Stepping Up To The Plate

Our Annual Day at the Park with John Paull II Special Learning Center was held on April 17th. We have the students join us twice a year at the complex to play baseball and have lunch. Dan interviews two of our volunteers that help during the day. Kurt Poland, 15, who has been helping at this event since he was 11. Kurt talks about the joy and growth he’s received from participating. Andrew Huesgen, 12, volunteered for the first time at this event and he speaks about his experience. Dan also gets the perspective of a Berkshire Baseball & Softball Club parent, Pastor Megan Huesgen. She is a pastor at the Immanuel United Church of Christ and the 2019 recipient of the BCPS’s Life Improvement Ambassador award. She talks to Dan about her thoughts on the program, her connection with BCPS and her calling to the church.
