First, I would like to thank the following foosball player associations that ventured far and wide to join us in the 30th Annual North Carolina State Foosball Championships. Wind and Sea Surf and Foosball Club La Jolla, CA Minnesota Player Sean Harding Ozstar DeJourday Marcello Kollet Peter “The Room” Von Russom Ray Yomtob Association Quebec Babyfoot Players Montreal and Quebec Caroline Deschenes Michael Tremblay Pierre Garon Luc Tremblay Luc Flamand Benoit LaVoie Jean Pineault Marc Gilbert Jacksonville Table-Soccer Players Association Tyler Tornello Hugh Wintin Thanks go out to everyone that made this tournament a huge success for the YAHWEH Children’s Village. With the help from our sponsors, players, and table raffle we were able to raise $1700.00 for the YAHWEH Center. The founder and executive director, Mrs. Carla Roberts, was on hand to receive this amount for the foundation. Afterwards, she wanted me to express her gratitude for all of the hard work by the players. I want to thank the players that traveled from Canada for their very first Bonzini U.S.A. tournament. Michael Tremblay and Pierre Garon headed up a group of the most professional and energetic players that we have seen in a while. Truly a great group of people that are great ambassadors to the game. We look forward to working together in the future. The tournament room was fantastic and the player’s assistance to help run this event was greatly appreciated. Gloria Hiatt-Cribbs did the most incredible job running the charts and keeping everyone playing. Thanks again Gloria for your efforts. We’re still a little tired and I’ll post more comments about the tournament play later. Thanks to the following sponsors and individuals for their support: Steve Hebert- Owner of Breaktime Billiards and a good friend that is always there to support our players. Duckie Garner- Promotions director for Southland Amusement and fundraiser.
