Youth Baseball Group

Last week I met a Silver Leaf Glen resident named Dale Friedman who has started a youth baseball organization which is quite dynamic! If you are interested in more information you can contact Dale here.
The Lake County Sidewinders Travel Baseball Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing players for high level competition. Our goal is to compete with class, have fun, and teach kids the right way to play the game. We compete in two travel baseball leagues and numerous tournaments, and were quite successful in our inaugural season

Check out the bulletin board section to see there league and tournament results.

Young Marines

I attended the Round Lake Park District's Fall Festival over the weekend, which was beneficial for signatures (my other project) and of course I always run into people wanting to talk about stuff, and this lady told me about some really interesting stuff!

Denise Jackson is a Round Lake Park resident who is active in an organization called the Young Marines which is a youth education and service program for boys and girls, ages 8 through completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The Young Marines is the focal point for the U.S. Marine Corps' youth Drug Demand Reduction efforts.

Denise is available here if you are interested in the joining or helping the local organization which has meetings throughout Lake County.
