Hi athletes and parents/guardians, this opportunity is a VERY helpful tool for the coaches to take the athletes forward in their sports. If you are interested, please review the links below and if you need assistance, give your coach a call and discuss it.
Special Olympics Athletes are needed for 2 hour shifts from 1 to 3 at Staples.
Staples support all the programs that we offer and as a result costs are kept to a minimum.
To volunteer contact Debbie Young (leave a comment here if you want her contact information).

Here are some highlights:
There are spaces available at 5 pin bowling.
If you have registered for a sport, attend or let the coach or Sylvia know they are not going to attend. Sports programs need to have enough athletes attending to make it worthwhile the cost to rent the gym.
Are you interested in Power Lifting? If you are please let Sylvia know ASAP! See contact details in the November newsletter.

There is a raise in fees this year because the lack of donations and money made from fund raisers. Special Olympics is a charitable organization supported only by the community. These prices still do not pay for the facilities the sports use. Hopefully we have a better year with raffle sales and help at the fundraisers we have. We get 10% of the donations Staples and JYSK make and they make more money when the athletes are helping at the stores.
