Brother Knights, our District Deputy, forwarded these emails, asking that we forward them to Council. If you are able to help I would encourage you to do so. I know every time I have done anything with the Special Olympics it is always very rewarding.
Subject: Special Olympics sSoftball Tournament
Could you please share this with your councils in the Springfield area?
Special Olympics will be holding their regional softball tournament in Springfield on Aug. 5, 2023, at Pythian Softball complex. The tournament in Springfield has an estimated attendance of 300 athletes and coaches.
We are needing help with providing the food or the funds to purchase the food. We also need volunteers to cook and serve 300 athletes and coaches a menu of hot dogs, chips, water, condiments, etc.
We have $100 from Hy-Vee to get us started.
We have a large grill for the day.
Researching we found we could get most of the food at Sams for $450.
Please call me and let me know as soon as possible how you can help with this event. (417) 880-4292
