President Colton Lenzinger and Safety Officer Paul Wargolet enjoyed a special week at the Little League Baseball World Series where they represented Gull Lake Little League in receiving an award for safety awareness.
Gull Lake Little League was one of 10 leagues around the country that received honors in the A Safety Awareness Program (ASAP), which, according to Little League’s announcement of the winners, “recognizes leagues that go above beyond with their ASAP plans each year.”
