Dear Council Members:
I am writing to ask that you consider the resolution being presented to allow Oro Valley
Fastpitch Softball to install scoreboards at the softball fields at Riverfront Park.
Oro Valley Fastpitch Softball has called Riverfront Park its home for the past eleven years.
Each year we provide an opportunity for up to 350 girls, ages 4-16, to play fastpitch softball.
Oro Valley Fastpitch and its volunteers work to teach the girls leadership, teamwork, and
achievement through softball. We strive to create a fun environment for not only the girls, but
their families to enjoy fastpitch softball.
Oro Valley Fastpitch has maintained positive relationship with The Council as well as The
Parks and Recreation Department. We want to express our appreciation for everything The
Council has done over the years to further our organizations endeavors and look forward to
continuing that relationship for many years to come.
Oro Valley Fastpitch has been a positive influence on the community in many ways. Our
members have attended many civic events in an effort to promote recreation in our
community. In 2012, Oro Valley Fastpitch raised the funds for and donated the shade
structures currently residing over the bleachers at the softball fields at Riverfront Park. This
project was the culmination of our partnership with you to enhance the facility in an effort to
bring more enjoyment to the spectator watching softball at Riverfront Park. The resolution
being presented to you today is much like that project with the same goal of enhancing the
softball spectator's experience. Oro Valley Fastpitch has worked diligently to raise the funds
necessary to purchase and install said scoreboards at the softball fields at Riverfront Park.
Our donors include businesses and members of the community sharing in the same goal of
promoting youth athletics. With your support, softball at Riverfront Park will be more
enjoyable for our girls,their families, and sponsors alike. For this reason, we are asking that
you please consider and pass the resolution put before you that would allow Oro Valley
Fastpitch Softball to install scoreboards at the softball fields at Riverfront Park.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Chad Andrews
President, Oro Valley Fastpitch Softball
