Well today I got up at the ungodly hour of 5am to get ready to volunteer up at CrossIron Mills in Balzac for 8:30am.
I had heard on the radio earlier this week about a call for volunteers for the Prostrate Cancer Ball Hockey tournament. Since dad is a survivor I thought I would volunteer. Plus I thought it sounded like a lot of fun.
Besides getting a swag bag, a Tshirt and a good meal, I really had a wonderful time. If the sun would have come out and the wind would have stopped, it would have been a perfect day. I met a lot of great people and had fun watching the games.
