The Alexandria Bay Rotary and A.C.S. Alumni pooled their resources and built the final of the two dugouts. The cost to the taxpayers? Zero Dollars! This group has clearly demonstrated what can be accomplished when thinking outside of the box. Given the current climate of our School budget, the Administration, Students, Teachers, Coaches, and Tax Payers might want to take a long hard look at those dugouts and say.... we could accomplish so much more for the students and athletes if we all tried harder to cooperate.
Thank
you to the volunteers.
The
Rotary Club of Alexandria Bay recently completed a one year project
of constructing dugouts for the baseball field at Alexandria Central.
All
materials were donated by Charles Garlock & Sons and John Durand
of Wellesley Island Building Supply. The project was done at no cost
to the taxpayers.
Special
thanks goes to Ron Beach of Putnam Construction for supplying labor
and expertise, Doug Strough for excavation, John Stine for donating
crushed stone, and members of the Rotary Club for swinging hammers
and manning screw guns.
All
that participated feel it is a nice looking addition to our facility,
improving the experience for our athletes. I think I speak for all
of them when I say it felt good to do something for our Alma Mater.

Bloggers Note:
Apparently the T.I.Sun has a we do not print Thank You notes policy. I assume that this policy would be waved in lieu of whatever fee they charge for announcements. Or maybe since everyone in this project donated time, talent, and materials, maybe, just maybe the Sun could have donated a small space for the Thank You Note to all the volunteers.
