20th Anniversary of the Sandlot & TASK Field Dedication #CardsCare #TASK #STLSandLot

Thanks to Cardinals Care, FOX Sports Midwest, 20th Century FOX Home Entertainment, and the 20th Anniversary of the "Sandlot" a field was dedicated to some very special children in Fenton, Missouri. It was a morning I will never forget as Fredbird, the Fox Midwest Girls, and the staff of TASK all rallied around the children who were just smiling from ear to ear in anticipation of playing on the new baseball field! 

 David Mickey Evans (the Director) and Patrick Renna (Ham Porter), explained to those in attendance that the Sandlot was more than a baseball movie, it was a movie about friendship! Take a group of misfits, clean up an open lot, and all you need is a ball...it's where the real lessons in life were learned. The amazing thing about the "Sandlot," is that baseball was inclusive and allowed a kid with zero talent, to become legendary!

 "Your killing me Smalls," and "Play ball,"were quoted as Pat Renna played with his team. The score didn't matter, and no one cared that "typical rules," were not followed in this game. This baseball game was about inclusion, fun, and smiles. When a community rallies around children with physical and mental challenges, so that all can play; it was an honor to watch and enjoy this momentous occasion!

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the...
