>Hello everyone
>The staff of Special Olympics Georgia has once again asked the ham radio 
>community to come out and support their cause.  This time it is for the 
>annual Summer Games, which will be held on campus at Emory 
>University.  The mission of the Special Olympics is to provide year-round 
>sports training and athletic competition for all children and adults with 
>mental handicaps.  Our mission is to help them see these events through, 
>providing communications between the staff and all of the venues.  At the 
>same time, hams are a major part of the support that the athletes receive 
>when they come to enjoy the games.
>
>The dates are May the 31st through June the 2nd.  We need around 6 hams on 
>Friday (and hopefully a few more in the evening for the dance), 10 hams on 
>Saturday and 8 hams on Sunday.  We love when people can pull a whole 
>shift, but if you would like to volunteer for a certain part of a day 
>we're glad to work with you on that.  Some of the events include tennis, 
>swimming, track and field events and soccer.
>
>Meal passes are included for those who volunteer with us.  You will get to 
>work with people who are true professionals in what they do, and who 
>really appreciate what we do.  It's a great event and a very good 
>cause.  If you'd like to volunteer or have any questions, please contact 
>me and I'll be glad to talk with you.
