2010 SOSUNS Volunteers and Coaches Recognised
A fantastic night was enjoyed by Special Olympics Sydney Upper North Shore (SOSUNS) volunteers, coaches and supporters at the Avondale Golf Club recently. Great music from the Barker School Jazz Band, lovely food and drinks supplied by Avondale and inspirational company from the people who contribute to the success of SOSUNS contributed to an enjoyable evening where coaches and volunteers could be thanked in person.
Special Olympics Makes a Difference for Alistair
Recently I received the following letter from a mother of a Special Olympic athlete. This athlete, Alistair, represented NSW in the softball at the recent National Games in Adelaide.
‘Alistair had the best time in Adelaide at the 2010 Special Olympics National Games. Alistair came home a different young man. He is much more confident and his language has improved as he is concentrating on trying to be understood. Alistair is now saying his sentences much more clearly and they are sentences, not just one word answers.
