American visitor from JiminyWicket drops in at Graceville
Graceville Croquet Club welcomed James Creasey of Denver, Colorado, founder of JiminyWicket.org. His organisation brings croquet to seniors through high-school students.
isitor to our Club
This week our President, Michael, had the pleasure of meeting James Creasey from Denver, Colorado, USA.
James is in Australia to see family in Brisbane, to walk the Larapinta Trail in the Northern Territory and to play at Graceville Croquet Club.
James is the founder of JiminyWicket.org (well worth a look at this site).
JiminyWicket trains and equips high-school students to run their s.p.h. (Smiles per Hour) croquet program, an outing every two weeks for the residents of a local senior community. They believe in the power of play to create connection and well-being across the generations.
How inspiring is this!
We hope James has a wonderful holiday in Australia.
Michael also mentioned that James is pretty handy with a borrowed croquet mallet.
