2010 Blue Ball Open A Chilling Experience

This year’s Blue Ball Open proved to be another successful, if short, annual GCHA event, detailed in story and photos.


challenge

Thanks to those who have already contributed, we're nearly 1/2 of the way to getting the Glenn Laque Challenge Court built.  (see list below) 

For those yet to do so, get it done! What are you waiting for?


Glenn Laque Challenge Court Campaign

We lost a good guy, Glenn Laque, on July 15, 2008 due to brain cancer.  To honor his exemplary “body of life” and particularly his participation, support and love of Handball, the family, friends and admirers of Glenn will build a Glenn Laque 3-wall handball “Challenge Court” at Veterans Park.  Tentative ground breaking is planned for Fall 2009.  Follow these links for more information and a list of current donors
