PPPA – WEEKLY EMAIL BLAST


In this week's blast:





     CAR BREAK-INS AT MVP COURTS

    Please be mindful while you are playing at MVP. There have been reports of several cars being broken into. There was not much detail as to whether the break-ins were in the parking lot or along the side by the railroad tracks. If youre planning to play for long periods, it would probably be beneficial to take a break and go check on your car. I know most players are playing for hours at a time which allows for any vandalism or car break-ins to occur. If you witness any suspicious activity taking place, please be cautious and contact the police.
