 I am going to contact the organizer of this event for tickets for ENRICH.  I need to know who has interest in attending the Tuesday 6/2 game at 10am.  Tickets are free and if you have never been to the fields it is a great opportunity to check out the facility.  They have concessions, a play ground and covered pic nic tables.  I will have to double check, but I do not think you can take coolers in, but they do offer discounts on prepaid concession tickets.   We always grab lunch after the game at a nearby Wendy's.  I would recommend you take an umbrella, it can get hot.  Let me know by Tuesday 4/14 so I can get this organized and get final details out.                                If you have any questions, let me know.                                                                      :)  Lynn        The Milams milam3@carolina.rr.com    

First I would like to thank all of you for your tremendous support of our Education Days.  It is truly a pleasure to have all of your kids at the ballpark.  The first two of our Education Days have gone very well.  First one a little cold and windy but all in all, a great start to our season.   As a reminder, we have two more on the horizon for those that have not booked their day yet or for those that just want to come back again.  May 20th is the 11:05am game and June 2nd is the last of our Education Day games for '09 and begins at 10:05am.  The June 2nd game is nearing capacity so if you want to come and we don't know about it yet, please RSVP as soon as possible. Kannapolis Intimidators Thanks again for all that you do and for your support of Intimidators Baseball.   Sincerely,   Tim Mueller Vice President Kannapolis Intimidators
