Ball Park Picnic

Well guys the date has been set & the deposit paid for an exciting night of Baseball @ our own Dickey Stevens Ball Park on August 11th @ 6:00 PM. You & your fellow neighbors will meet for all you can eat hot dogs & burgers in the Baggage Picnic area,then we have reserved seating on the 3rd base for the whole group!

The kids will get a chance @ meeting a ball player as they exit the locker room, I have  it from a higher authority that the players will even give out autographs. So bring the family or just yourself & come out for some fun.

The tickets are $13.50 each & you can pay Scott Miller, Eric Francis or myself. I need a head count by July 28th so please spread the word to everyone you know. My phone number is 376-1127 if you have any questions or email me.

In the event of rain they will still have the picnic in a safe area & give us baseball tickets for another night.

Note: this event is in place of the annual Boosters Block Party. We just didn't have the funds this year but we do have something planned involving the Yard Sale. Please save the date of October 2 for the Yard Sale & a cook out!

upcoming events

Hi Guys- hope everyone had a great Independence Day holiday & is refreshed. I wanted to pass along some some changes to the Boosters program this year & possible upcoming events.
Boosters has had a bit of a financial set back this year & is unable to fund certain events. Now I know what you are asking, "OK, how does this effect me?", well, I am glad you asked! How this effects everyone is the ability to have a block party. Here are some things we are looking at in it's place:
1) Having a night out at the Ball Park. We can do an "all you can eat" picnic, which includes your ticket, for about $13.50 each. We need 20 or more folks to participate. You would be responsible for the price of your ticket.
2) Have a BIG neighborhood wide Yard Sale this Fall followed by a cook out. Probably in October.
3) An Argenta Flotilla has also been suggested for an up coming Saturday, or a week day if everyone can get off from work. This would be an all day event to the Caddo River in Arkadelphia. You would need to bring a floating device & your refreshments. If it takes place on a Saturday then you can rent a tube at the river.
Let me know your thoughts.
I know there are problems with being able to respond to the blog entry's (an issue we are working on) so please email me @:

Sorry I am late with this message from Scott Miller

On this 4^th of July weekend commemorating the founding of Country, it is a good time to remember the sacrifices so many have made to preserve and protect our Country.  A group in Amboy is erecting a statue and monument on the corner of Military and MacArthur Drives.  Hundreds of thousands of servicemen have passed by this intersection for decades on their way to Camp Robinson.  A non-profit has been set up with the AR Secretary of State and an account has been set up at Centennial Bank.  All contributions are tax deductible.

You can support this very worthy cause by buying a brick for the monument engraved with your personal message for as little as $50 or by buying a engraved message on the granite statue pedestal for $500.  A sketch of the monument is attached as well as the brick donation form and more information about the monument is attached for your review.

Please consider forwarding this to your membership and enjoy your long 4^th of July  weekend.

Veteran's Memorial

.  I will be sending out information about another veterans project in Amboy in the next few days.  It very appropriate we consider and support those who have served our county over this 4^th of July weekend celebrating the founding of our County.  Either or both of these two projects would be an excellent way to show your support. Thanks to Alderperson Debi Ross for bringing this to my attention
