Daniel Merklinger from the Milwaukee Brewers, an "Athlete For Hope", visited our Gregory After School Program on Monday, December 19th. "Athletes For Hope" (AFH) is a non-profit organization founded in 2007 by a group of elite athletes who all share a common based bond which is a deep commitment to help others. Daniel Merklinger wanted to show his appreciation to all the men and women serving abroad by writing letters with children in his community. His visit was very special. He wanted to come and join our children in writing special holiday letters to the troops in appreciation for their sacrifices for our freedom. The event began with a self introduction and talking first about the significance of failing and then continuing to work hard to reach your goals.
Then followed an open discussion where our kids were able to ask the Pro some questions. From silly questions like "what is your favorite football team" , to more serious genuine questions like "At what age did you decide to become a professional baseball player" were asked by our children. The the conversation transitioned into how we should all be grateful for the troops serving in all the branches of our military. It was definitely a fun and educational experience.
The Boys & Girls Club of West Orange would like to thank Daniel Merklinger and Athletes For Hope for facilitating this session. It really did remind all of us of how incredibly grateful we are of every single one of our troops fighting for our country. We wish them and their families well during this season and look forward to their safe return to all of us here at home.
Excellent post man!
