Season’s End - FRUIT BATS!
2007 Coed Softball - Recreational League (Madison MSCR)
We ended our 5th Coed Softball season with a 5-5 record and it was
another successful season with different players and fans alike. I have
enjoyed coaching this team since we began in 2002. You can find the
softball standings on the MSCR website at
http://mscr.org/working/Coed%20Friday%20Standings%2007.pdf - we are in
the Miami League.
Fans – thank you so much for coming out to watch – you may not realize,
but your presence gives the players a good feeling and gives us a sense
of pride. We look forward to seeing all of you again next year!
A special thanks to our sponsors – Bill’s Key Shop, Hamilton Relay, Swim
West and KleenMark (formerly Hoffman Chemicals). Their support greatly
enables us to play and represent the signing community of Madison/Dane
County!
Even though Coed Softball is over for 2007, I continue to look for
players for 2008. If you or someone you know is interested, please
email me at fruitytuity2002@xxxxxxxxxx We do need more Deaf and Hard of
Hearing men and women across Wisconsin to join coed softball, men’s
softball, women’s softball, coed volleyball and men’s basketball.
Soon – you will be reading about Fall Coed Volleyball teams – 2 (yes –
TWO) teams! Stay tuned.

Help Jess Weeden Compete in Taiwan
Who is Jess Weeden?
Jess Weeden is a Monroe High School freshman, who, at age 14, is one of
the youngest of 12 athletes on the National Deaf Swim Team.
She will spend the summer training for six days of competition in the
World Deaf Swimming Championships in Taipei, Taiwan August 11-18, 2007.
Jess needs your help. She needs to raise about four thousand dollars by
August for her expenses to travel to Taiwan. Unlike the hearing teams,
Deaf athletes do not receive any funding from the US Olympic Committee,
so each athlete must raise the money for their own costs.
To learn more about Jess, a bright and talented young athlete, and how
you can help, read her brochure at
http://www.wi-deaf.org/images/documents/JessWeeden.pdf
Help Jess represent the US in international competition in Taiwan this
summer!
