Our speaker last week were Victoria MacFarlane, who is the director of Special Olympics in Western Colorado, and Chris Guay, who is a long time participant in Special Olympics.
Special Olympics provides an opportunity for people with mental challenges to participate in competitive sports, which we all enjoy. Athletes range from 2 years old to people in their 80’s and 90’s. Chris has been competing for 27 years and has 40 medals to his name! There are more than 400 events in Colorado alone each year. Learn more at www.specialolympicscolorado.
President Jim has been in touch with Victoria to discuss how our Club can support her and the mission of Special Olympics.
