[Sportsandrec] FW: Goalball is here!!!!!

[Christella Garcia]

Thanks roger, BTW we had the first Sacramento goalball practice yesterday. 
It was a blast, or maybe I just got blasted with the ball.  Never the less, 
I am glad that this cool sport is back in the River city.  Joe worked really 
hard to coordinate with different organizations to bring it back.  We are 
looking forward to developing a program that will allow blind people to 
enjoy this awesome sport.  So anyone who is near by who wants to 
participate, please join us at are next practice.
Chris
