Recently, when out
taking care of GCG.com
business, we came
across Jan. She was,
and currently continues,
to protest in front
of the business she
alleges owes her earned
wages and bonus
monies.
She has contacted the
Department of Labor
who is looking into this
matter on her behalf.  
She is claiming she isn't
the only ex-employee
with the same problem.
Our question to you is,
would you have the
gumption to put
yourself out on Madison
Avenue, for two weeks
to get your message
out? Jump into the
Discussion Board and
tell us what you would
do!
Granite City Jr. Warriors 11U will be hosting
open tryouts for the 2014 season

We are looking to build on a strong 7-7 season in 10U SWIBL
this year. During the 2013 season we played in three
competitive tournaments, two local and the third in South
Haven, Mississippi. We intend on playing in SWIBL’s fall ball
in 2013, practicing fall and winter with indoor training using
the best training equipment, video analysis and drills
available, and playing SWIBL 11U League in 2014. We will be
playing 6-8 competitive tournaments next year, with a couple
of those being out of town tournaments.

Tryouts are on Sunday August 11th from 1-3pm.
Please arrive 20 minutes prior to tryout start time for
registration.
Tryouts will be hosted at Jr. Warriors Field at America’s
Central Port (Old Melvin Price Army Depot),
1635 West 1st Street.

Please e-mail your intent to attend the tryouts to –

experience and positions played in your email.
