Blues 14U Volunteer to HELP
The Bayside Blues 14U team believes in returning something back to our community. In January and February, the ladies are spending weekends and holidays at the HELP Association in Owings, Maryland, sorting donated items, cleaning up, shelving goods, etc., etc.
The Blues organization believes that there is more to our organization than just great softball -- we also believe that as members of our communities we are obligated to volunteer our efforts. The HELP Association in turn provides financial support to groups in its own community. Sounds like a win/win! Good job, Blues.
Blues Cheer On Pinbusters Special Olympics Bowling
On Saturday, December 6, 2008, the Blues 14U team members volunteered their time to cheer for the Special Olympics Pinbusters bowling league at Calvert Bowl.
The Blues program is not just about softball. We emphasize academics, community, and character building, as well as the proper way to field a grounder. It's not easy going outside our comfort zone, but the athletes really enjoyed having the team all there! Just your presence made a significant difference.
Many of the athletes, parents and the director thanked us profusely for coming. It's important to realize that we are not all created the same and that even the slightest act of kindness (just showing up, offering a smile, sharing a laugh, or giving a high five) can make a significant difference in one's life ... your parents and your coaches are proud of each of you for giving back.
The bowlers loved the posters and plan to laminate them and use them in the future! So...your artwork lives on.
We are Looking for Sponsors for the 2009 Season!
