Conversation between me & Mark Monday night:
mk: What would you say about the opportunity to work at a one-day basketball clinic, as a volunteer assistant?
Mark: Man, that would be cool! Really? Awesome!! Can I do that?
mk: OK. Now, what would you say about the opportunity to work at a one-day basketball clinic, as a volunteer assistant, if the clinic was run by the Celtics?
Mark: (head exploded here.)
My friend Kimmie is a house parent and this year's summer events coordinator for Perkins School for the Blind. There won't be any definite answers until after the playoffs, but she's working to put together a basketball clinic for her students with the Boston Celtics, who go to the campus often for other events, including Read to Achieve. Perkins is one of the Celtics' partners this year in the Shamrock Foundation. One of the owners of the Celtics, Wyc Grousbeck, is very involved in Perkins. So this is a very real possibility for Mark.
Cool, eh? mk

That IS cool. I saw the Celtics play live only once during the Larry Bird/MJ era. I think it's great when pro athletes do events like this. Kids really appreciate and remember them.
