3 Installation Service for District Superintendent Rev. Dr. Rob Townsend Sunday, Sep 23, :00 pm Bethesda UMC 406 N Division Street Salisbury, MD Shorebirds Offer Church Group Discounts Greetings, Unfortunately our plans for Faith and Family Night didn`t go quite as we hoped. We`d like to thank all of the churches that attended that night as we tried our best to get a game in but it wasn`t meant to be. We`re now entering the home stretch of our season and the push is on to finish the season in a big way. The team is currently in first place and playing great baseball. We really appreciate the year after year support churches give us and we`ve put together something special to say "Thank You!" On Tuesday and Wednesday August 28th and 29th we would like to offer our churches in the area $10.00 upper reserved seats for just $5.00 each. And, (are you sitting down?) on Thursday, August 30th we`ll offer the same $10.00 seats for only $2.00 each!! (Wait...did he just say $2.00??) Yes, $2.00 for everyone on our Fan Appreciation Night which also includes our big season ending Fireworks display!! (offers require a minimum purchase of 20 tickets). Please get your church family together and come out one more time before the season ends and root the Shorebirds on into the playoffs! Give me a call today and take advantage of this wonderful offer while we still have some great locations left to choose from. It`s been a pleasure working with each of you for the last 9 years. I thank you all so much and look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing you at the ballpark the last week of August!! Blessings, Skip Krantz Ticket Sales Account Executive and Church Group Representative
