News and Notes from SMP

March 4th, 2010 by SMP

  • Rosters for all SMP teams are now posted here (under “Downloadable Files”).
  • Clean out your garage and closet and donate your used baseball equipment (cleats, bats, gloves etc.) to a great cause! SMP families are encouraged to bring their gently used baseball equipment and/or apparel to the park this Saturday, March 6th from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m. We will be collecting items that day at the storage building near the front of the park (signage will point the direction) and delivering the donated items to the Greater Birmingham Athletic Association. For more information, contact Kristi Tolbert at 937-0333 or tolberts4@charter.net.
  • Please mark your calendar for Pancakes at the Park, Shades Mountain’s big fundraising event for this year. On Saturday, March 20th from 8-10:30 a.m., come and get some homemade pancakes at Baumhower’s Wings at Patton Creek. $5 tickets will soon be on sale through each team’s Team Mom and all SMP players. For more information about this event contact John Parker at 568-8103 or parkerjjj@bellsouth.net.
  • Guests no doubt will notice several enhancements and improvements at SMP. A wireless network was recently installed and is up and running and will be a treat for members. The ID is “smp” and the password is “playball”. We hope this is popular and helpful to our families and visitors. Other improvements include newly-painted curbs, improvements to the lighting, shade structures, landscaping improvements, signage improvements and, of course, the best fields in metro Birmingham.
  • As always, we encourage our families to visit the SMP website at www.shadesmountainpark.org as all events are posted on the calendar, including several upcoming for Coaches and Team Moms.
