By Soccer camp apology

An announcement in the Aug. 14 issue of the Town Crier about a Major League Soccer camp coming to Los Altos apparently caused some grief for the local AYSO region that hosted the camp. Unbeknown to the Town Crier, the camp had already filled up by the time the announcement ran in the paper. AYSO 43 Regional Commissioner Jane Lombard has issued the following apology to parents who called about the camp and were disappointed to learn they could not register their children: “We regret that we disappointed many potential attendees for the MLS camp the week of Aug. 19. The press release was submitted a couple of months ago as a follow-up of the initial announcement in July. Unfortunately, we had over 100 kids already by the time the press release (was) issued. We will be sponsoring a similar camp next year for the same week in August and hope that we can accommodate this enthusiasm.”

Softball anyone?

The Mountain View Recreation Division has openings for teams to fill remaining spots in its Friday night coed softball league. Cost is $240. The season includes six games, plus playoffs for the top four teams. For more information, call Hilary Kittoe at 903-6404.
