WHEN WE DROPPED OFF A PATCH OF DONATED CLOTHES TO THE SALVATION ARMY CHILDREN’S SHELTER WE KNEW WE WANTED TO DO MORE FOR THE KIDS AT THIS SHELTER. WE THOUGHT THAT WE COULD NURTURE THEM MORE EFFECTIVELY IF WE TOOK THEM TO A PLACE WHERE THEY COULD TRY SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING. A PLACE THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO GET AWAY AND ENJOY THEMSELVES. WE HAD SOME CONNECTIONS AT THE COLLEGE BASKETBALL EXPERIENCE AND THEY WERE WILLING TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS. THEY PROVIDED US WITH ABOUT 10 FREE PASSES FOR THE KIDS. ONE SHELTER WORKER AND SIX KIDS FROM SALVATION ARMY CHILDREN’S SHELTER MET US AT TH COLLEGE BASKETBALL EXPERIENCE. THE KIDS WHERE SHY AT FIRST BUT IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG FOR THEM START ASKING QUESTIONS, SMILING AND LAUGHING . ONE LITTLE BOY EVEN SAID IT WAS THE COOLEST. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GOOD DAY WITH LOTS OF GOOD JOBS, HIGH FIVES, AND A FEW SHOT POINTERS.
