Kick-off to Summer

Hey Silver Hawks Fans!

Can you believe it!! 39 more days until the season starts with the Notre Dame Exhibition game! I am starting to get the itch for summer with all this cold weather we've been having. I am ready to escape the cold and enjoy the warm weather! To satisfy my cravings for summer, I will be appearing at the 2010 Michiana Summer Camp Fair at the Century Center between 11 am - 1 pm. Not only will I be celebrating the start to the baseball season, but I will be helping the Silver Hawks set up a booth to promote our two Summer Programs: Swoop's Sidekicks and Baseball Academy.

Swoop's Sidekicks is a Kid's Club for children under the age of thirteen. Every Swoop Sidekick receives special prizes for being an official member including free tickets to every Sunday game and free access to the Fun Zone. It's an unbelievable club! A special offer this year is an exclusive Team Party in the Fun Zone with an autograph session with Swoop and the players! No kid will want to miss out!

The Silver Hawks will be hosting two Baseball Academies this summer. The Hitting Academy will be held on June 19th from 9am - noon. The Pitching and Catching Academy is on July 8th from 9 am - noon. The academies are for children ages 8-16. What child wouldn't want to spend a day playing baseball with The Silver Hawks (and ME!!!) on a Minor League field?

I hope all of you can make it out to The Century Center to see me! But if you can't and you want more information about these programs, log onto our website: www.silverhawks.com.

Hope to see you this Saturday!!!

Flying to a Location Near You

Hey Silver Hawk Fans!

I know it may not look like Spring outside, but the countdown until the start of the 2010 South Bend Silver Hawks season is 46 days! Yay! Get excited! I am ready to shake my tail feathers, are you? Just so you know... tickets are going on sale online March 1st and at the box office on March 13th. You DO NOT want to miss out on all the fun entertainment and action this season! SO BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!

As I told you before, I have been working very hard this past month by visiting different schools, community centers, and businesses in the Michiana area. Recently, the Silver Hawks manager, Mark Haley, and I visited Healthwin, a local rehabilitation center. Haley and I had a blast talking and playing BINGO with the residents. We surprised all the BINGO winners with Silver Hawks souvenirs. They enjoyed all of their prizes and had even more fun telling us stories about their own baseball experiences. I can't wait to go back! However, before I visit again I am going to have to work on my BINGO skills, because it seemed like the residents had all the luck!

Stay tuned for more stories of my adventures in the Michiana area. You never know when I might just fly in for a visit!

GO SILVER HAWKS!
