It may be football season to a lot of folks, but for members of the Sun Lakes Senior Softball Association it’s almost softball season! Our fall league begins on Tuesday, October 28 and runs through December 18. Each of our six teams will play 10 doubleheaders (20 games) during the season.

In the interim our recreational program continues at the Field of Dreams every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning. Come by the field and get in shape for league play or to just have some fun playing softball. See our website at www.sunlakessoftball.com for more information. We’ll also have a booth at each of the HOA Activities Open Houses during October. Stop by to learn more about both our recreational programs and league play. We’ll also have information regarding our ladies’ softball program.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of long time Association member Ralph Thomas. Ralph loved the game and played through the 2006 season when bad knees forced him to hang up his cleats. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Trudey and his other family members and many friends.
