Bridge to the Future
Tuesday, July 17, 2007 
As the flagship event of the major men’sfastball season draws
ever nearer I am sending this appeal to all majorfastball players
, coaches and managers participating in or simply enjoying theISC
World Tournaments to give a little back to the game through the
Bridge tothe Future training program.
 
Attached is a schedule of events for theskills clinics on Monday
August 13 and Tuesday August 14. The infrastructure isin place
to host hundreds of youth intent on growing with their sport,
all weneed to be successful are world class individuals who will
share a little timeand knowledge for the betterment of this game.
 
Last year Kitchener set an ISC bar that may never be equaledin
terms of attendance, instruction and support for the Bridge to
the Futureprogram. Like any good team we cannot dwell on last
years success and we haveset our goal to push that bar one notch
higher in 2007.
 
I realize that schedules will dictateparticipation from individuals
and teams but I would ask each of you to contactme by return
e-mail with at least your commitment to assist us if the SoftballGods
give you some spare time during any of the times listed. Having
personallyparticipated in previous Bridge to the Future events
and skills clinics withTeam Canada, Team USAand the New Zealand
Black Sox I can assure you there is great personal rewardin seeing
young players trying to improve their individual game by hanging
onyour every word.
 
It is a privilege to be able toparticipate in the World Tournament,
share in the full experience by steppingup to the plate to be
able to secure its future.
 
Sincerely,
 
Larry Lynch
Kitchener Bridge to the Future
