If our community doesn't

raise $106,000 in the next few weeks for the Fayette Field of Hope, we

will have missed an incredible opportunity.

A prominent person - a

VERY prominent person - is tentatively scheduled to throw out the

first pitch at the field April 17. I can't tell you much about this

person for scheduling reasons, but he has ties to Major League Baseball

and national government affairs.

But that person's visit

to Fayette County is in danger, because organizers are worried it might

take longer to finish the fund-raising, putting opening day in jeopardy.

All the remaining bills need

to be paid up front, so if there's no money, the field won't

be finished in time.

If opening day is postponed,

I can almost guarantee you this prominent Very Special Guest will be unable

to fit Peachtree City back onto his schedule in the near future.

So get in gear, everybody.

Trust me, it'll be worth it. Write your checks to Fayette Field of

Hope and send it to the Bank of Georgia at 100 Westpark Dr., Peachtree

City, GA 30269.

Contributions are tax-deductible

since the Field of Hope is a 501(c)3, and if you want a receipt mailed
