Lourdes Health Network Seeks Lourdes Memorabilia
Lourdes Health Network celebrated their 90th birthday in September and has gathered a group of dedicated associates and volunteers to design a history wall, as part of the year-long celebration.

Lourdes is looking for memorabilia donations for the display-anything from a pencil with the logo on it, to a 1920's-era physician's stethoscope, to an old hospital bill. Photographs and paper items are also welcome and can be scanned and returned upon request. For more information, please contact Michelle Tymecki at 509.546.2292.

Tri-City Dust Devils individual game tickets will be going on sale Friday, June 1st, at 9 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at the stadium box office, by phone at (509) 544-8789, online at http://www.dustdevilsbaseball.com/, or at any TicketsWest outlet. TicketsWest outlets in the Tri-Cities can be found at the Red Lion Hotels in Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland.

Opening Night at Dust Devils Stadium will be June 24th at 7:15 versus the Seattle Mariners-affiliate Everett AquaSox. The festivities will include a magnet schedule giveaway courtesy of Gesa Credit Union and a post-game fireworks show presented by Connell Oil. A large crowd is expected, so fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance.

Opening Night will also feature the debut of the $1.3 million sun shade, which will put every seat in the shade at game time and reduce temperatures by up to 20 degrees.

In addition, through advance ticket package sales, lower box seats are sold out for the 18 nights that are included in Dust Devils mini plans, such as Opening Night and the six other Fireworks Nights. With fewer seats available to walkup fans, purchasing tickets prior to the day of the game will be even more important in 2007.

"With the new sun shade and record crowds, we are looking forward to another fun and exciting summer of Dust Devils Baseball," says President/General Manager Brent Miles. "The 2007 season will indeed be 'Cooler than Ever!'"

Ticket prices remain unchanged from 2006 and are as follows: $9 for lower box, $6 for upper reserved, and $5 for general admission. Also, general admission tickets for seniors, children 12 and under, and military are $4.

The Dust Devils open the 2007 season at Vancouver on June 19th before returning home on the 24th. Season tickets, mini-plans, and group tickets are still on sale at the box office, by phone, and online. Plans start at just $30.

2007 Dust Devils Baseball is Cooler than Ever!"
