Blazers Team with Perkins Center on MLK Day
JACKSON, Miss. - The Lady Blazer softball squad once again participated in the Martin Luther King Day activities this past Monday by taking time out of their busy schedules to help those in the community. The players, led by Head Coach Rick Fremin, worked with the Perkins Center throughout the day in south Jackson. Together, those involved worked to beautify the area by picking up debris, raking up loose leaves and landscaping the facility. “The players look forward to this event each year as a way of give back," said Rick Fremin.
Lady Blazers
Make Mustard Seed "Home Team"
Joel Thornton Jackson, Miss., On Thursday, September 13, 2007, the Belhaven College Softball team went to The Mustard Seed, which is located in Brandon, MS. The Mustard Seed is a Christian based organization for mentally disabled adults that cannot live on their own. While visiting, the Lady Blazers spent time with these men and women playing games and dancing. One of the ways that money is brought into the organization is by the pottery they make. Many of the adults painted dinner wear and Christmas ornaments that are sold in their gift shop. The day was filled with fun and laughter. Bonds were built between the Lady Blazers and members of the Mustard Seed community. Some even gave players their addresses in hopes of continuing their relationship. There was such a bond that the Lady Blazer Softball team decided to make The Mustard Seed their “Home Team.”
