We’ve been having a lot of screenings lately of the documentary. Eventually, we’ll post it on the website but for now, enjoy this video. It highlights some of our experiences along the road.

2 More Days

It’s hard to believe that we are actually leaving in 2 days for our month long journey. We spent all day trying to learn the ins and outs of the RV. Needless to say, we are still learning. We’ll figure it out though, no worries. We also have some good news to share. We are officially The Call to Serve ltd. now, which means we are recognized by the government and our non-profit paperwork is filed. It’s a big step in the right direction for The Call to Serve. We hope by next summer to be sending RV crews all across the country. Check out pictures from the day by clicking here. A big thanks goes out to my dad for helping us out today. Be sure to check out the pictures. Thanks.

1st Annual Kick for The Call..SUCCESS!!

Adam — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 22:55:33 +0000

After months of planning and changing the registration deadline 3 times, the 1st annual kickball tournament was a great success. We ended up having 8 teams and well over 90 people come out. The weather couldnt have been better, 80 degrees and sunny.
The tournament started off with a delicious breakfast courtesy of Dunkin Donuts and Trader Joes. We then went to pool play. 3 games for each team determined seeding. Top 4 teams advanced to the championship round. The first 4 teams eliminated from play were Chocolate Rain, Katies Kickball Crew, New Blazians, and the J-Birds. The 4 teams who moved onto to championship play were, Kicking & Screaming, Van Buron Boys, Rotary Westmoreland, and Jock Jams (best dressed team). Rotary Westmoreland (most hot-headed team, ha) was definitely playing to win and made quick work of Jocks Jams. Van Buron Boys’ all day comeback antics were not on their side as they were defeated by Kicking & Screaming in an epic battle. The stage was set for the championship game, Rotary Westmoreland versus Kicking & Screaming. After going back and forth for innings, Rotarys power house kickers were too much to handle for K&S. The final game ended in a 10-5 win for Rotary Westmoreland. We would like to congratulate Rotary on winning the tournament. Your title is up for grabs next year.
On behalf of the Call to Serve team, we would like to thank everyone who came out and supported our cause. It is greatly appreciated. For all of those who helped with behind the scenes stuff (food, drinks, clean up, etc.), we cannot THANK YOU enough.
We had a few pulled muscles, one bloody eye, many controversial calls, and a lot of sunburned skin ( I received word that Jonathan Pipes is stitched up and doing fine). All in all, the day was a great success and we hope to see all of you next year. Be sure to click PHOTOS at the top to see pictures from the tournament.
