The Rotary Club of Ellsworth is hosting a fundraiser on May 17th at Big Cats Catering in Trenton Maine from 5-7 pm for the benefit of improvements needed at DeMeyer Field in Ellsworth Maine.  The Demeyer Field is used by the Little League, Challenger Little League, and the YMCA from April - October for various athletic programs. 
 
 The need for improvements is critical for the safety of the children and an improved family experience for all.  The project plans include a fenced playground area for siblings to use when the games are in progress, a fence along the pathway that connects the three fields that will aid in keeping children from using the busy road and repurposing the third field for multi-use multi age to include Little League, Farm League, Challenger Little League and to provide for future expanded Challenger programs, YMCA soccer and football programs.  Additional parking spaces are also planned along the renovated field to provide for a safer and convenient parking structure.  Currently the fields are right on the road and safety has been a concern for decades. 
 
The event is a fundraiser to include a live and silent auction.  The Rotary Club of Ellsworth in partnership with the Little League, Challenger Little League, Down East Family YMCA and the Ellsworth Recreation Committee are working collaboratively on the project.  
 
In 1974 the ballfields were donated by the Rotary Club of Ellsworth to the City of Ellsworth for the purpose of recreational programs and after 50 years TLC and redesign for today’s programs are needed. The event will likely have 250 people in attendance and the goal is to raise $50,000 - 100% of the proceeds will go to this worthy community project.   
 
Join us in making a positive impact for the families and youth in our community.
