To The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska “Successful 2012 Baseball Season”

On behalf of the South Sioux City PinStripes Organization, we would like to Thank You for your generous donation. Your contribution made it possible for us to have successful 2012 Baseball Season. Since the organization started in 2011, the SSC Pinstripes are growing into a well-respected youth baseball organization. This past year, we had expanded from just one age division to fi elding two age divisions (12 & under and 13 & under). We participated in several local, regional, and national tournaments. Of which venues included a National Invitational Tournament in Omaha, Nebraska and a Gameday USA Tournament in Dells, Wisconsin. This is only possible because of thoughtful contributions from people like you. In the upcoming year of 2013, we plan to expand by adding another age division to the organization. Also, we are planning to participate in more local, regional, and national tournaments. As you know, the cost of having a “select” youth baseball organization does not go away. We hope for your continued support and generosity in the future.

Sincerely, Alton Porter SSC Pinstripes Manager

Last week I fi nally made it to an Indian’s Basketball game and as is always the case I had to try and catch someone in an embarrassing eating position, this time, I caught someone getting fancy with their popcorn consumption practices, cool. The Winnebago Heritage Express most recently known as the ‘Pony Express,’ is still below the national average for the price of a gallon of gas by 18 cents.

Construction on the new baseball/softball complex continues at the most recent development site just south of Winnebago on U.S. Hwy 75, or is it 77, I don’t know, the road going to Macy. This week contractors were erecting the light posts and fi nishing up on the fall planting of the outfi elds. Also under construction is the Blackhawk Community Center, completed in 1976, this is the fi rst major renovations for the BHCC, which will include an addition to the Whirling Thunder Wellness Center and restructuring of the exterior of the entire building.
