ABOUT OUR BEAR CLAW!
Native Americans use symbols & designs to represent specific ideas or cultural expressions. The bear is a powerful guardian; physical strength & leadership! The bear symbolizes sweetness of life and introspection. The bear claw was used to summon the power of the animal. The bear tracks can signify strength and well being, leadership and authority.

DUBBLE BUBBLE ® PROMOTED BY THE
LINCOLN-WAY PROSPECTS BASEBALL CLUB


LWP will launch a gumball promotion in January and February 2012 with Tootsie Roll Industries' Dubble Bubble ® Home Run brand.
Created in 1928 by Fleer Candy Company accountant Walter Diemer (he claims he stumbled upon the recipe by accident), the gum featured comic strip featuring brothers Dub and Bub (replaced in 1950 by Pud). It grew in popularity, and was even distributed as part of military rations during World War II. It also was part of the first-ever gum five-pack (1957). Dubble Bubble joined the Tootsie family in 2003, adding its standing as the world's favorite bubble gum brand to the world's favorite candy lineup. Players will compete on a team level to earn team and individual prizes for five weeks! Awesome!

GLIMPSE FROM THE PAST
ACADEMIC RBI T-SHIRT REWARDS


Pictured here is our 9U players and winter workout members with Coach Ron Dawson, who logs our report card grades. Our 2010 T-shirt was called Coach Dawson's Scorebook so we reinforce our leading, academic tradition with youth sports! Grade scorebook RBI style for A's and B's, just like RBI in baseball. Great report cards! 10U also earned their t-shirts. LWP will continue to promote education throughout 2012.



COMMUNITY SERVICE

Over the past few years, the Lincoln-Way Prospects entire organization has presented over 6,000 gifts to Children's Memorial Hospital. On December 3, 2011. The players will earn their level/rung distinction from the Character Nation student-athlete leadership program and add to those numbers. These continue to be the "stats" that matter.
