Meet NFL hall of fame legend...Gale Sayers...

 I am going to be soooo tired! Like most Realtors that I know of, I usually don't get up too early in the morning.  I mean, if you are on Active Rain till the wee hours of the morning, how can you blame me?  Maybe I am stirring the pot here a little, and I might get a bunch of comments saying, NOT ME, NOT ME, I get up early, you are stereo typing!!

No really I am not, just stating the facts, and that includes myself.  But Monday, June 4th is going to be different.  I will have to be at Silverstone Golf Course in Las Vegas.  And no, my tee time is not at noon...I will have to be there at 5:30 AM!!!  Yikes.

But all for a good cause, and that is why I will sacrifice a few hours of sleep.  I will be volunteering at the 17th Annual Dickinson Golf Tournament.  The money raised will benefit Nevada Child Seekers.  You know who else will be there?  None other than famous Gale Sayers.  Yeah!  I am not the biggest football fan out there and he played football when I was running around in diapers, but still...isn't this way cool?  His autobiography, I Am Third, was made into an enormously popular and award-winning TV movie, Brian's Song. The movie captures Gale as gifted athlete, comeback player, leader, teammate and friend. In 2001, Disney remade the movie. 

I'll post pictures after the event.  I am so excited!  I think I will go to sleep NOW...uhmm, I am writing this Saturday night...that way I can wake up early....it will be so worth it!

Keep those comments coming, I welcome them, positive and negative...time to stir that pot!!

Playing golf and raising money for kids - that sounds like the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning!  The sacrafice may be great by getting there at 5:30 am - but it is great you are doing it for the team!  Way to go girl!   :-)
