Contributed by Chris Kosinski
It is that time of the year again when football is over and the season is changing. Days are getting a bit longer, the weather is getting a bit warmer and there isn't any snow to speak of...hope I don't jinx us.
Baseball and Softball season is right around the corner and we want as many kids and parents to come on down and sign up for a fantastic fun filled season. We will attempt to teach the fundamentals of baseball/softball, We will have fun and We will show good sportsmanship.
Sign ups will be located at the Grand Rapids Library beginning Friday, February 24th from 6-8 pm, continuing Saturday, February 25th from 12-4 pm, and finally, Sunday, February 26th from 12-3 pm. Come on down! I look forward to meeting everyone and starting the season with as many kids, teams, and coaches as possible.
Shirts, hats and visors will be available for sizing, if needed.
Help is always welcome. Coaches and concession management are needed.

November 2015 - 8th Annual Doug McCabe Memorial Benefit Dance
On November 14th the 8th Annual Doug McCabe Memorial Benefit Dance featuring the Five O'clock Rush will be held at the Grand Rapids American Legion Post# 232. The doors open at 7pm and the band begins to play at 8pm. Tickets may be bought at the door or from any Sons of the American Legion member for only $10. Snacks and beverages will be available for purchase. The proceeds go to the Operation Comfort Warriors (OCW). The American Legion’s OCW was created to provide the “non-essentials” - those items that help wounded soldiers but don’t necessarily show up as a budgeted line on a government spreadsheet. The fact is, these services are very essential to the complete recovery of those that have served. The Legion contacts officials at military hospitals, transition units, and surrounding communities to obtain lists that determine what items are most needed by wounded, injured or ill service members. Once a need is identified, the items are ordered by the Legion and delivered in an expeditious manner. It is as simple as that. No red tape or delays. All of OCW’s administration costs are paid from Legion membership dues, which mean that 100% of donated funds go directly to benefit those soldiers needing help. Some patients need loose-fitting sweat suits to conceal their healing wounds. Others need auditory equipment to help drown out the tinnitus that has plagued their ears since their vehicles struck IEDS. Still others need therapy fitness equipment to help rebuild muscle strength. The success of the program relies completely on donations so besides having a good time at this dance you will be helping our wounded soldiers. So please come.
