Note the
message from Mary Voelz, SO program coordinator at the YMCA in
Missoula
. Whether or
not you work directly in sports, this is our reason for being. As staff at
the state office level, we don’t often get to see the mission in action but Mary
gives us a glimpse – and what a great example it is. The simplicity of
Special Olympics powered by sport at its best.

Hey Dave &
Rise,
I wanted to share the exciting news! On Wednesday, we
played floor hockey with 10 Missoula Maulers and the head coach, Trevor.
24 athletes came out to play. We ran out of gloves and elbow pads.
Trevor and the players really seemed to have had a great
time. They gave us some useful tips & ideas. I
honestly think they will be back again! Laughter and cheers and loud stick
stomping filled the gym!
At 10:30 this morning, some of
the YMCA management staff are going to play a game! It is
spreading like wild fire, and I honestly think that there will come a day
when I will need another van full of equipment.
Thank
you so much for introducing our team to this sport. We will definitely see
you in Whitefish!
Sincerely,
Mary
