RECREATION CORNER
Kudos to all-star teams and coaches
By Denise Senosk

The Quaboag All Star baseball and softball teams did a super job and seemed to have a lot of fun at the same time. Hats off to the coaching staff for remembering that town recreation leagues are for fundamentals. Thanks to all of you. Thank you, Paul Provost, once again, for providing us with our sound system during the All Star games.

South Pond
On Monday, June 27, a group of dedicated individuals and their families gathered at South Pond for what turned out to be one of the best clean-up days yet. The beach area has been completely cleaned up, as well as the grassy areas around the beach. Please help us to keep this clean. Special thanks to the Provost, Nichols, Gillmeister, Couture, Sinko and Defazio families. I do apologize, in advance, if I missed anyone.

Lewis Field
Monday nights continue to be busy with a weekly women’s softball game, Tuesdays with weekly basketball games, and the rest of the week with various all star baseball and softball games. As always, the playground is full of laughter and cheers of joy as our little angels play.

Pavilion
The pavilion is coming along nicely. Our volunteers are looking forward to completion. They have all been very busy throughout the past few months, pulling it all together. It will be nice to just sit and enjoy!

Flag Football
We’re still looking for more kids to join the 20 that have already signed up. This is for kids in grades 2 through 6. If interested, please call Keith Law at 867-3240 or Mike Lucas at 867-5966.

Trip to Foxwoods
