April 14 Meeting with Brad Park
Our Meeting. See Pictures in PHOTOS page
Our Hockey Night last night at Rohan Recreation Center was a BIG HIT!!
Yummy Ice Cream Sundaes for members followed by sharing some "Special" moments with our guests from Special Olympics and the cherry on top being an Evening with Hockey Great Brad Park.
Brad shared some fun stories, answered questions from our very knowledgeable members and signed autographs and took pictures. FUN Times....
Thanks Jackie Derry & Craig Costa out front greeting, our 50-50 guys Jack Cary & Paul Kane, our servers led by my wife Linda, Paul Spinetto, Bert Michaud, Tom Jeffrey and Jean Watson. You all really know how to "Scoop."
Plus Sue Cary who did double duty including giving our members an update of our Scholarship committee work, and Arlene Guba doing double time as our "roving interviewer" for Brad's Q&A. Backstage was Jerry Gerrits and Pete Grumbles posting up the audio and video for our enjoyment, with a side stage assist from Seth Canter. Richard Hoag got us off on the right foot with a prayer blessing and pledge. Then we ALL joined the Nation Singers in a rousing rendition of "Sweet Caroline." It WAS "So good, So good, So good...:)"
Our Special Olympics guests WOWED us with stories, hard-earned Gold Medals and info on how we can volunteer. We then presented them with our club donation of $1,000 in support of this wonderful cause. I'm a BIG fan and a 10 plus year volunteer and supporter. Founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver more than 50 years ago, Special Olympics brings confidence, dignity and encouragement through sports to people worldwide with intellectual disabilities. And the National Event coming this summer in Orlando is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience it in our backyard. More to follow...
Anyone interested in being a volunteer, please send me an email. We can coordinate an effort to do so.
Lastly, Brad Park, so ably guided by Len Hathaway was truly a Hall of Famer, sharing some good old time hockey stories, personal memories, answering our questions then meet and greet!! That was the cherry on top of a fantastic evening! HOCKEY NIGHT was a real WINNER. Thank you all for making it so...
Wishing you all a Blessed Easter and Happy Passover. Peace.
