The Special Olympic Spring Games are set for Friday at the Gehrig Johnson Athletic Complex. Over 250 Olympians have registered for the annual event. If you have never been to a Special Olympics event you don’t know what you are missing. I attended my first Special Olympics event 22 years ago and was very nervous about how to act around the athletes and what to do and what to say. But that one event got me hooked. I have been involved with the Area Management Team for Special Olympics since that time. It is one of the most rewarding things that I have ever been involved with. Our Philosophy is the event is a sport and we cover it that way. Not a News Feature story, but a true spoting event. The effort the Olympians put into the event, the sportsmanship they show, the smiles on their faces. it all makes it worth it. If you are looking for a rewarding few hours on Friday morning feel free to give me a call and let me know you would like to volunteer, I will find a job for you. It is something that you will not regret and I can guarantee that trying it once will get you hooked and you will be first in line to volunteer next year
