I know that this is not a Special Olympics item directly, but this is something we should all consider. After all, it is about allowing these athletes to do what they love doing. Please just take a look.

Uncle Bill is preparing his annual fund raiser for this year, and it is going to be a motorcycle ride. The plan is to get as many Athletes as we can at one of the stops so that they can meet the bikers. If you want to help, or you want to be at one of the stops to help with a meet and greet, please get a hold of Uncle Bill. He will be at swimming this year.

Swimming has started, and will be every Tuesday and Thursday. We need to be in the pool by 5:30 so please be there a little early. Uncle Bill will be there to help those athletes who want to learn how to swim, and Coach Jamie will be working with the athletes who are already strong swimmers. Can't wait to see you all there.
