Neighborhood Softball League Forming

Would you like to join a neighborhood softball league? My husband David and I have played in the Swillburg League for the past two years, and we have loved it! It’s a friendly league with all different skill levels. Since there has not been an UMHN team, we have been forced to play for Swillburg last year, and Highland this year. Though everyone is nice, we’d love to bring a team from our neighborhood next year. Games are played at Mary Daly Park (Gregory and Mt. Hope) or School 25 (Field St. near Monroe). The season runs from July to October, with games on Saturday mornings, and sometimes, one evening during the week. Anyone who is interested in joining a Mt. Hope Neighborhood team, can contact: Jennifer & David Cherelin, 473-0144, littlescrub@bluefrog.edu or jlr57@cornell.edu Check out the Swillburg League’s website at www.SEFCsoftball.com Although this is from 2007, it gives good info and background about the league.

Neighborhood Garage Sale June 6-8

Join in the fun as the UMHN Association once again sponsors an area-wide garage/yard sale. This is the 5th year for this hugely successful event. As before, it will be held the first weekend in June, beginning on Friday, June 6 and continuing on Saturday, and Sunday. Participants are invited to plan their sale on this weekend, and hold it either 1, 2 or all 3 days – whatever your schedule allows. We will compile a listing of participating (“paid for”) households, and make the list available for you to hand out to your shoppers. Last year we had 30 participating households! Classified ads will be placed and signs will be located at the ends of the streets on which there is a sale. You may also place your own signs. Interested? Fill out the Garage-Sale Form, and drop it, along with $5.00 (check payable to UMHN), to help defray costs of advertising, to: Barb Sanko, 123 Raleigh (corner of Raleigh & Norfolk), or bring it to the Spring General Meeting on May 5. Deadline is May 28.
