Where: Bishop City Park

Cost:

  • One, 30 minute lesson = $40.00

  • Three, 30 minute lessons = $110.00
  • Four, 30 minute lessons = $140.00
I will not be able to make it down due to the fact that my wife is due to have our first baby in the next few weeks.  I will be sending down Jason Olson (who most of you know) - who played in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and Kevin Tucker who played with me in college and then coached at the University of Kansas and the University of Nevada Reno. 

Other than the position of catcher, they will work with you on any skill you would like.  Jason will be conducting all of the pitching lessons along with some hitting, and Kevin will be conducting most of the hitting lessons with some fielding.

 
If you are interested in getting a workout in with one of our pro coaches please email me back or give me a call and we'll get you on the schedule. 
 
Thanks,

ESAS/Laws Museum: Drawing/Sketching Class

These classes are a fundraiser for the Laws Museum and Eastern Sierra Audubon.
 
Jack Laws is an artist and naturalist who works on preserving the Sierra. You can go to www.JohnMuirLaws.com to get more information about him. He is over here for 2 weeks doing classroom and teacher education in Alpine, Mono and Inyo counties which is being paid for by the Sierra Conservancy, Eastern Sierra Audubon and Sorensen's Resort of Hope Valley (Alpine county) and agreed to do this fundraiser on his free time and for no charge.
 
Jack was here 2 years ago and did a similar presentation for about 5 schools in Inyo county including Jill Killmont Boothe and Round Valley. This year, after presenting in Alpine county, he will start in upper Mono County and end up in Lone Pine!
 
This first class is great for all skill levels and ages, including children (he works with children of all ages). The second class is a more in depth look at color, drawing etc. but having seen this class taught before, it would work for the experienced or those just getting into art who want to know more about plein air, color mixing etc.
 
When: Sunday, Oct. 3 (2 sessions: morning & afternoon)
Where: Laws Museum
Cost:
  • One session - $65 ESAS/Laws Members, $84 non members
  • Both sessions: $100 ESAS/Laws Members, $150 non members
Questions: 760 872 7846, Pete Pumphrey pcpumphrey@schat.net, Roberta Lagomarsini rclagomarsini@schat.net .
