Dear Parent, Thank you for taking the time to register
Dear Parent, Thank you for taking the time to register your child with our organization for the 2018 season!* Riverton Girls Softball League is a non-profit recreational softball organization that provides girls ages 4 to 14 years (and boys ages 4 to 6 years in our Co-Ed T-Ball division) the opportunity to learn, play and enjoy the sport of softball. Every child is guaranteed a spot to play on our teams regardless of their ability or expertise in the sport. Considering we are a non-profit organization run solely by volunteers, it is our dream to see this league flourish. It is one of the reasons we must rely upon the generous support of people like you to help make those dreams come true. Therefore, we hope you will join us by participating in our fundraisers, helping in the concession stand, assisting with an RGSL-sponsored event or doing your part to beautify our park and diamonds. Every little bit counts in helping keep this dream alive. 2018 RIVERTON GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE FUNDRAISER: LOTTERY RAFFLE You must sell 5 tickets at $10.00 each. Make sure to write the buyer of the ticket's name/phone/email on the stub and you retain the stub (you will be required to turn in all 5 stubs and $50.00 cash prior to uniform distribution). If you need more tickets to sell or wish to turn in your money and stubs to eliminate the chance of misplacement prior to the uniform distribution date (TBD), please contact an RGSL officer. For every 5 tickets sold, your child’s name will be placed in a drawing for $50 cash. The contest itself: During the month of June 2018, RGSL will be following the Illinois State Lottery's Pick 3 games and will post the numbers on the RGSL Facebook* page (www.facebook.com/pages/RivertonGirls-Softball-League) Anyone whose numbers match the pick 3 numbers (must be in the CHRONOLOGICAL order as drawn and no Fireball numbers) will win anywhere from $50 to $150 depending upon the day the numbers hit ($50 on weekdays, $100 on weekends, $150 on Father’s Day). Note: One ticket can have multiple wins if the numbers are picked more than once in the month of June. Ticket winners will be contacted at the end of the June when the contest is finished. *You do not need to be registered on Facebook to view our page. As the season has begun and we are all excited to watch the kids play, there are few reminders for each of us.
