Timber Rattlers announce host family program for 2010
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are in need of
caring families, couples, or individuals in the Fox Cities to join their Host
Family Program for the upcoming 2010 season. The goal of the program is to
provide players - who range in age from to 18- to 23-years old - with
pleasant and affordable housing during their stay in
Participants in the program receive tickets to
all Rattlers home games and are modestly compensated by the player staying with
them. Those who have participated in
the past have found the opportunity to experience the daily events that make up
the life of a minor league baseball player rewarding. There is no charge to a
host family involved in the program.
Ideal housing candidates must provide the player
his own bedroom. Players are responsible to provide their own food and
transportation.
If you and your family have an interest in this
program, the Rattlers would like to hear from you. Please send a letter to let
us know about your family and why you would like to take part in the Host Family
Program. Letters should be sent to Bob Estes at [email protected]
no later than Friday, February 5th.
Qualifying families will be contacted to arrange an in-home visit to
further discuss the guidelines of the program.
