BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Thanksgiving is one of the most important holidays of the year. (Although I am sure the kids will put in a good word for Christmas and Halloween.) There is a lot of meaning to the holiday than just turkey, pumpkin pie and football. The day is about giving thanks for all of our blessings and remembering all of the good things and people in our life.

Why is it so important? Because it is the best time of the year to say the two most important words in the English language, “Thank You”.

Babe Ruth League, Inc. realizes that the success the program enjoys today has been achieved through a team effort. We have always felt that we have the best volunteers of any youth sports organization. Therefore, during this Thanksgiving holiday, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made the dreams of our players possible. In this spirit, we simply, but sincerely say - THANK YOU - for caring about our children, for helping teach them the basic fundamentals of baseball and softball in a fun atmosphere.

I also want to give special recognition to our service men and women who will be away from their families this Thanksgiving to defend the many freedoms we as Americans enjoy. We want to let each and every one of our men and women in uniform know they have our support, our respect and our gratitude as they carry out their mission. Together, as a nation, it is important to show our troops and their families, who give so much and ask so little in return, just how THANKFUL we are and how much we appreciate them.

This is Thanksgiving week, a time for celebration, reunion and gratitude. It is a time to remember that all we have and all we have achieved in life is not the sole results of our own efforts, but the results of the efforts of many. There are so many unsung heroes who make our world a better place. Perhaps the most useful of all ideas is to make Thanksgiving Day every day. There is nothing like a truly heartfelt THANK YOU!

Wishing a very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
