Everyone I asked thought it was a good idea. I thought it would be a great way for the kids to share their talents with the community, that could, over time, be a fundraiser for the organization.
We want the kids to be physically fit and learn good behavior, sportsmanship, respect for themselves and for others.
It has been wonderful having so many volunteers. Dana (Berger) has been just amazing at organizing the students.
Many people think that all the kids (in Incline) come from affluent families - which is not the case. This is a chance for kids from all different economic classes and ethnicities to integrate. Once children are playing together they forget their differences - and so do the adults.
Initially the idea was to give the kids that go home and watch TV after school something else to do.
