Getting to Know Your Local Special Olympics

Please join us this Sunday, January 15 at 4pm at Midlothian High School for the Town Hall to introduce perspective Athletes and Volunteers to SOVA Area 6.

Over the past few months many people have submitted a volunteer form or expressed an interest in volunteering with Special Olympics Virginia. On Sunday January 15, 2012 we will host an public forum to talk about Special Olympics Virginia Area 6 (including Chesterfield, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent and Amelia counties) and how you or someone you know can get involved “as an athlete, a volunteer, or a sponsor/supporter”.

We invite everyone to attend, and if you like, bring a friend or family member. Volunteering together is more fun!

Here are some of the areas we will cover.
•What is “Special Olympics”?
•Who are “Special Olympics Athletes”?
•Who is eligible to be a “Special Olympics Athlete”?
•How is this program free to it’s Athletes and Volunteers?
•Where does the money to run the program come from?
•How can the program help you or someone you know?
•When and how can you or someone you know get involved as athlete, a volunteer or supporter?
•Why should you or someone you know get involved?
•How can the program change the lives of all those involved?
Attached is a flyer that provides additional details.
