Luscious Cookbook In Need of More Participants

Those unclaimed recipes are listed in the lobby also. When you email a recipe to Lynnette, please make sure you receive a return email acknowledging receipt of your recipe—if you don’t, please contact her. This will help catch errors.

CTW Softball Team Victorious! A Win for Mario!

The 2007 CTW softball team got its first win Thursday against Holland Free Methodist (HFM). It was more of a football score than a softball score with the final tally being 18-14.

CTW seemed to relax going into the final inning up 13-5, but quickly found themselves in trouble. HFM through some timely hitting had come back 13-11 with runners on third and second with 1 out. HFM scored on a fielders choice bringing the game within one with two outs and a runner on third. They then drove in the tying run and looked ready to go ahead when Steve Altman snagged a line drive headed for trouble and a certain defeat for CTW. It was the final out for the inning and stopped the bleeding. With extra innings before them, Steve Wing lead off with a triple and was eventually driven in to go up by one. CTW then proceeded to score three more runs with two outs. CTW held on for the win giving up only one run in HFM final at bat.

This was the first win of the season for CTW whose record is now 1-4 in its return to competive play for the first time in 5 years. CTW's softball team wanted this win as much for themselves as for Coach Mario Dominguez and his family. The team's prayers are with the Dominguez family as Mario undergoes surgery on his broken neck suffered this past week in an ATV accident.
