No More Sidelines Winter Update   

We have purchased and received our new scoreboard with the generous help of the Elks. Thank you.

We will be using it shortly as basketball will begin January 8th. This year we will be doing something different for competition in all our sports. We are currently talking with local high schools to establish new relationships so that our kids can compete and integrate with area high school kids. We are very excited about the response thus far.

Bowling is winding down. Our end of season party will be December 19th at Sherman Bowling Lanes.

December 10th will be our next community outing. We are taking the kids to Northcrest Assisted Living Center for some Christmas caroling and dinner with Santa. Also joining us at Northcrest will be any residents from Hillcrest Nursing home who are able to attend.

Upcoming events include a day in Grand Rapids at the VanAndel arena on January 27th. The Harlem Globetrotters will be in town. We have 100 seats reserved. Please contact us if you would like to join us for this afternoon of basketball and fun.
