Volleyball Player Headed to Scotland

Jenna Stock, last year's Queen at Volleyball World, has been given the opportunity to play volleyball in Scotland. She will be representing the USA in the 2009 Scottish Open Volleyball Tournament. The tournament is slated to take place May 18-26, 2009. She was selected as one of only ten players across America to be invited to participate on the USA Athletes International Volleyball Team. Jenna Stock and Josh Huntley won first place in our King and Queen Volleyball Tournament last August.
She has to raise $3,893.00 to make this once in a lifetime opportunity possible. A donation of any kind would be greatly appreciated by Jenna. You can donate online at usaai.org/donate/jennastock. You can also mail donations to Jenna Stock, 133 State Hwy. 10-A Johnstown, NY 12095. Your donation is tax-deductible.
We are very proud to have one of our champions representing Volleyball World on the other side of the pond.
