Rotary member Jan Rockwell was honored to throw out the first pitch on opening day of the Marysville Little League season March 15. Marysville Rotary has been assisting the league in an ambitious project to reclaim an abandoned youth ballpark, Chiono Field, on 14th Street. Jan brought the project to Rotary's attention and was the logical choice to represent the club when the league honored us with the invitation.

 

The club has committed approximately $100,000 and a lot of elbow grease to improvements, including fencing, bleachers, a backstop and new dugouts to reclaim the ballpark for Marysville Little League games. The field has not been used for youth sports for several years. 

This is Rotary in action!
