Sandpiper Cruise for Our August Meeting!

Instead of our regular August meeting we are taking a Sandpiper Cruise. The cruise will take place on Wednesday, August 17th. We begin boarding promptly at 6:45 pm, and leave the dock at 7:00. This will be a lovely evening cruise operated by PPBA member Mary Dalby and her Sandpiper boat. The cost is only $15 for members and $20 for guests. This includes both your cruise and a light meal by Kelly’s Catering. The Sandpiper is docked at Promenade Park at Jefferson and Water Streets in downtown Toledo. Come early to make sure you find a place to park and get on board on time. Food, water and soft drinks will be provided. You are welcome to bring alcoholic beverages. Invite friends and family to join us for the cruise.

If you would like to attend you need to make a reservation by registering online at http://ppba.memberlodge.com or by contacting either Connie Durand at 419-344-7873 (conniedurand867@yahoo.com) or Mary Lichtenwald at maryliz630@aol.com or 419-472-6529. Deadline to register is Tuesday, August 16, 2016.

You will need to pay before boarding the boat. Please bring correct change or check made out to PPBA with Sandpiper in the memo.

Our July PPBA Membership Meeting & Dinner will be a group outing to a Toledo Mud Hens Game on Wednesday, July 20th. They will be playing Pawtucket @ 7:05 pm. We may have a short business meeting at 6:30 with buffet dinner to follow during the game.

The cost is $20 for members, which will include dinner and game, and $30 for guests and non-members.

You are welcome to invite friends and family (kids and grandkids welcome). The deadline for RSVP has been extended to July 15. You can sign on line at http://ppba.memberlodge.com or contact Mary Lichtenwald at maryliz630@aol.com or 419-472-6529 or Joyce Ejhinger at jejhinger@aol.com or 419-320-9979. We need payment in advance. You will need a ticket and wrist band to enter.

You will enter through the Swap Shop on St. Clair or Washington Streets. You will take the elevator to the 3rd floor.

We will have a private area for PPBA in the Roost. The Roost is the most popular party and entertainment space at Fifth Third Field, and for good reason. There’s nothing like it, anywhere. Located in right field, The Roost offers guests the opportunity to be inside or to watch the game from an outdoor deck that ESPN.com says offers the best seats in Minor League Baseball.

You can drive and park, carpool or…Catch the TARTA Shuttle at the Alexis Rd. Meijer (1500 E. Alexis Road)

• Arrive at any TARTA Muddy Shuttle Park-N-Ride location one hour before home game time for a direct ride to Fifth Third Field.
• It’s only $1.25 per person—60¢ for seniors 65+ and persons with disabilities—each way, payable each time you board the Muddy Shuttle. No game ticket is required to ride.
• Return trips leave 20 minutes after the end of the game. Or, when post-game fireworks are featured, return bus trips leave 20 minutes after the fireworks. When the game’s over, please board your Muddy Shuttle bus on the first-base side of Fifth Third Field on Washington and N. Huron Streets.
