September Newsletter
A Special Message from your Special Olympics Director:

Here is September’s calendar.

As you can see tomorrow will be the LAST DAY of piloting golf. I do hope everyone enjoyed it and learned a great deal. Thank you to the coaches that stepped up to do it.

Once we have bowling secured we will let you all know. So please no calls, texts or email! We will send out information once we have it all completed. Thank you!

Again, we’d like to take this time to THANK ALL THE ATHLETES, VOLUNTEERS, CAREGIVERS, PARENTS, GUARDIANS for entrusting us with your athlete. This program would not be possible without YOU!

Sincerely,
Your Elko Area Directors
