SPECIAL OLYMPICS AND THE MI DRIVE

WASHINGTON - APRIL 17:  Members of the Knights...

     As our Palm Sunday weekend MI drive approaches, I ask you to consider the Special Olympics as your charity to support.  Here are some facts from Michigan Special Oympics.  Last year the Knights of Columbus councils in Michigan donated approximately $160,000 to the Special Olympics.  This money goes to assist the athletes in training and competition thoughout the year.  

     If your councils have trouble staffing shifts for the MI drive, contact your local S.O. Area Director for assistance.  They have management team, coaches and athletes who would be willing to help.  This will also give your council a chance to meet the athletes you help. 

     On June 3-5, 2010, we invite you to join us at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant for the State Special Olympic Summer Games.  Opening Ceremonies will be held June 3 at 7pm in Kelly Shorts Stadium.  Our State Officers and 4th Degree Color Corps will play a prominent part in these opening ceremonies.  This is a family event full of color and pagentry.  

     We hope to see you all there!

                  Timothy J. MacGraw, State Special Olympics Program Director
