Hello Everyone,

I would to take a few moments to encourage you to sign up for this years food allergy walk in Seattle. My family and I have tons of fun attending and volunteering at the walks every year.

2011 Peanut-controlled zone Seattle Mariner and Tacoma Rainier games!
I know the snow is just now melting away. But spring training is in full swing down in sunny Arizona. Ah, sun! That means baseball season is not far away. Actually, it is only about a month away before the first pitch. So I wanted to let you know that tickets are on sale now for both the Seattle Mariners and Tacoma Rainiers 2011 peanut controlled games.

To order Mariner tickets simply go online to www.mariners.com/nopeanuts and choose the games you want to attend. As always, tickets are only $11! That is a great deal for a Mariner game and we have four dates (5/7, 6/4, 7/14, and 8/17) to choose from including two Saturday games. One Saturday game is even a day game which is one of our most common requests.

For Tacoma Rainier tickets, please call Ryan Latham at 253-722-1041. Cheney Stadium has gone through a major remodel this off season so come out and see what is new at this wonderful old ballpark. Our first game at Cheney Stadium this season is a Sunday day game (4/17) on the opening weekend of the stadium. Be one of the first to attend a game at the newly refurbished stadium. By the way, I did say "our first game at Cheney Stadium this season.". Yes, we do have a second game with the Rainiers in 2011 which is on June 22nd. That is new. Also new at Cheney Stadium this year, they will be asking anyone who buys tickets for the peanut controlled seating area to sign a waiver. I mention that so you are not caught off guard. Tickets for the Rainiers are $9.95 and include either a hot dog, chips, and soda or a souvenir item for those with food allergies who can't eat the food option. Just let Ryan know which package you need.

I hope to have a flyer soon for the Rainiers game. Once I do I will share it with all of you so you can print it out and have your doctors and allergists hang them up in their office or advertise anywhere you can think of for this. For the Mariner games, you can simply print out the website and hang that around to help get the word out about these options for families with food allergies. See you all at the ballpark.

Play ball!
