Erin Robinson, mother of Ada’s freshman volleyball player, Daicy Robinson, will be recognized at the game, scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Erin is currently winning her second battle with cancer. She has chosen the IBC Network Foundation, as recipient of the proceeds raised this year in coordination with this event. 

Proceeds will be raised through a t-shirt sale, gift baskets that will be raffled off at the game and other donations.

Review by Robert McCool
The book's title is all the introduction it needs. Anything more would be superfluous.

I waited over a year for this book to become available at my local library. There's a reason for that. It's that much in demand. Rightfully so.

There are books that are so perfect that I feel my ability to comment on them is inadequate to do them justice. “WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING” (Random House, IBSN 978-1-9848-2761-6) by Delia Owens, is such a book, a book about isolation and loneliness.
