My name is Mike Blackwell, and myself and fellow Kyle resident John Wipff coach a 10U girls’ softball team, the Hays Thunder, that has been invited to the Platinum Nationals tournament later this summer in Round Rock. We are in the process of fund-raising, and I wanted to make Kyle and Buda residents aware that we have had an AWFULLY difficult time finding a place – preferably a retail outlet – who will allow our girls to stand outside their stores with signs, giving folks an opportunity to help. If you are a place of business who is willing to help a GREAT bunch of 9- and 10-year-old local girls, please drop me a line at mikeblackwell3@gmail.com. Our parents spend A TON of money at the big retail and grocery outlets in our cities, and I’m surprised at how reluctant these big businesses are to reciprocate and help be a part of our great community.
Thanks for your help!
