I am pleased to announce

that we have added a new

sport to our offerings.

Corn Toss. This sport will

run at the same time as

softball since it is part of

the EKS Games. The state

game will be held on Sun-

day September 14, 2014.

The coach for this sport is

a coach you might know

from basketball. Gary Nel-

son. He is also the one

that donated the corn toss

boards and bags for our

teams. I welcome him to

our big family. May he be

with us a long time.

New Sport!!!!!!

Hacienda Gives Back Fiesta

Our Hacienda Gives Back

Fiesta was such a great hit

that Hacienda said we

could do another. This one

will be held on Monday the

8th of September. The

tokens will be up on our

website, you can get them

from any of the Manage-

ment Team and there are a

set in this newsletter. We

did so well last time, lets

see if we can do as well or

better this time.

A note to all that bowling

will be starting up. We will

start bowling in Plymouth

at Quick’s Lanes on August

20th from 3:30pm EDT to

5:30 EDT. We will start

bowling in Knox at Bowla-

way lanes as soon as I can

get a time set, watch for

the call out email.

Athlete Story

Po. Box 605

Plymouth, In 46563

Created by the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation for the

Benefit of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities.

Marshall-Starke Special Olympics is a not-

for-profit organization that provides year-

round sports training and athletic competi-tion for children and adults with intellec-

tual disabilities. Marshall-Starke Special

Olympics is part of the international net-work of accredited Special Olympics Pro-

grams that reaches nearly 4 million ath-

letes with intellectual disabilities world-

wide.

Sport is a universal language that unites people on and off the field of play. Its

lessons are relevant to all. Using sports

training and athletic competition to help break down barriers that have historically

kept people apart, Marshall-Starke Special

Olympics promotes meaningful inclusion and acceptance for children and adults

with intellectual disabilities in Marshall

and Starke counties. These experiences ultimately create an inclusive environment

where everyone benefits and little by little,

the world changes. The sport is the me-dium, but the real power lies within the

Special Olympics experience and all the

people it touches.

Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave

in the attempt.
