What's Red Zone?
Red Zone paddle tennis adds a way to win points by placing a target in the middle of the back screens. A team that hits the target gets the point.
What's Common Hope?
Learn more about the great work done by this organization by talking to Mary or Gary Doten, Doug Brown or Jane Veldman, all of whom have been to Guatemala to see Common Hope in action. Or look at http://commonhope.org/sponsorship/index.htm to see how sponsoring a child can make a big difference in the child's future at very little cost.
