The 76th day of 2017 was not just St. Patrick's Day. 3/17/17 was the 13th Annual OMAYSC Celebrity Gym Night. And, after a long, but great, day at work, I dragged myself to the Oaklyn Gym for this event. Yes, I was tired, but this event is an annual event and (I think) the kids really look forward to it. And this year's event was great. Thanks to a local connection, we had players from the Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Team and their acrobatic basketball skills were much appreciated. And they were joined, as always, by our members of the Oaklyn Police Department. Local professional athletes who care about the kids in their community plus local law enforcement showing the epitome of community policing plus a group of amazing 4th - 9th graders equals an event that inspires even the tired old guy who had a long week at work. Thank you Soul, Thank you OPD, and thank you OMAYSC.
