GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
The forecast for Saturday may be a wash out and Sunday is iffy at best. For you football fans out there, I hope your teams improved via last night’s round 1 of the NFL draft. As for the baseball fans in our community, it looks like there may become a debate forthcoming over the type of baseball used in MLB due to the recent incident with Max Scherzer of the Mets. Stay tuned.
Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:
