| | Central Region Program Report December 17, 2009 | I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. As you all know, the winter games are quickly approaching. Please take the time to read an important message from the Vice President of Program, Steve Fuller, which can be found in the coaches corner. Friday, December 18th the Syracuse Crunch will be facing off against the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins. The Crunch have invited us to attend the game as a Special Olympics awareness night. In addition, they will be promoting the State Winter Games. The Game starts at 7:30 pm. Those of you who reserved tickets can pick them up at the will call window on the State Street side entrance. The holiday season is upon us and we have teamed up with Three Rivers Wreath Company to sell wreaths and partial benefits benefit Special Olympics. Every wreath sold $5 is donated to us. They are selling 22" double-sided fresh balsam wreaths with a 6-loop red velvet bow, pine cone clusters and red holly berries. If you would like to order one you can order online at www.3rwc.com or toll free at 888-934-5999. When you go to checkout, use promo code NYSO. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Darcie Henderson at dhenders@nyso.og. Special Olympics New York Winter games will be held in Syracuse this year.

We utilize rosters for many reasons such as keeping track of all of our athletes and what they are training in, medical information (if they are going to expire) and once they are entered into the system we are able to use the information to apply for grants, etc. They are very important so please turn them in as soon as possible.
