PPPA – WEEKLY EMAIL BLAST


In this week's blast:





      PASSING OF LONG TIME PPPA MEMBER MR. JOHN BALL

    We just wanted to pass on to the membership that Mr. John Ball, a longtime member of PPPA, has passed. For those that remember John you know that he and his beloved dog "Boomer" would often come out to MVP to watch players play and catch up with friends. We would like to offer our deepest condolences to his family.
