Softball New Brunswick is involved in a project to outfit Canadian troops in CABUL, Afghanistan with slopitch gear! If you have "gently used" gloves or bats you would like to donate, please contact Bev at adams@nb.sympatico.ca or through our facebook site. Softball Canada and some suppliers are donating items such as jerseys, hats, bats and balls so we're collecting gloves. The project coordinator, Eve Nash, from Smythe Street Cathedral who's daughter Sonia is over there with the Canadian Troops is hoping to get the packages ready to go by May 18th. Stay tuned! If you're in the Fredericton area, drop your gloves off at Smythe St. Cathedral or call Bev 506-454-8994.
