Happy new year everyone. Wow! Can you believe that Y2K
and the end of human control on earth was a full decade ago! Also, the last
time the world was going to end altogether was in 1984 - a full two and a half
decades ago! I guess we must have another one coming up pretty soon. The rumor
is 2012.
In the meantime, we'll keep the course and create park
programs full of joy and celebration so we can all enjoy ourselves while we're
waiting.
Becky Barlow and the Plumstead Park Committee are heaping
it on this year! Stay tuned to the website: http://www.plumsteadparkandrec.org/
Keep an eye on this one, 2010 is going to be fun in
Plumstead Parks.
Also, for all you river lovers, there are two important
Delaware River trips this summer. See the attached links to the Delaware River
Sojourn in June and the Rising Nation Journey in August.

has been invited to send its 12-year-old baseball team to Cooperstown, N.Y.,
home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. They will compete in the Cooperstown Dreams
Park Invitational Tournament July 16-22.
The

a team sponsor (starting at $100)
- come
to Comedy Night at Poco's on March 20 at 7 p.m. - only $20 a person!
- send
your baseball player (age 7-10) to a great clinic the team is hosting this
spring

Together,
we can help the boys achieve their dream and bring the national title to
Plumstead!

CBAA Soccer
|
 Youth Programs
The Central Bucks Athletic Association (CBAA) Intramural Soccer Program is to provide
for and encourage youth participation in recreational soccer within the Central
Bucks County community. "Winning" for CBAA Intramural Soccer is not defined by the
score at the end of the game but by the recognition among each of our players
that he/she learned how to play the game of soccer, contributed to the team,
and had fun.
CBAA also sponsors TOPSoccer or The Outreach
Program for Soccer, which is a nationally run organization under the U.S. Youth
Soccer (USSF) organization. It helps get soccer programs, targeting
special needs children, started in local communities. This program
adjusts to the needs of each individual and allows each child to gain
experience in a team sport in a non-competitive environment.
The CBAA TOPSoccer program is offered to children ages from 5 to 14. If you have any questions
about CBAA Intramural Soccer or TOPSoccer, please email us at info@cbaasoccer.com
Program Registration closes January 31st.
