And That's A Wrap!!
Actually, it's a screw ball; and a few nutty buddy's, a whole lot of ice cream sandwiches and.. you get the picture.
Special Olympics Bahamas athletes and coaches (Nrw Providence) closed out their training seasons for a much needed summer break this past Saturday - June/13, and what a surprise ending. Along with the usual fun games, drinks and pizza, who showed up? The "ICE CREAM MAN". Nothing like your favorite ice cream treat to close out six months of running, jumping, throwing and rolling.
Thank You to everyone who supported our athletes and our programme for the first half of 2026.
NEXT UP? Our Annual Raffle/Grill/Fun Day Fund Raiser - August/15 at Stapledon School grounds.
ATAY TUNED?
