A little bird came flying in from the golf course a while ago so excited I could hardly understand what she had to say. "Calm down," I said, "I told you not to fly so close to the golfers, that a stray ball might hit you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," she tweeted, "I'm just excited about what I heard about First Tee of the Triad."
"You mean Greensboro Councilman Mike Barber's gig?" I asked. "Here, have some lemonade and cool your feathers."
"Yes," she sang, "First Tee has a program they call Second Swing where golfers can donate their old golf clubs and other golf gear and stuff."
"Really?" I asked.
"Really," she chirped. "It's tax deductible and everything."
"So what does First Tee of the Triad do with the donations they take in through their Second Swing program?" I asked "Do you like the lemonade?"
"Great lemonade," she fluttered. "They sell the stuff they take in and use 75% of the money to go towards the programming."
"You mean programming like teaching poor kids to play a game most will never be able to afford to play on their own?"
"Yes!" she chirped, "Isn't it exciting!"
"So what do they do with the other 25%?" I asked.
"Oh that," she said as she took to flight, "Mike Barber puts the other 25% in his pocket."
What can I say, my sources are birdies
