After a busy week of marketing final and international business presentations some of us still had the energy to volunteer for the JCC Maccabi Games. The Olympic-style sports competition for Jewish athletes between the ages of twelve and sixteen was held in the San Diego area. Over 1600 athletes turned out to participate in the 14 sports and activities. These Jewish youngsters were competing in different age groups and playing levels, and the winners were given gold, silver, and bronze medals.
Fortunately, I was able to help out the tennis event and even though it got a little hectic at times it was great fun. I saw great tennis, emotions, sometimes-even tears but the sportsmanship these young kids portrayed was just amazing.
Although we were only a small group of the over 1000 volunteers but the effort we put into the event was definitely worth it, and our help was really needed and appreciated.
