Knights and their spouses, children and friends will be awarding the medals to each of the athletes.  There will be two awards areas (indoors) and will require 15 volunteers during each shift. Assisting the athletes of the Special Olympics is entertaining and worthwhile as well as a very rewarding experience.

This can serve as one of your State Council Service Program Awards necessary for the council to be awarded the prestigious Star Council Award by the Supreme Council. The women are invited to help with the handling of the medals and ribbons and the children are invited to cheer for the athletes when they receive their awards.

Shifts:

SATURDAY, August 19
SHIFT #1    8 AM To 12:30 PM
SHIFT #2    12 Noon To 5 PM 

Feel free to work one shift or both shifts as you are able to work into your busy schedule. Any time that you can spend assisting the athletes of the Special Olympics is greatly appreciated.
