Hope Civitans recently heard from 15-year-old Grace Trauger, pictured with Civitan President Amber Mackey.  Grace, who pitches for the Hope High School softball team, is currently raising money to travel to Sidney, Australia, to play with America’s Team at the Down Under Games in July 2023.   Recruited for the team by a coach at Louisiana Christian College, Grace needs to raise $7,000 by next March for the 10-day trip, which will include touring areas of Australia.  She described several avenues of effort she is undertaking to raise the money; more information can be found on Facebook.  The Hope Civitan Club meets at 6 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at Dos Loco Gringos Restaurant.  Interested persons are invited to attend any club meeting.
