The Rotary Club of Springfield Downtown is sponsoring a bus to the annual "Rotary Family Day at the Ball Park" on June 26 for the 1:10 p.m. game in St. Louis between the Cardinals and the Cubs.
 
The bus is full. Only Rotarians and friends who paid $30 to the Rotary Club of Springfield to reserve their seats may ride on the bus! Thanks to everyone who reserved a seat.
 
The bus will leave from the parking lot behind Macy's upper level (on the north side of Macy's) at White Oaks Mall in Springfield.
 
The bus will arrive at the White Oaks parking lot at 10:00 a.m. (Sunday, June 26)
 
No food or drinks (other than water) may brought onto the bus.
 
The bus will depart from Springfield for our trip to St. Louis at 10:30 a.m.
 
The bus will drop us off at Busch Stadium around noon.
 
The bus driver will tell us where we will be picked up after the game.
 
The bus will depart from the designated pick up spot one hour after game ends. For example, if the game ends at 5:00 p.m., then the bus would leave at 6:00 p.m. The actual bus departure time after the game is tentative. However, the decision was made to depart one hour after game the game ends to give fans time to return to the bus without rushing. 
 
The bus captain from the Rotary Club of Springfield will pass an envelope to collect contributions for a gratuity for the bus driver on the trip back.
 
We hope to see you on the bus and at the game! Thanks for supporting our literacy grant program.
