inspections will be completed, ready for play. Irondale's Girl's Fast Pitch team will be the first to use our fields for scheduled play - at Silver View Park. Adult league play begins Monday, April 18. MVAA has scheduled City Hall for practices for try-outs. Watch out! Baseball/softball players - here they come! We are having limited success on graffiti removal. The stuff that we have lightens the graffiti but also discolors the panels and provides roughness. In additional, two panels at Greenfield Park took approximately a whole afternoon of Steve and Jeff's time. LABOR INTENSE!! RECREATION: There has-been-an-increase-of-4-adult softball teamsthisyear over last years -- - statistics. The mixed couples softball league has grown this year. Adult softball profits subsidize a number of youth and general programs and recreation capital items. For instance, the profits from last year's adult softball profits are paying for the netting at Greenfield Park baseball field. In additional, adult softball pays for labor and materials used for athletic groundskeeping. The great thing about adult softball is that 74 teams can play every week with only using three fields - of course we schedule adult games solidly with hour limit games - back to back - having the control to serve a huge number of teams and players using limited field space. Sharie will be attending a conference this Friday and Saturday on City Festivals and Events sponsored by the Minnesota Festival and Events Association being held in Brooklyn Park. This looks to be a great conference with lots of ideas and information being exchanged. The Garden Club met Tuesday to plan the plantings in front of City Hall. They are a great group of energetic gardeners. It'll be fun to see what they do this year in front of City Hall. In addition to flowers, they will be planting the bushes along the front City Hall building. SCHOOL VACATION BOREDOM BUSTERS has been a great success. Every day this week trips are scheduled for the children of the community who are on Spring Break. Mary and Brad have been chaperoning the trips along with other recreation staff available. We are in the process of reviewing the application for summer playground leaders. Interviews will begin next week. There were many good applications received for two open positions. Ten leaders are returning from last year. CABLE TV Congratulations to Jerry Skelly who has a new little baby boy named Zachary, born last Thursday, March 31.
