Forward...

Grace has a CYO game tonight against St Rose in Massapequa... she'll have to miss her workout to do that. She missed last night's open gym with Glen Cove varsity coach Gus Sirakis so she could try out for Jazz Band, she plays tenor sax.... hope she did well and makes it! She did get to her Pro Hoops workout with Jay Hernandez after the try-out. That has been going extremely well, she likes all the girls and has been enjoying the experience tremendously! She's the youngest in the group and has to work very hard to keep up with the others, all very talented girls. Jay always keeps it very positive and you can see an improvement in her confidence already.

Friday she has CYO practice, Saturday she has a home game for CYO as well as a game at Northsport... at the same time. It's the only conflict this season so she'll have to figure out what she wants to do. Sunday she is doing a walk for Pancreatic Cancer Research at Jones Beach then attending a clinic at LuHi. Coach Slater was really nice to her at the Rose this past weekend, he talked to her a bit about what he was trying to accomplish and let her sit on the bench during the games. After the clinic we are going to check out the Alzheimer All-Star Classic girl's game at CW Post that raises money for the Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation. She also has a CYO game later Sunday night, luckily it's at home.... she will be tired.

On 10/21 GraceAnne will be walking yet again, this time raising money for Strides Against Breast Cancer. She is on a team with the National Junior Honor Society from Glen Cove's Finley Middle School. See what I started... I am very proud of GraceAnne and her level of community involvement.
