<br /> the South Bend East Side 12U Softball Team. We wish you more success in the coming years.
<br /> Signed this 10th day of December in the year 2018 in the City of South Bend, the County of St.
<br /> Joseph, in the State of Indiana. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
<br /> adoption by the South Bend Common Council and approval by the Mayor.
<br /> Dan Camacho, 53200 Ironwood Road, South Bend, IN, stated, Thank you very much. This is very
<br /> much appreciated. We couldn't have done it without the girls. They are the ones who played the
<br /> game. We just told them what to do. Did they listen? No, but they are twelve(12) year old girls so
<br /> what do you expect? It was an incredible run for the team. We have four(4) girls on the team from
<br /> last year that went to the World Series as well. So we made it again this year. Our goal was to win
<br /> the whole thing and we ran into a stumbling block. It was hot. It was one hundred and four (104)
<br /> degrees and was one hundred and twenty(120)degrees on-field temperature. We ran out of steam,
<br /> but I couldn't be any prouder. It was fun.
<br /> Gianna Camacho, 53200 Ironwood Road, South Bend, IN, stated, I'm one (1) of the four players
<br /> and this is my second (2"d) time going to the World Series. In 2017 when we went to the World
<br /> Series, we placed fourth (4th) place too. We lost to the World Series Champions by only four (4)
<br /> runs. It was a good run that year, too. We also went undefeated and won the State Championship
<br /> that year. So that makes two (2) undefeated State Championship years. I think I might love this
<br /> team more than the 2017 team. I'm friends with all of them and they are like family to me. Are
<br /> there any questions?
<br /> Council President Tim Scott opened the floor to questions and comments from Council Members.
<br /> Councilmember Regina Williams-Preston stated,Absolutely, congratulations. World Series?That
<br /> is phenomenal. We look forward to seeing the 2019 team. Anyone coming back for that? Some?
<br /> A few? Ok well for those of you moving on, way to go and congratulations. You leave quite a
<br /> legacy. For those who will be back next year, we look forward to seeing you here again and,
<br /> maybe, with the championship.
<br /> Councilmember Sharon L. McBride stated,Congratulations to the coaches and to the young ladies.
<br /> Wonderful job. I am a huge sports fan and coach, so this is always exciting. Thank you, Council
<br /> Members, for bringing forth this resolution. It is indeed an honor to see such young ladies play
<br /> with heart and team effort and to do it so gracefully and with a lot of fight. Congratulations to you
<br /> all.
<br /> Councilmember Jake Teshka stated, Congratulations to you ladies and coaches. It seems we were
<br /> just here honoring the boys, right? I don't know, we have to check the water in the east side here.
<br /> Congratulations and way to represent our City well.
<br /> Councilmember Oliver Davis stated, Congratulations in all that you will do. A special
<br /> congratulations to all the parents out there and all the sponsors. To raise $7,000 at the last minute
