| Special Olympics 2004 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| The Special Olympics came to Worcester this year. Special Olympics are games for special ed kids who participate in baskeball, skiing, skating, bowling, among other sports. The Winter Games saw more than 1,400 volunteers who helped out as scorekeepers, escorts, referees, lackies, mules, crowd control, cheerleaders or at the reception desk. My 1st personal experience was very good, I have great memories from the weekend, making new friends (volunteers and athletes alike) and making fun of the old ones! Spending time with the athletes, clapping and cheering them on! If you ever have a chance to do it, it is well worth it, you will never forget it! |
