From January 8 to 14, Cottonwood held its annual gender doubles tournament. Thanks go to the weatherman, to Ernie Soczka and his tournament committee and to everyone who manned (and womanned) the food court (Mel and Penny Rinald, Roseann Soczka, Nadine and Robert Sutter, Neda Mead and Sherri Butler, Mary Park, Linda Dirksmeyer and Toni Reider, Susan Aparicio, Doug Page, Sue Thomas and Gail Osten, Mike Verrilli, all the bakers who contributed desserts and the other countless volunteers). A special thanks to Sarah and Kelz Kelzenberg for the lovely award certificates and to Cannon Hill for managing the seating.
