Community Gathers to Celebrate the Lives of David Hodgin and Al Rogers
|
During the 39th Annual Northwest Junior Jamboree in March, family, friends and fellow officials gathered to celebrate the impact two men had on the game of volleyball in Central and Eastern Washington. The evening was an informal dinner gathering that allowed attendees to catch up and share memories of David and Al.
"The two men had a passion for volleyball - a passion for a sport and the people it drew until their last day."

MotorMVB expands education opportunities at colleges and universities so student-athletes can receive scholarships, compete on the court, get a college education, and grow as leaders.
"Volleyball people tend to be good people. Competitive volleyball players seem to develop into productive citizens, leaders and mentors. And the United States of America needs more leaders and more mentors. Ultimately, nothing is more important than nurturing the spirit and values of the young people of this country."
