El Toro Project
Morgan Hill Pony Baseball (MHPB) is in need of your support, help and
volunteerism.

MHPB has a huge project that requires our communities help. The league is losing its Shetland, Pinto and Bronco fields at the former Burnett school location. We have been given approval to build new fields at El Toro School. We have a profesional landscaper with plans and the ability to coordinate the job, however we need more volunteers with all different type of skill sets.

Here is a list of the different types of skills we need; carpenter,
concrete finisher, driver, field engineer, fencing, tractor operator,
painter, pipe fitter, welder, jack of all trades and laborer.

This project will not get off the ground until we have the number of
volunteers needed. We need over 100 volunteers to get this project done.
The time needed is one weekend 10hrs each day, we are shooting for a
weekend in March if we can get the volunteers committed.

If you can volunteer your time, equipment or materials please contact any Morgan Hill Pony Baseball Board Member. Go to www.mhpb.org/board.htm for the list of board members and emails, or send an email to board@mhpb.org or
fields@mhpb.org.
