 Turkey Tourney Results Squash Pro Scott Denne says the Turkey Tourney on Nov. 22 was a great event with about 30 players coming out. Players from all standards competed in handicapped games with the players getting three matches and the highest scoring players winning the event. In the end Bud King looked like he was going to take away the 20 lb. bird, but junior Mike Niemann ended up with a good score against Gary Schell in the last round and took the turkey home much to his dad’s delight! Scott is looking forward to the next squash event at the M.A.C. which is the Top 16 invitational tournament. 2007 Charities After receiving nominations from members, the Charitable Society Committee met the first week of November to narrow the submissions to three. Because each nominated organization was so worthy, the committee had a hard time choosing only three. They tried to choose charities that would most directly benefit from the amount of funds the M.A.C. Charitable Society is able to donate at this time. The three chosen charities for 2007 are: Dream for a Day, Places for People and Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition. Click here for more about the 2007 charities.
