    Softball Fund-raising

    This letter went out to Lady Techster softball supporters this week:


    Dear Friends of LA Tech Softball,
    As many of you are aware – and some of you might not be – the University and the Athletics Department have spent a considerable amount of time and money this summer making some much-needed improvements and renovations to the Lady Techster Softball Complex. In preparation for our school, community and program hosting the 2013 Western Athletic Conference Softball Tournament in just over 18 months, the University spent in excess of $125,000 this summer to make the following improvements to our facility:
    · Installation of a new sub-surface drainage system and improved irrigation on the field
    · Construction of a berm outside the field along first base and the right field line to prevent drainage issues in heavy rains
    · Renovations of both bullpens with installation of synthetic turf and new dirt work
    · Addition of synthetic turf (with LA Tech logo) behind home plate and in front of both dugouts
    · Installation of a new chain-link fence to replace the old wooden fence (pads will be installed on the outfield wall this month)
    · Design and installation (this month) of a bleacher wrap that will cover the outside of the existing stands and which graphically highlights some of the program’s top moments (NCAA, WCWS and WAC championships) as well as some of the top student-athletes of the past decade
    · Design and installation (next month) of a outfield fence wrap that will cover the outside of the existing fence and which graphically highlights some of the program’s top moments (NCAA, WCWS and WAC championships) as well as LA Tech’s three All-Americans
    · Addition of new infield dirt and professional leveling of the playing field
    This is the first phase of the preparations for the conference tournament. Plans for additional construction in the summer of 2012 are in the works, including the construction of a press box, renovations of the existing bleachers and possibly the construction of a new covered hitting facility.
    Lady Techster Softball has a long, proud tradition of excellence which includes three Women’s College World Series appearances, nine NCAA Tournaments and more than 1,000 wins. That success spans the last three decades, including recently capturing the program’s first WAC Tournament title (2008) and returning to the NCAA Tournament where we defeated SEC foe Auburn twice before falling to eventual national runner-up Texas A&M. It’s success like this that we want to continue to build upon.
    One of the biggest keys to recruiting top caliber student-athletes is improvement to our facility – much like what has been done this summer. There are a few smaller projects that we would like to tackle this fall in an effort to continue to improve the appearance of the Lady Techster Softball Complex, and we are asking for your help in raising the money necessary to accomplish these tasks. Below is a list of these projects and an estimate of what it will cost to complete each one of them. As you can see, some of these cost as little as a few hundred dollars and some cost a few thousand – but each one is vital to the continued upgrade of our facility.
    · Renovation of the interior of both dugouts ($1,800)
    · The purchase and installation of a new padding for the backstop behind home plate ($600)
    · The purchase and installation of an additional flagpole and banners of each of the WAC schools–these will be flown on game days in order of the current league standings ($1,200)
    · The purchase of paint for us to be able to paint the existing walkway that leads up to the bleachers and between the bleachers and the field of play ($250)
    All of these projects will greatly enhance the overall atmosphere and appearance of the Lady Techster Softball Complex and will help in the recruitment of our next class of student-athletes. If you would like to help in these endeavors, please send your contribution to:
    LA Tech Foundation-Softball
    P.O. Box 1190
    Ruston, LA 71273
    Thanks so much for your support of Louisiana Tech Athletics and Lady Techster Softball!
    Sincerely,
    Sarah Dawson
    Head Coach
    Lady Techsters Softball

    Re: Softball Fund-raising

    Tech continues to make improvements. We have a loooong way to go so let's keep it going. Got my emailed letter from softball yesterday morning and put the check in the mail in the afternoon.
