I have been personally involved with the National Football League players association since my playing days in 1981. This organization has evolved from a predominately players union rights advocacy group to what is new a powerful volunteer community social projects effort. The specific group is called the Former Players Committee and is headed by Cal Snowden. Former Redskins great Brigg Owens has been a force in establishing government and community partnerships with the DC Chapter. Projects include housing for wounded war veterans, high school essay scholarships and concussions/depression evaluations for retired players. Many other initiatives are evolving. See my recent tweet for video of our "Redskins Legends Meet and Greet" at the American Tap Room, Arlington VA, June 18th, featuring former greats Ron McDole, Clearance Vaughn, Virgil Seay, Larry Brown, Pat Fisher and many others.

The Frederick Keys are looking forward to an exciting and successful 2012 Campaign. Opening day was Friday, April6,at Grove Stadium-a breezy cool evening start. All sponsors were invited to another wonderful Matress Warehouse Club (mezzanine)buffet before game time where many new and renewed friendships took place.Frederick is a great town for a minor league team and stadium. The big hits this year are Ravens QB Joe Flacco's, brother, Mike Flacco, at first base and a new concession offering of a 3lb pretzel to be shared. Anew triple decker ham,swiss, tomato, lettuce and pickle sandwich is also in the offering, as well as a great new line up of fireworks nights. I will throw out the opening pitch as usual in late August. I want to see all those "grand slam smiles" at Grove Stadium this year, my 13th year as a sponsor!

New Smiles

When we complete an orthodontic case in my office, we allow our patients to show off their beautiful results. We video the patient stating their name and school, and then we zoom in on their new smile. The patient with the new smile loves it, and their friends and even family from out-of-state can see immediately the finished product.
