Another Great Volunteer opportunity for our young adults - Please read about Glen Oaks Challenger League!
Contact Dennis Noonan

Here in the Glen Oaks Little League. We run a Challenger League program. Where we allow boys and girls with physical and mental Challenges, ages 4 to 18 or up to 21 to play baseball. We play in a environment that is totally accepting of them. But we can not do this with volunteer help.

So if you are interested. The 2018 season will start in early spring and run to the end of June. For more information please contact Dennis Noonan at gobbclinic@aol.com

If you are able to redeem cans/bottles and wish to write a check out, to

Wellspring Water Inc.,


I will forward the check, OR, mail it directly to them. That would be VERY helpful to the effort. They have a very small 'staff' and are overwhelmed by the awesome response and quantities of cans and bottles.


If you cannot redeem them yourself,  then bring any redeemable cans and bottles to any of our youth group meetings and I will deliver them to the Wellspring people running the program.  If you have any collection ideas, please share them with me. This program will run throughout the entire youth group year.

PLEASE let's continue to try and help. With very little work on our part, we can make a BIG difference in the lives of people to whom clean water is not a 'given'.
THANK YOU
