Central Region Program Report

July 22, 2009

 

Dear Friends,

 

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. We already have some of our training clubs beginning practices, for a list of times and places please refer to the end of the program report because everything is listed below.

 

We have some upcoming events coming up in August which include the Fire Truck pull, a Cycling event and our Coaches Conference. You will find all the information on these items further on in the report.

 

Please don't forget that we have been asked to walk in the New York State parade again this year, so if you would like to reserve your tickets please just call the office at 473-2933 or send me an email and I will put some tickets on hold for you. There are only a couple more weeks until I have to turn in all the information.

 

ATTENTION!!

 

Add "Support Special Olympics" to Your Summer Grocery List"

Special Olympics New York Central Region is part of an exciting promotion with Village Market IGA and Bosco & Geers Market stroes across the Oswego area, DiOrio's IGA in Old Forge and Chantry's French Food Market in Utica.

 

Visit your neighborhood store through August 22nd and make a donation at checkout. Proceeds will support the Law Enforcement Torch run for Special Olympics in our local community, which will allow us to provide greater services and programs for our athletes and help us reach the other intellectually disabled children and adults in Central New York to bring them into the Special Olympics Family.

 

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me, thank you.

 

Sincerely,

Dear Friends,

 

This morning we kicked off our Pedals for Medals fundraiser. The bikers all met at the Skaneateles Community Center and drove up together to Saranac Lake where they will begin their ride through the North Country to Canton (Sean's old stomping grounds). They will spend the night there and ride through the back roads down to Watertown and the following day they will ride along Lake Ontario down to Oswego and to finish up the trip they will ride from Oswego to Skaneateles. Hopefully the weather holds out for them, it looks like it is going to be a beautiful weekend so if you are in the area look for our cyclists on the roads and show some support! If you are looking for more inofrmation on where the cyclisits will actually be throughout their travel you can go to www.pedalsformedals.org and there is a  map and cues that you can look at.

 

Just a reminder, don't forget about the COED Softball Tournament that will be taking place at Cayuga Lake and also there will be a Firetruck Pull in August on the 8th. It will be held at Casey park. For more information on these two events please contact Mike Murray at murry@copscare.org.

 

The time has come again for the New York State Fair and we have been asked to walk in the parade again. We will be walking in the opening day parade which is August 27th. There are a limited amount of parking tickets and tickets so if you are interested in walking in the parade please contact me and reserve your tickets. The tickets are mainly for the athletes but we will reserve tickets for escorts as well. You can reserve your tickets by either calling me at 473-2933 or emailing me at mquinn@nyso.org. All of Central Region is welcome so we hope to see you there.

 

To all the athletes and parents please be aware that our Fall Schedule will be posted online soon and you will no longer be receiving schedules in the mail. If you know someone who would like to receive the schedule online please let me know so I can put them on my distribution list, thank you.
