LBC supported the Nelson Ranch Pétanque Club on June 23 in a benefit Carousel tournament to help raise funds to send junior member Amadeus Alejandro to the 17thJunior Triplets World Pétanque Championships to be held in November in Phnom Peng, Cambodia. Amadeus’s team mates are Noah Sonet from California and Parker Edwards from North Carolina. The team will be representing the USA against youngsters from all over the world. We are very proud of Amadeus and to have a representative from our area in the Junior World Championships.
The benefit was supported by players and contributors from clubs in Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. The money raised will help fund his trip, or as one person said fund his return trip. The weather became hot as did the play. The food was great as always! Winners received special commemorative medals.
The tournament winners were:
1st Place Amine Najah & Don Jansky
2nd Place Kathy Ragan & Olivier Simondet
3rd Place Edward Vaissiere & Christophe Chambers
Anyone wanting to help support Amadeus can send a check made out to Cindy Alejandro to Kathy Ragan 10503 Brannon Cove, Austin, TX 78759
