Dear Patricia,
I would like this letter to be read at the Gala in June in lue
of me being there. First of all I would like to thank Mr. Ralph Abbate and Ms. Patricia Aponte for opening communication with me.
I would like to thank Patricia, the Committee and
President of the Elmora Youth League for the generous invitation to the 50th Elmora Youth League Gala. I regret I can attend due to my age and
medical condition. I will be 92 on June 24th. Maybe I should have a gala too. Congratulations are in line for all present and past officers of the league for such an
outstanding job, the energy, the time, the effort and dedication to the children of Elmora. You have taken my vision and ran with it and could not be prouder of each and every one of
you. I never in my wildest dreams thought the league would have grown and flourished for 50 years and made it to The Little League World Series! I was so proud watching it,
congratulations to the coaches that took the kids that far. Well done!
All the youth that have participated in the Elmora Youth League over
the years have received an education on fair play and teamwork. I hope this education has guided them in their future as adults and parents.
I would like to thank all officers and parents who have given
so generously of their time and effort to help the youth.
I would like to thank you for admission into your Hall of
Fame, it is a great honor. I wish you all much success in the future, God Bless all of you and your children.
Thank You,
Gene Ahern
