Before everyone gets down to competition, we had a little something to take care of... a baby shower for Jennifer Barretta. She is expecting a baby boy sometime before christmas.
|
After the festivities and the players meeting the players participated in the Pro-am, benifiting P.A.R.C the Peoria Area Retarded Citizens. As usual it was a successful event. Here is Tiffany Nelson giving tips on how to beat the "other guys".

And of course Vivian keeps the room hopping. Wow, she sure moves around!!!

You know, its not like having to play the best women players in the world isn't hard enough, but the job of a WPBA pro is never done. Look carefully, thats Darlene Stinson in the background having her picture taken for the 2007 media guide.
