Director's Corner

On Sunday, June 30th, Glenn Carr has scheduled our Bowie Baysox fundraiser.  Please see the flyer for details about start time, menu, ticket prices, and contact information.  Please place your order with Glenn by June 20th. This is a fun event, and attendance has grown every year.

After a long run as our primary fundraiser, we have decided that we will not conduct a golf tournament in 2013.  To replace this, we plan to have a bull roast at La Fountaine Bleue in Glen Burnie on Saturday, Sept 21, 2013, 6 - 11 pm.  Cost will be $40 per person  There will be a DJ, dancing, wheels of chance, 50-50, lots of good food.  Invite your friends!  Please see our Bull Roast flyer  for details.

Stream Energy, a Direct Selling Energy Company, is offering a Power Up program that can benefit Special Olympics AA County.  Please visit this web site to find out how you can "Support our organization simply by paying your electric bill" : Power Up!

For information about volunteer opportunities with our program, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Kyle Hines ( hineskyle@hotmail.com ).  Coaches and assistant coaches must be at least 18 years old, and must undergo a background check.  Volunteers who assist at events or practices may be younger than 18, but volunteers who are under 16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian.

We recently received an important message from Special Olympics Maryland.  Starting with this Sports season, 2012 - 2013, we transition to three 12 week training seasons for sports - Fall, Winter, and Spring.  Note that Tennis will be practicing and competing in both the Fall and the Spring seasons for this cycle, then become full time Spring season sport.  SOMD has decided to keep Powerlifting in the Fall Sports group.

To make information about our programs more available, we have added contact email addresses for our head coaches to each of the pages for our sports programs.

I wish to make athletes, parents, and caregivers aware that after discussions with Special Olympics, Inc., and Special Olympics North America, Special Olympics Maryland (SOMD) will be enforcing age group regulations for teams.  The age groupings that SOMD will use are  8 - 11, 12 - 15, 16 - 21, 22 - 39, 40 and over.  Additional groups may be possible in the 22 and over group,  depending on the numbers of adult participants.  The regulatory article, Article 1 of the Sports Rules is available on Special Olympics USA's web site.  See  Sports Rules, Article 1 for details (scroll down to Section H on page 7).  Note that SOMD has decided to subdivide the upper and lower age groupings for teams.  SOMD has an explanation of and the underlying rationale for the policy available on their web site.  See the Explanation and Rationale here.

For Facebook fans, we have a group in Facebook - Special Olympics Maryland, Anne Arundel County.  See our Facebook Page here.

If you have any questions about our program, feel free to contact me, via phone, fax, e-mail, or regular post, and I will respond as quickly as I can.
