a few years ago, some neighbours (who have since moved) and I organized the Vine Avenue Parkette basketball tournament for two years. We advertised in the Villager, got donations from Shoppers' and No Frills, and Vesuvio's, and organized 3-on-3 tournaments on a Saturday morning. The teenagers really enjoyed it, and one of them stopped me in the park and said how much he and his friends enjoyed it, and why don't we do it again?
It'sa great way to get to know the kids on a first-name basis, and do something for them. No one else seems to do anything for them, even their own parents, who are too busy to know what they are getting up to in the park.
They are a nice bunch of kids, really, they just need some......attention, and we need to get to know them better.
If others would like to pitch in, we could do it again. The last week in July would suit me best.
