Hello everybody!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 29th, will be our fourth week of Special Olympics bowling practice. At this stage, everybody seems to be improving, and it’s exciting to watch so many of our athletes working hard to get the best scores they can this year. Keep up the great work!

I also want to remind everyone about attendance. It’s very important that athletes attend enough games for us to establish an accurate bowling average to submit to the state for competition. Anyone who misses six or more games will unfortunately be disqualified from competition because we won’t have enough games to establish an accurate average.

Our Special Olympics bowling tournament will be held on Tuesday, November 3rd, at the bowling alley from 2:00–4:00 p.m. We’ll share any additional tournament information as we get closer to the date.

I’d also like everyone to mark their calendars for our Winter Banquet! It will be held on Sunday, November 22nd, at the Elks Lodge from noon to 3:00 p.m.

The banquet will be a potluck, similar to what we’ve done in the past. We haven’t decided on a theme yet, so stand by for more information on that.

I look forward to seeing everybody at bowling, the tournament, and our Winter Banquet!

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me or Claire Sylvain. We’ll be glad to answer any questions.
