Participants of the EPOCH after school program and many of their parents
recently attended a Friday night Somerset Patriots’ baseball game in
Bridgewater NJ.
The departure from The Community House in Madison at 4:15 was smooth
and the group traveled in style in what turned out to be a brand new bus.
Once the gates to the stadium opened we quickly located the picnic tables
assigned to the Epoch group which were right along the left field foul line
with a great view of the field.
All the kids were super excited as we were escorted down to the field
where we gathered for pictures. A loud collective shriek was heard from all
when they noticed the personal greeting displayed on the large scoreboard
in center field - “SOMERSET PATRIOTS WELCOME THE PARTICIPANTS
OF THE EPOCH AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM OF MADISON NJ”.
A BBQ buffet followed and everyone enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, mac and
cheese and lots of cookies. Many went back for seconds!
Once the game started the kids were enthusiastically rooting when each
ball was hit but the real fun started between innings. Many knew the
different songs and singing artists that were designed to get the fans jazzed
up. And it certainly worked for our group as some of our kids broke into
dance moves to the rhythm of the songs. The highlight was the seventh
inning when the song YMCA came on and everyone in our group sang and
formed the letters “YMCA” in unison.
The home team won by a final score of 9-4 but the real victory was seeing
the energy and the smiles of all those that attended. Truly a great time was
had by all.

Congratulations to EPOCH for its recognition from both ARC and the State of NJ.
