Baseball games a fun time for all
Thanks to the many Scholars who turned out at our baseball games in Detroit (2), Cleveland, and Chicago. It was fun being on the field to be honored by the respective teams. We were treated to some great baseball and good times at all three events (although we could have done without some of the early rain in Chicago!) We hope you enjoyed the ceremonies honoring all of our Great Lakes Scholars. We’ll post our 2012 schedule once the dates have been finalized.
