There will be a day of “Just for Fun Softball” on
Sunday, April 20th at Strausser Park on Cape Coral
starting at 9:00 AM. We have reserved a pavilion at the
park with a view of the field, which has shade, rest
rooms and grills for lunch. The focus here will be on
fun. This is not a serious sporting event so leave your
cleats at home. This is a co-ed event and teams will be
picked at random (names placed in hat) and reshuffled
after the first game. We would like this event to
benefit a local charity so a voluntary donation will be
gratefully accepted but not required.
This Years proceeds will benefit the Harlem Heights
Foundation.
www.heightsfoundation.org A brief description of
which appears below:
MISSION
The Heights Foundation is a grass-roots, hands on
organization that provides educational and life-changing
opportunities for families in the Harlem Heights
community.
HARLEM HEIGHTS
Harlem Heights, Fla. is a small neighborhood located on
Gladiolus Drive, between McGregor Boulevard and
Summerlin Road in south Fort Myers, Florida. It was
settled in the 1940's as a rural farm-working community.
Approximately 400 single family homes, 375
multifamily apartments and 1,200 children.
55 percent Latin, 36 percent African-American and 9
percent Caucasian.
Cape Coral Parks and Recreation has waived the fees for
the use of the field, rest rooms and pavilion for this
reason. Whatever we raise will be donated in the club’s
name. We ask all those attending to bring something to
grill, your beverage of choice, and a covered dish to
share. (Water and soda will be provided) Bring whatever
equipment you have. Bats, gloves, sunscreen or any other
items you would like. There are bleachers near the
playing field and picnic benches under the pavilion. If
you would like something more comfortable, bring it with
you. All we are trying to do here is have a great day,
outdoors with our friends and fellow club members and
enjoy the laughter, food and company that the club
generates. Last years event was a success and this year
promises to be even better!
