(2) GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY

March 10, 2006
(1) OPENING DAY POSTPONED
The Toluca Baseball board of directors voted to POSTPONE the Opening Day Ceremonies from 3/12 to 3/19 in hopes of avoiding the heavy expected rain this weekend. This was not an easy decision to make, but we felt it was best to announce it now so each Toluca family can make other plans and have an enjoyable weekend.
The vendors associated with this event (BBQ, Custom T-shirts, etc.) also asked us to make a decision sooner rather than later. The good news is all the vendors and surprise guest speakers are available on 3/19. So let's all make a collective wish that it does not rain on 3/19. By the way, if it turns out to be beautiful and sunny come this Sunday, please don't get mad at the board. Instead, take it up with Mother Nature or weather.com.
(2) CHECK RAIN HOTLINE
We are NOT canceling the Saturday games at this point. Therefore, it is critical for you to check the Toluca rain hot line (number is on web site) no later then 7:30am Saturday (3/11) morning to see if the games will be played. If the games are canceled -- that means the fields are closed to practices too. Part of the reason we cancel games is for the safety of the kids -- and part of the reason is protect the fields that Steve Aiello, Paul Loock and Frank Miceli work so hard on each and every week. Did you know the league saves about $3,000 per month in maintenance costs because these Dads groom our fields? Please take the time to thank these guys when you have the chance. If your game is scheduled for EAST VALLEY, then you must check their RAIN hot line at 818.982.BALL.

Toluca Titans TEXAS HOLD 'EM Fund raiser is scheduled for Saturday, April 8th.
