Sandy Koufax..., Hank Greenberg..., Sean Green... only their mothers should be proud?? 

The Habonim Dream, our shul’s men’s softball team, needs players 21 or older (18 if your dad or uncle play on the team). We play Sunday mornings starting in early May. Playoffs are in September. A season’s worth of fun for only $200, which includes a $50 one-time jersey fee. $50 refund for anyone who plays in 6 games.

A bargain at twice the price, and a great father-son or uncle-nephew activity.

Please email Tom Bellman at tom@bellman.ca if you are interested or need more information.
