A t-shirt and donuts

RVers can always use another t-shirt so when George and I were asked to help out the brother-in-law of my son-in-law we said yes. Athan was having a tournament at his miniature golf course, ParTee Golf, in Baltimore.

The Tournament of Tees would not only raise money for the Kennedy-Krieger Institute to benefit children with cerebral palsy and spinal bifida, the two top scorers would go on to the National Harris Miniature Golf Finals in October in Clarks Summit, PA for $10,000 in prize money.

It was a gorgeous day. We were given our t-shirts and assigned a hole to judge. Athan went over the rules. Our main job would be to verify that each golfer had written down the correct score for our hole. We then got our "bonus pay:" coffee and delicious donuts!

We had 41 golfers, including a young man with spina bifida who played from his wheelchair. At the end, door prizes were done and prizes were awarded. Two tied for first place with scores of 44 and will go to the finals in October with their expenses paid by ParTee Golf.

We don't mind gigs like this now and then. It wasn't much pay for a morning's work, but we helped a worthy cause and it was more fun than work. I'll rotate my new t-shirt into my collection and faze out a stained one. After all, RVers only have so much space. Jaimie
