From Taryn (Collins) Vaughn '90

Hello All! Things are going well here in Wisconsin! We added 18 chickens this year to our 3 cats, 1 dog and 3 children: Addison (1), Payton (6) and Rylie (9) (Pictured Left to Right). We love our fresh eggs! I am still helping run Wisconsin Ice Volleyball Club and very excited to get to coach my daughter in our Ice Chips program for youth. I am also the varsity coach for our high school. Family, Friends and Volleyball fill up my life-- the way it should be, right? I do find time to play in 2 tournaments a year, though- can't give it up! We built new sand courts, so hopefully my playing time will get to increase this year. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Molly Stark ('94) & Spiral Volleyball

From Molly . . .
This year I finally broke away from Arizona Juniors and started my own volleyball club - Spiral Volleyball. It's named after my fiance's company here in Chandler AZ. We aren't married yet with no date in sight but with everything that's going on, it's the last thing on my mind!! We have 5 teams - 18's, 17's, 16-1, 16-2, and 14's. Our 18's and 17's are ranked #1 and #3 overall in AZ and the 16-1's and 14's are #3 in each of their age groups. We have our own facility (the only club in AZ to have their own) and plan to move to a larger one next season!

Christi Girton Shindollar ('01) in Cincinnati

Christi & her husband, Matt, have had an interesting year. In June, Matt took a new job as Commodity Purchasing Manager with Smucker's so the Shindollars escaped Michigan and moved down to the Cincinnati area. Unfortunately it put Christi in the job market at a pretty bad time, but she feels as though the move was completely worth it. Matt loves his job and they both love the area. Plus they get to see Pat, Gretchen & Connor more often! :)

Included are pictures from a Monogram pre-football event.
