<b>Baseball Team Needs Host Families</b>
The Alexandria Aces Collegiate Summer Baseball Club, the eighth and newest franchise of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League, is looking for host families for the upcoming 2009 season.
Questions asked of potential host families are: Are there spare rooms in the home? Interested in having an impact on a young man's life and possibly his future professional major league career? Interested in building a relationship that may last a lifetime? Love the game of baseball? If "yes," become an Aces host family.
This summer, approximately 30 young men from all over the United States will come to Alexandria to play wooden bat baseball at Frank E. Mann Field at Four Mile Run Park. From early June, to early August, they will play 42 games in 60 days. An Aces player hosted this summer might one day be playing Major League Baseball some time in the future.
Host families are asked to provide a warm bed and access to a washer and dryer. The Aces will take care of the rest. To volunteer as a host family, contact Aces general manager, Brian Midkiff, at 703-232-8869, or email Brian at brian@alexandriaaces.org
