ti <br /> Common <br /> South Bend t <br /> NEWS RELEASE <br /> Date: Monday, September 22, 2014 <br /> From: Council Member Henry Davis, Jr. Contact: 574-315-4112 <br /> 2nd District councilmandavis @gmail.com <br /> Councilman Henry Davis, Jr. honors two-time World Series Champions <br /> (South Bend, IN) -- Tonight at the South Bend Common Council meeting the two time <br /> World Series champs from Indiana's district 11 will be recognized for their <br /> accomplishments. The team will be in attendance for recognition from city leaders. The <br /> team has traveled across the country during their season to reclaim the title while <br /> representing the South Bend area in grand fashion. <br /> "This is a model for success. These families have sacrificed and invested in their <br /> children. We as policy makers should do the same. We should ensure funding for our <br /> community centers, after school programs and make sure that gyms are open during <br /> the evening and weekend hours at our local schools, However, we can also fight for <br /> families to have well-paying jobs and higher minimum wage", says Councilman Henry <br /> Davis, Jr. <br /> Clearly there is a huge financial sacrifice that comes with these opportunities which are <br /> in excess of$5,000.00 or more for some families. If South Bend works at making the <br /> children of this community a priority, we could have more World Series champions. <br /> District 11 is made up of area high school players from Saint Joseph and LaPorte <br /> counties. The young ladies will be accompanied by their parents, family and coaches at <br /> tonight's ceremony. <br />
