Asbury Park Little League needs a few more $

This was posted on the Asbury Park Yahoo Group. A local group has done an amazing job of bringing the Asbury Park Little League back to life. The group has raised some money for most of the work to be done and are still a bit short. Read the following and see if you can help in way or another.

Thank you.

We're almost there!!

Dear Fellow Citizens:

Many of you have followed the Little League field redevelopment efforts with
interest. Some of you have taken an active roll in supporting this effort.
Everyone wants to see this effort succeed. You do this because you believe in
supporting our efforts to provide a safe & fun environment for the kids of
Asbury Park to learn and play baseball.

We have good news concerning our renovation project! We are pleased to
announce that the Asbury Park Little League will be receiving a grant from
Interfaith Neighbors for the purchase and installation of the field lighting.
The field lighting is part of the Interfaith Neighbors Asbury Park West Side
Redevelopment Plan that encompasses not only the expansion of recreational
programs and facilities, but also includes the construction of affordable
housing on the West Side of Asbury Park. We are grateful for the partnership
with Interfaith Neighbors and know that the field lighting will be great for the
kids.

That being said, we are still approximately $23,000 short of the $225,000
required to complete the project. As you may know, we have already finished
the complete overhaul of the infield, installed new field fencing and safety
netting, bought two new bleachers, and installed a brand new score board, flag
pole and bullpen & batting cage area. The last phase of the project is the
purchase and installation of the field lighting and the construction of a field
house that will have a large storage area, the 3rd base dug-out, as well as an
announce's booth/meeting room. In addition to the field house, a dug-out will
be built on the 1st base line. I know that you will take pride in this ball
field when these structures are completed. We will have a first class baseball
facility.

I am making an urgent appeal to you to support this field renovation project.
Please make a donation today to this important project. All of the necessary
government approvals have been received so that we can start construction; all
we need is your valued support so that we can finish the ball park. Please make
a donation today either by visiting us online at

Sincerely yours,
