Second Annual Cory Moore Classic

Stuart, Iowa- The Cory Moore Classic is a charity basketball event developed to raise money for the Cory Moore Scholarship.  This commemorative event will be held in the Menlo gym on April 30 and May 1, 2010.

In 2005, Cory’s life was cut short in a tragic swimming accident and this event serves as a way for the West Central Valley community to keep his memory alive.

This year’s event features five Alumni basketball teams from Stuart and the surrounding communities.  Guthrie Center, Panorama and Nodaway Valley will be joining two WCV Alumni teams and the WCV Varsity on the court this year.

With construction of a new school taking place, this event will also be the last basketball games held in historic Menlo gym. This gives everyone a chance to watch a game where so many memories have been made!

Last year was the inaugural year for the Cory Moore Classic and it turned out to be a great event.  Enough money was raised to fund the first Cory Moore Scholarship, and give a WCV Senior a better opportunity to further their education.  This year, with additional help from the Dexter Sons of The American Legion, there will be two scholarship opportunities offered up through the Dollars for Scholars foundation.

The games will begin at 6, 7 and 8 PM Friday April 30th and Saturday May 1st.  Please feel free to make donations to the Cory Moore Scholarship through First State Bank in Stuart.  For additional information please contact Chris Mars at 515.468.8323

We’ll be filming our first Ruby’s commercial so be sure to look pretty!

And making my windshield look like a battle scene in Lord of the Rings.

They smell and taste bad though. My cats have even figured this out.

I can’t even walk out my back door right now or 500 of these things will come in the house. It almost makes me yearn for the boxelder bug days.

The deadline to join a team is this Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 11:59PM.

My team name is Ruby’s for Boobies.

We’re down to two cops. Does that have anything to do with it? I say we hire this girl.

I’m taking a mini-vacation on Thursday. I’ll be back Sunday night with a new trip diary for both of you who are still interested.

…and me. After months and months of anguish, I finally turned 30 today. But please don’t send gifts. Instead, I’m asking everyone to make a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation here. Or better yet, join my team and do the run/walk with us on October 24th.
