LAST WEEK - May 20th, 2021 ... by Mary Membership/Attendance: 53 Active members, 9 attending Guests: Don Lewis, Manager of Auburn Doubledays The Beginnings- After the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and reading of an inspiration President Dave welcomed Don Lewis, CEO of the Auburn DoubleDays baseball team. Dave also thanked Robin, Bill B and Ed E for organizing our in person meeting last week. The Program - Jay introduced Don Lewis as our speaker. Don's career has been in the sports field, first hockey and for the last nine years, baseball. The DoubleDays are now members of the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League which includes 16 teams across New York State. The season opens on June 5th with the first home game at Falcon Park. Games will continue through July with playoffs in August. Don said that Auburn has "great fans" and praised Falcon Park saying that it "hit it out of the ballpark". Don also said that the team will have a very active presence in the community and invited our club for an evening of fun at a home game. As things return to "normal", what a better way to spend a summer evening than at a DoubleDays baseball game? Wanted - If you have a favorite inspirational saying please send it to President Dave to be read at a meeting. The Ending: Gard led us in the Four way Test. |
