Special Olympics Winter Ski Event

This year's Special Olympics Winter Ski Event will be held Sunday, February 13, at Snoqualmie Pas (approximate time will be from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm).

Now is the time to mark your calenders and let Tom Eckhart know how many in your family would be interested in volunteering for this event. This is a great activity for teenagers (and older). You don't need to be a skier to help, just old enough to do "whatever" competition or assist where required.

The Special Olympics will have up to 200 volunteers at this event. Last year, the BRC had more than 20 volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering for this year's event, please contact Tom Eckhart, and he will provide details on where to meet and how to car pool.

If you are planning to attend the ski fellowship this year, send an email to Scott East with as much information as you can now pin down, such as departure time on Tuesday afternoon, whether you can/want to drive or prefer to be a passenger, and when you plan to return on Wednesday, e.g., before breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch, at end of ski day. Carpools will be formed from the information received.
