June 23 Point Grey
Fiesta Parade
 Now that
the season is well under way, it is time to remind you of the
upcoming Point Grey Fiesta and the parade that kicks off the fiesta
on the morning of Saturday, June 23. This community event has
been running since 1986 and Jericho Baseball has traditionally had,
and would love to continue to have, a strong presence in the
parade. Here is a chance for your kids (and you!) to walk up
10th Avenue waving to all the adoring fans (neighbours).
There are no games on June 23, so hopefully we'll see many of
you at the parade.
The parade starts at 10:00 am at the UBC gates on 10th Avenue
and Blanca Street. We would ask that all participants from
Jericho Baseball meet in front of TD Canada Trust at the corner of
West 10th and Tolmie at 9:30 am. Look for Lisa Steiman or
Joanna Francis, our Jericho volunteer parents, who are coordinating
our participation in the parade.
Festivities begin immediately after the parade at Trimble Park
(the parade's finishing point).

Summer
Baseball?
Doesn't it seem like the normal Little League baseball season is
too short? Do you have some keen young baesballers that want to
keep playing through the summer? We are thinking about hosting some
extra sessions in late June, July, and August for those interested
and would like your input on what these sessions should look like.

Carnarvon Field
House Renovation:
Jericho Baseball is working on a proposal to the Vancouver Parks
Board to renovate the existing Field House at Carnarvon Park and
change the diamond configuration to put our main Majors diamond
closest to the field house. We hope to improve our concession
offering and build up the sense of community at the ballpark. The
improvements are being pursued in partnership with the Westside
Warriors minor football association.
We would welcome your comments and suggestions on this proposal.
Just send an email to info@jerichobaseball.com
