Olympics Are Coming!
The Special Olympics that is. They will be held at UC Davis this Friday. One short mile from my house. So, guess what family is going to be volunteering? Yup, mine. Around November my husband was looking for a local “team building experience” for his department. Coincidentally, I had gotten an e-mail from my church that very day asking if anyone would be interested in volunteering at the Special Olympics at UC Davis in the summer. I told my husband about it right away and said what a great organization I feel they are and how lucky they’d be to volunteer for it. My husband brought it before his department and… not only did everyone in his own department want to participate, but almost the entire organization is now volunteering. My son isn’t much of a “community involvement enthusiast,” but I think even he understands what a wonderful opportunity this is to help others. Plus, we have the best job ever. We get to escort the athletes! I’m so thrilled. Check out their website, and please, take the “R Word Pledge.” Contrary to what people think, the Special Olympics aren’t just for people diagnosed with Down Syndrome. There’s a variety of differently abled athletes who gather together and compete. I’m thrilled we get to be a part of it on Friday. 2 comments from 2 users
