Norwich, CT - The Connecticut Tigers of the New York-Penn League will hold a town-hall style forum on Saturday April 17, 2010 at the Holiday Inn in Norwich from 2:00- 3:30 P.M..
The forum will be a chance for fans and media to interact with members of the Tigers' front office and to ask questions or provide suggestions. In addition, the forum will allow the fans and media to get to know the staff in hopes of building a strong and lasting connection with the community.
"We're looking forward to giving our fans a chance to meet us and see what we're all about," said Tigers General Manager Andrew Weber. "We're also looking forward to hearing what they want to see at Dodd Stadium"
In addition, there will be a second town-hall style forum in the Mystic, Connecticut area prior to the start of the regular season, at a time and place to be determined.
The Connecticut Tigers pride themselves on being a valuable member of the community. Donations, mascot and player appearances, summer reading programs, baseball camps, and fundraising opportunities are just a few of the things the Tigers do to make a difference in the community.
