Save our field

It may not be common knowledge that we stand a chance of losing our beloved Lunt Field!

The GMLB executive board has decided to start a movement to make the local townspeople and interested parties aware of what could be a tremendous loss for the community of Greenfield, not just GMLB. The fields are used by many others during the year and GMLB has been a part of the Lunt field for over 51 years!

Many of the community youth have learned more than baseball at Lunt Field. Respect, Honor, Sportsmanship and Self Esteem are just a few of the invaluable life skills that have been happening through the tremendous support of mothers and fathers, grandparents and friends.

We also have a been the starting point for many ball players from Greenfield High School to Major League Baseball! There have been many contributions from many people in this community in ways they might not even know.

We are so appriciative of all the time and funds that everyone have given as well as the mentoring and extending of hands to help others up! You will see some new banners at the fields that simple say "SAVE OUR FIELDS" with the address of our website to give access to comments, questions and help.

We will be collecting signatures and money to support our cause in the near future and continuing to look for larger support thru other venues such as grants, foundations and corporate sponsors. 

If you want to get involved or help in anyway, please contact any board member or Thom Burden at audiothom@gmail.com or by phone at 413-824-1047.  

Thank you in advance for your support!
