We hope to get a good crowd together to cheer on our Hometown Hero as well as the home team.  Game time is 6:15 pm.
