Businesses help with dugouts

When people come forward to help out our students in the Cape Girardeau School District, it sure is a pleasure for me to tip my hat to them. We have been working hard to build and maintain the athletic fields at Central High School, and without the generous backing of numerous volunteers who have contributed labor, money and materials, the task would be impossible.

The dugouts on the JV softball field needed concrete flooring so the girls would not have to stand in mud to use them when it rained. Stepping forward to solve this problem were two businesses: Drury Company, which supplied the laborers, and Delta Concrete, which donated the concrete. They did one heck of a job for the players. These are not easy times for local businesses, so it was a sacrifice on their part. The next time you come in contact with either company, please let them know how much they are appreciated.

Furthermore, the players who use the dugouts take note: A lot of good people think you are very, very important.
