Greg Anderson invited me to participate in the annual event for the Crown Council. He purchased 200 RedRubberBalls/RRBs for the attendees! We raised money for the Smiles for Life Foundation and we raised money for a great youth empowerment program - LEAP Foundation! (note: we raised enough $ to get the co-founder of the LEAP Foundation, who also shares his dental expertise on network TV programs, to agree to shave off his “beautiful coif of hair” - thanks Dr. Bill Dorfman!)
Well, those same RRBs wreaked havoc throughout the Vegas airport TSA stations! Here’s a great RRB story that Greg forwarded to me from an attendee: Dr. Chris Hammond.

Subject: Breaking News: Red Balls Create Chaos at Las Vegas Airport

True Story….
Coming home from the Annual Event I carefully packed my Red Rubber Ball (Thanks Kevin!) in a paper shopping bag…..all by itself.  It went on the conveyor belt and through security.  When I reached the other side of security and began to gather my belongings off the conveyor belt I reached for the bag with the ball in it…..the bag was there but NO RUBBER BALL!  It had become stuck inside the x-ray scanner!
“I’m missing something”  I asked the security guard.
“What?” He asked
“My red rubber ball” I replied.
“You’re kidding right?” He asked. 
“No…...Why?”  I inquired.
“We’ve been dealing with these red rubber balls all morning.” He said. “It seems like they’ve come out of no where!  We’re chasing them all over the place”
My team all started laughing.  He retrieved my ball…..I packed it up in the bag again….then looked across the 10 rows of security in time to see ANOTHER Red Rubber Ball being retrieved from the security station at the other end of the room.
Looks like the Crowns left their mark on Vegas….........

Greg also shared this note to me - PS:  TSA also wanted to know if there was anything in my bottle of Magic.  I told them yes. (duh)  Magic!
