EMBRACING TOGETHERNESS: A SUMMER CHALLENGE FOR OUR FRIENDLY CITY

We are closing in on what is arguably the most anticipated of all the seasons: Summer. Yes, many of us look forward to the fall for the beautiful colors, the pumpkin spice lattes, the cozy sweaters, but no season captures the essence of joy, brightness, and togetherness quite like summer.

In the spirit of togetherness and under the auspice of the “Friendly City”, I would like to propose a community-based challenge. This summer, I challenge you to spend your time looking for the good in this City. There is so much of it around us from the simple smile from the neighbor across the street to the friendly hello to the cute baby at the grocery store. There are so many interactions that take place that I believe we take for granted.

We are about to embark on a heavy political time. We know from history that in big political years like the one ahead, we can put wedges between ourselves over differences that are only put under the magnifying glass every 4 years.

I ran into a resident of G-Section at Starbucks this week and was already considering writing about this topic of togetherness in my blog when she shared the story of the small things she is doing that make a big difference in her little part of town. That conversation inspired me to share a little bit about what I heard and how it made me feel.

This resident turned her own front yard into a place where all people can feel connected to the other people in their neighborhood. Not only did she set up a peaceful place to stop, rest, or take a selfie, but also a place to reflect, including a journal for stopper-bys to write a little something for the next person to read. These reflections include a place to write things you are grateful for as well as a place to ask for thoughts/ prayers for something you are struggling with. It’s an amazing way for people to feel like they are not alone. My heart was warmed thinking about this because this resident isn’t asking what people’s political affiliation is, their religious preferences, or who they love. She is simply helping people be connected through the human experience. It reinforced what I already know to be true … that people are mostly good, and mostly

kind. We all have something in common with every single person in this City. You live here, you play here, some of you work here. Differences make the world go ‘round and keep us balanced. It’s okay to have a different opinion than someone else. It’s okay to believe passionately and whole-heartedly in the things that make you, you. It’s also okay for the person next to feel those exact same things for what makes them, them. But the thing that ties us all together is that we are all human, and we live in a City that refers to itself as the “Friendly City.” If you are reading this, you are part of that narrative.

So, again, my challenge to you is to remember what being friendly looks like and do everything you can to be that, no matter your differences. Have a wonderful, fun-filled, and happy summer my friends. We hope to see you, smile at you, and even give you a high-five or elbow-bump when we see you in our parks and recreation facilities/programs.

Here are some photos of the “Friendly Corner” in G-Section which can be found on the cross streets of Grandview Way and Griffin Way.. The owner of these photos gave us permission to use them.

JUNIOR GIANTS FREE YOUTH BASEBALL LEAGUE

LIGA DE BALONCESTO JUVENIL, GRATIS

Play Ball! Rohnert Park Community Services is excited to be able to partner again with the Giants Community Fund to bring back for 2024 their flagship program, Junior Giants.

Junior Giants is a FREE, non-competitive, co-ed baseball and softball league for children. This innovative program is designed by the Giants Community Fund in cooperation with the San Francisco Giants. It uses baseball and softball to encourage and educate kids to live healthy and productive lives.

Each week, children are instructed on the fundamentals of the game and take part in a discussion on the “word of the week.” Words of the week include the “Four Bases of Character Development”: confidence, teamwork, leadership, and integrity. As kids complete each week’s discussions and challenges, they can earn fantastic San Francisco Giants-themed rewards.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

This league is possible only with the help of generous volunteers to serve as coaches and team parents.

Each division will be capped at a certain number of participants based on how many coaches are registered. As more volunteers register the caps will be raised and we will be able to serve more kids. Help us serve more kids by signing up today at www.rpcity.org/jrgiants

Great with kids but don’t know much about baseball? No problem! We will hold a coaches’ clinic before the season and provide you with everything you need, including practice plans. Coaches will also be trained on how to use our new upgraded app with resources for techniques and drill ideas including videos.

Registration: Registration will begin on April 1st and end on May 26th. To register please go online to www.rpcity.org/jrgiants Registration is first come-first served. All divisions will be initially capped at a number of participants based upon the number of registered volunteers.

Waiting List: Once space is full a waiting list will automatically be formed. As more volunteers sign up additional spots will be added and we will be able to add participants from the waiting list.

On the waiting list and want to secure a spot in the league? Spots are being reserved in the league for children of coaches and volunteers. When you sign up to coach or volunteer your child will be added to the list for those reserved spots.

No experience or equipment necessary. Equipment is generously provided by the Giants Community Fund. Every child will be provided with a hat, jersey, baseball pants, and a glove (if needed). Bats, helmets, balls, will be provided to each team. The kids (and coaches) will also receive a variety of special gifts from the San Francisco Giants for participating.

Opening Day: Week of June 10. The league will run for eight weeks with games ending on August 2.

Divisions and Schedule: The plan is for each team to have one game and one practice per week. The first two weeks will be two practices at normal practice times. The schedule is subject to change.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child playing in the Junior Giants, or if your child has special needs, contact Chris Morgan at 707-588-3451 or cmorgan@rpcity.org. A child’s age as of July 1, 2024 will determine in which division they can play. Players must be at least 5 years old by July 1 to play in the Junior Giants.

BACK FOR 2024 — SOFTBALL!

We are proud to bring back our new softball division for children ages 7-10 years old! This division has the same prizes and programs as the baseball division, but the sport is softball instead of baseball. The softball division will be all coach pitch.

Girls and boys ages 7-10 years old may choose to play either softball or baseball. In future years, we hope to expand this program to include a majors division for ages 10-13. If we do not get enough participants this season for softball all registered participants will have the opportunity to join the baseball division if they would like.

For more information, go to www.rpcity.org/jrgiants, or contact Chris Morgan, Junior Giants Commissioner, by phone (707-588-3451) or e-mail (cmorgan@rpcity.org).
