Second Base program returns for the 2012 season

Getting used baseball gear back in the game!

Do you have a closet full of baseball pants, belts, gloves and cleats that have been outgrown? Are old batting helmets, catchers gear, bats and balls taking up needed room in your garage? Give those items and chance to play again through Second Base!

We are collecting used baseball gear and reusing and recycling it within Arden Little League and beyond. Second Base will be collecting donations and distributing gear to those who would like gently used pants, belts, gloves and cleats.

WHERE TO DONATE:  At the Second Base table at Arden Little League Registration at Mariemont Elementary on January 4 and 12 and Arden Little League Tryouts on January 29 and February 4 at Valley Oak Park. Items can also be left in the collection box at 1324 Fitch Way. Donations are tax deductable!

WHERE TO ACQUIRE:  All items are free of charge! Look inside the Second Base locker at http://ardensecondbase.blogspot.com to see our inventory. Contact Ben and Jack Maves at secondbase@surewest.net or at 485-4668 to place an order or receive more specific information.
