I just want to update everyone on a few things. The governor has extended the Shelter in Place Order until June 1st at this point. This means our fields are CLOSED to us until this time. We have had a few incidents of our neighbors complaining about field use. I want to be clear on this point. If a single family, as in all persons live in the SAME home, going out to a field and throwing a ball around or even having some batting practice is fine. Keep in mind that batting practice is NOT allowed at any of the (3) Emmerich Fields unless one of your family members living in your home is a fully dressed catcher. THAT IS IT!!! If we have continued incidents the Park District will in fact close the Baseball Diamonds. Further our Use Permits depend on us following the guidelines of the Park District and we need to be sure we can renew each season without issues.
As an FYI Beverly Sussman, Village President, has issued an executive order on the use of Face Coverings. Please see this link for more information: https://www.vbg.org/cms/One.aspx…
