Chapel’s Trustees have been busy…..
Thank you
(This is an excerpt from a thank you sent to Tim Odle from the Head Baseball Coach at North Central Universi-
ty. The team played two double headers on the GMG High School Field recently)
Thank you again so much for Chapel’s hospitality and to everyone in the community who embraced us and
made us feel welcome and special! It was a neat trip for us all and I am very glad we did it. I have high ex-
pectations for this group, even though we lost our game, there are things we can correct and will correct as the
season goes on. We would be much worse off if we weren't able to play this weekend and learn all the things
we did.
We will play in Grinnell at the high school field on Friday starting at 4 pm and Noon at the College field on
Saturday this week against Lawrence University from Appleton, Wisconsin. Lawrence's coach is from Grinnell
originally and he knew exactly where Green Mountain was when I talked to him!
Thanks again for all you did to make this trip happen and a great experience! Hope to maybe see you this
weekend.
Take care,
Tim Beasley
Head Baseball Coach
