YEARS INVOLVED WITH SPECIAL OLYMPICS: Almost one.
WHAT IS YOUR VOLUNTEER POSITION: Treasurer.
HOW DID YOU BECOME INVOLVED: My friend Chris Little has volunteered for a number of years as a coach and always spoke highly of Special Olympics. I’d been asked a few times to help out as a volunteer and thought it high time I said “yes”.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT VOLUNTEERING: I like the wide variety of people that I meet and work with. The effort, commitment and enthusiasm that others put into their volunteer efforts inspires me to try just a little bit harder.
MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OR EVENT AS A VOLUNTEER: Maybe the first event I went to, before I was even officially on-board. The end of year volunteer banquet was my first opportunity to meet some of the board members, other volunteers and athletes. The whole evening gave me a good hint that I was going to be kept hopping!
