YEARS INVOLVED WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS: I’ve been involved in volunteering with Special Olympics for ten years.
WHAT IS YOUR VOLUNTEER POSITION: My position is as a scorekeeper for five-pin bowling on Thursday evenings.
HOW YOU BECAME INVOLVED: I became involved in Special Olympics when a friend, who was also a volunteer, asked if I would like to help out.
WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT VOLUNTEERING: I really enjoy meeting with my bowling team each week. As well as my own team, I’ve met many more people who have become friends. I think the Special Olympic bowlers have a great time, but I’m the one who gets great enjoyment every time we meet.
MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OR EVENT AS A VOLUNTEER: It’s so satisfying to see sixty-four bowlers having the time of their lives every Thursday evening.
