As most of you know, Webster Team is a big supporter of the Special Olympics. We try to provide volunteer time whenever they ask for it and even give them a few bucks now and then...

I just received an email from the Special Olympics of Kansas and was appalled at the message that Hollywood is presenting. Here is what the email said:

 "Dear Friend of Special Olympics Kansas:

Special Olympics Kansas invites you and your friends to be a fan of dignity and join us in a campaign to stop the use of the 'R-word.' This week, the film 'Tropic Thunder' opens in movie theaters across the nation. While intended to be a satire on Hollywood actors and producers, the film has a scene which is offensive and demeans people with intellectual disabilities.

Special Olympics Kansas is asking you to help us in this campaign by boycotting the film 'Tropic Thunder.' We need to make a statement to Hollywood that we will not stand for this type of content that is hurtful to people with intellectual disabilities.

In addition, I would ask that you share this email with your family and friends.

Be a fan of Dignity, don't say the R-word. Visit www.r-word.com."

I'm really disappointed that Hollywood thinks that this is appropriate to include in a movie and will not be seeing it in the theater or renting it.

I hope that you will join me in this fight for equality.

WOW! That is the best way to describe the feeling I had after leaving the Special Olympics Fall Classic Games. Webster Team Real Estate volunteered assistance with the bowling competition held at AMF College Lanes in Overland Park, Kansas.

The Olympic bowling athletes worked very hard to get to this point. After competing in many rounds of games throughout the year, they earned theirplacein the final phase of the Olympics. Each athlete deserved to be treated with respect and honor.

What a blast we all had! I have never seen so many people in one large area having so much fun and supporting each other. It did not matter which team or person was bowling, all of the contestants cheered and gave high fives to that bowler as they came off the lane.

In these games the athletes are all winners! After spending the day with them, I felt like a winner, too! What an amazing organization and wonderful group of volunteers!!

I would like to thank Crystal Webster for getting Webster Team Real Estate involved in this special event!
