World Baseball Challenge

The World Baseball Challenge is coming to Prince George again this July 2011.  Prince George hosted the WBC in 2009 with a very successful week of Baseball.  The event is hosted every 2 years.

Jim Swanson, Shawn Rice and Lori Wolfe explained to the Nechako Rotary Club this years highlights for the WBC with the Blue Jays being major sponsors this year.

Cuba is the number one team in this league and they have recently announced their commitment to come to Prince George as part of the games.

In 2009, the three Rotary Clubs in Prince George sponsored the 4 day Kids Training Camp and now have first right of refusal to retain this sponsorship in Prince George.

Lori Wolfe has been brought into the WBC program in Prince George to provide the overall directorship for the Kids Camp.  Lori is very optimistic that this years Kids Camp will be even bigger and better than last years program.  Lori indicated they already have 70 kids signed up for the 4 day camp scheduled for July 3rd through July 6th.

The WBC is once again looking to Rotary in Prince George to provide sponsorship in this Kids Camp.

The WBC representatives were thanked by President Elect Kelly Zammit, with a donation to our Polio Plus Program.
