Mission: Is to change the lives of children from families in crisis by loving and 8 nuturing them in a Christian environment, raising them to become self-sustaining and contributing adults. Established in 1971, Boys and Girls Country is a 501 (c) (3) charitable home. Our children are primarily from the greater Houston area and our home has a capacity to serve 48 boys & 40 girls ranging in age from 5-18. Boys and Girls Country provides a warm, loving, family-like Christian environment where kids have the opportunity to grow up safe and secure and develop to their full potential. Residents live on campus and attend public schools. They also participate in outside activities such as band, church, sports, summer camps, etc. We have been home to over 1,200 children since 1971. Boys and Girls Country does not rely on federal or state grants for ongoing support and we are not a United Way member agency. Our funding and volunteer support relies heavily on caring individuals, businesses, civic groups, churches and foundations in the community. We are committed to serving children who need our Home and no child is turned away because their family cannot afford to pay.

- Baseball Basics: Stats 101 - Batting Average (AVG): Divide the number of base hits by the total number of at bats. Astros For example: If Hunter Pence has 600 at bats and has 206 hits. 206 / 600 = .343 His Houston batting average is .343 Earned Run Average (ERA): Multiply the total number of earned runs by nine and divide the results by the total innings pitched. For Example: If Brett Myers has allowed 67 runs in 220 innings. Multiply 67 by 9. 67 x 9 = 603. Divide 603 by 220 (his innings pitched). 603 / 220 = 2.74... is his ERA. W-L Percentage: Divide the number of games won by the total number of decisions. For Example: If Wandy Rodriguez has a 16 - 3 record, Divide his win total (16) by his total number of decisions (16 + 3 = 19). 16 / 19 = 0.842... is his W-L Percentage. - Roster - Slugging Percentage (SLG): Divide the total number of bases of all base hits by the Pitchers total number of times at bat. For Example: If Carlos Lee has 282 total bases and 440 8 Fernando Abad at bats. Divide 282 by 440. 282 / 440 = .641... is his SLG. – Juan Abreu 67 David Carpenter On-Base Percentage (OBP): The total number of hits plus bases on balls plus hits by 64 Jorge De Leon pitch divided by at bats plus bases on balls plus hit by pitch plus sacrifice flies.For 66 Enerio Del Rosario Example: In Lance Berkman’s 434 at bats, he has 152 hits, 59 walks, has been hit by 9 52 Sergio Escalona pitches and he’s hit 6 sacrifice flies. Here is the formula to determine his OBP: 47 Jeff Fulchino (152 + 59 + 9) / (434 + 59 + 9 + 6) = 220 / 508 = .433... is his OBP. 30 J.A. Happ Fielding Average: Divide the total number of putouts and assists by the total number – Lucas Harrell of putouts, assists and errors. For Example: Michael Bourn has 218 putouts and – Blake King 290 assists while committing only 2 errors. His fielding percentage is determined as 65 Arcenio Leon follows: (218 + 290) / (218 + 290 + 2) = 508 / 510 = .996... is his fielding average. 59 Wilton Lopez 41 Jordan Lyles Magic Numbers: Determine the number of games yet to be played, add one then 54 Mark Melancon subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the standings from the 39 Brett Myers closest opponent. For Example: Houston is 7 games ahead with 50 games remaining. 20 Bud Norris So here’s Houston’s magic number: 62 Aneury Rodriguez Games remaining (50) + 1 = 51. 51 - 7 = 44... is Houston’s magic number to clinch. 43 Fernando Rodriguez 51 Wandy Rodriguez 65 Henry Sosa 60 Jose Valdez - TICKETS - 56 Henry Villar 53 Wesley Wright 713.259.8500 Catchers Minute Maid Park Box Office is located on Texas Avenue. 22 Carlos Corporan During the season, its hours are 8:30 am - 5:30 pm on weekdays and 9:00 am - 3:00 pm on Saturdays.

Guide as much as possible, which includes buying rebuild one commercial air fleet. products with recycled content.

Recycling • The energy that it takes to replace the aluminum cans wasted in 2001 was equivalent to 16 million barrels of crude oil. • Recycling 1 aluminum can save enough energy to run a TV set for 3 hours. • 5 recycled plastic bottles make enough fiberfill to stuff a ski jacket. • 1 ton of recycled paper uses; 64% less energy, 50% less water, 74% less air pollution, saves 17 trees & creates 5 times more jobs than one ton of paper products from virgin wood pulp. • Gas mileage drops 1% for every pound below the recommended tire inflation level.

Reduction Tips Buy items, such as liquid detergent, in bulk or larger packaging. Buy products, like paper towels, that consist of a higher percentage of recycled material. Change from disposable to reusable - such as fabric napkins, glasses, permanent coffee filters. Use a battery charger. Keep your business local - such as farmers markets & co-ops. Buy only what you need versus buying multiple packages. Notify companies that send you unwanted catalogs to remove your name from their mailing lists. Reusing Tips Take reusable totes to the store instead of using store bags. Use plastic shopping bags as small garbage can liners. Start a “lend & borrow” program with your friends & family. Use newspapers, boxes, peanuts, bubble wrap & brown paper bags for wrapping & shipping packages. Use sheets, towels & blankets to pad items when moving instead of disposable packing supplies.
