Director's Corner
Hello everybody. I have been contacted by the
Cicso Center because they need our help so they can continue to offer
their services to our community. If you can help, please see their
flyer
concerning the loss of their facility to a fire in early February.
Our spring and winter sports are winding down, and our
summer season is nearly upon us. Five sports will be starting in
March. Also, we will be moving our Naval Academy games from April
to the first weekend in May, May 1 - 2.
For Facebook fans, we now have a group in Facebook -
Special Olympics Maryland, Anne Arundel County. Thanks to Nina
Marcellino for making the suggestion, then taking the lead in making
this happen. See our
Facebook
Page here.
The Young Athletes Program will continue this year.
On alternating Wednesdays, starting September 9th, from 4
pm to 5 pm at Ruth Eason School, this program offers training in basic
athletics, body awareness, and teamwork for children with special needs,
ages 3 - 6. Doctor's written permission is required in order to
participate, and a parent or adult care-giver must also be involved in
this program. Please contact our Special Olympics number
(410-923-0383) to obtain additional information, and leave a message.
Additional details are also available via email
jjank@aacps.org or by going to our
Forms page (link above).
The
50 Wishes Children's Charity Campaign
has chosen our program to be one of the beneficiaries of its fund
raising efforts, along with the Ronald McDonald House and the Make a
Wish Foundation. They will be holding another golf tournament this
year, the Children's Charity Golf Classic, on Friday, Sept. 3rd, at the
Compass Pointe Golf Course.
They are offering an "Early Birdie" special to encourage golfers to sign
up before March 30, 2010. Click here
to see their special Events web page, with links to their invitation and registration forms
for this event.
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.
