New and Notes: Seems like everyone had a good go of it Sunday evening.  The weather improved as the evening progressed and most teams got to play in at least one game.  All the participating teams looked good.  I think the new schedule will make this the most interesting year to date.  Anyways, hope you all had fun last weekend! Field Repairs- Sol Arie, of Open Sky Landscaping fame, is resodding and reseeding Water Tower Park and Edgewood (East and West) in the area's where we have caused the most damage.  Thanks for your hard work, Sol!  So, in order to give his work the best chance for success, please keep off those fields for a few weeks. If you need practice locations try: woodlawn, wrigley, fenway, hillcrest, deerfield, and woody.  Please comment below with suggestions regarding other fields.  Again, KVKL does not encourage the use of South Park during the 2009 season for kickball related activities.  Thanks for your attention to this matter! Hobbs bathroom- We may be waiting a bit longer on the permanent bathroom as there is a sewage linkage problem to the new location.  LPRD thinks we'll have the new one in (and functioning) by July.  Till then, we're stuck with the portable pot(ty's).  Ick!  Bring you hand sanitizers.  I wonder if Curtis will lend us his "pooh" suit (?).....sorry. Recycling- We are still working on a recycling program and it looks like there's no escaping using Hobbs as a collection hub.  I believe Cans for Community will be placing aluminum collection bins at Hobbs.  So we'll hand out to each field (except Hobbs) a collapsable bag from which folks may place their recyclables and return them to Hobbs at the end of the evening.  You'll get the bag when you pick up equipment.  Once to Hobbs, we will need to separate the bottles and plastics into different bins (which will be provided by KVKL) as ONLY aluminum cans go into the CFC bins.  This program will require some work from all of us.  We'll change the program as necessary to make this a fluid and simple process. We welcome your input.  Please, please help us make this easy.  Schedule- We will have the first five weeks schedule to share with you very soon as we are currently in the voting process re: field selection.  Lastly, I'll be gone for the first week of the season and Nick Lerner will operate as Commissioner whilst I'm away.  If you have pressing concerns re: KVKL and want an attentive ear, that'd be a golden opportunity. I know Nick is excited about the chance to share his wisdom AND solve problems.  Need kballs?  Please give me a shout. Deron gradually@hotmail.com
