Car club donates to gymnastics team

FALLBROOK — The Fallbrook Vintage Car Club recently donated money to the Fallbrook High School girls’ gymnastics team.

Four seasons ago, the team fielded a group of only eight gymnasts. In 2008 it fielded 32 and has qualified as a team for CIF – the first time in over a decade.

The team is looking to do the same this year.

The check will go toward the purchase of a new balance beam for the team gymnasium.
