    (5) TAA has received the support from enthusiastic people for this program. They will use

          the TAA GWC to allocate funds to families who help those two young baseball players

          to subsidize their meal expenses by $500 to cover some expenses.

Some players have to borrow money to buy airfare tickets before they can come to the United States for training, but after returning to Taiwan, they can do much to participate in the professional baseball or national team to contribute to Taiwan. There is a great need for strong assistance from our local residents. If you are interested in supporting those Taiwan baseball Players.  Please contact the TAA GWC Association (443-326-0185) or  (410-591-4969).
