The world lost an incredible woman this week in Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She not only mothered five fantastic children who went on to dedicate their lives to public service, but she herself dedicated her life to serve those most overlooked in society. I could only hope to be a tenth of the woman she was! Her legacy lives on with the Special Olympics, which infinitely enriches the lives of the intellectually challenged.
Jeff & I are excited to participate in a Special Olympics Bowling Meet for the Heartland Area on August 22--next weekend. It's happening right in Peoria at the Landmark Lanes. I just spoke with the woman in charge of the event and she said there's a desperate need for more volunteers to help man each lane the bowlers will be playing on. They'd love to provide a positive and safe experience for all participants and without enough volunteers they just can't pull it off!
If you'd like more information on volunteering you can contact Katie Herriott at 888-2551. Lunch and T-shirts will be provided. Hope to see you there!
