RSPA Coed Slo-Pitch League did another Food Bank Drive
RSPA Coed Slo-Pitch League added Food Bank donation drives to all four of our RSPA banquets. We collected food items such as cans and non-perishable food, including: baby food and formula, peanut butter, canned fish and meat, canned fruits and vegetables, rice, grains, lentils, beans, dried pasta, pasta sauce and canned tomatoes (whole or crushed), cans of soup and stew, etc. We also collected $80 in cash that we converted to groceries. That came out to 21 large boxes of food that I delivered to the local food drive at the Salvation Army.

RSPA 2019 Slo-Pitch Tournaments
We had great fun with the RSPA slo-pitch tournaments in 2019 even though the weather did not always cooperate.The May tournament was completely rained out and the city cancelled the permits before it even started.
August tournament with 60 teams started out in the rain and mud and finished up on Sunday with a great day for ball!
Tournaments in June and two tournaments in July and two tournaments in September had great weather. And rain or shine it was always a great party after the tournament at the Irish Shebeen Pub with karaoke from Sharon and torontokaraoke.ca.
Here are some of the pictures from the 2019 RSPA slo-pitch tournaments.
