Marlins: April 23 @ 6:30: Game Night and Social/Info Night
Greetings Marlins,
Hope the first week of practice went well for everyone. Here is an overview of what’s coming up this week as well as a few reminders and previews.
APRIL 23 @ 6:30 - 8:30: GAME NIGHT (KIDS) & PARENT SOCIAL AND INFO NIGHT
We have our first social & informational event this Saturday, April 23rd from 6:30 - 8:30 PM in the clubhouse. The kids will have an old-fashioned game night (games provided, but feel free to bring any non-electronic games) while the parents will have a social and information presentation about the season. This is for both Jr. Marlins and Marlins (Jr. Marlins, please consider anything for Marlins as including Jr. Marlins too).
We will be circulating the presentation for those not able to attend and also offering it via zoom. If you are coming to the parent social, there will be a live presentation, but if you can’t, there will be a zoom meeting starting at 6:30 PM (zoom link here).
