Brighton baseball coaches and team helpers will be meeting at King Edward Park under the shelter at 6:30 p.m. The baseball association says this gathering is for anyone who indicated during registration that they were interested in helping this season as a coach, assistance coach or team helper.
The association says do your best to attend as officials will be going over important information for the upcoming year and next steps for the baseball season. If you’re still debating helping out, you can also come on out and learn.
And the Belleville Senators have been honoured with a Community Partner Award from the Belleville Chamber of Commerce at the 162nd President’s Dinner Cornerstone Awards.
