2010 National Special Olympic Summer Games

The 2010 National Special Olympic Summer Games, taking place in Nebraska this year, are wrapping up this week. Over 3000 Special Olympic athletes from all over the country are participating in this year's Summer Games. These athletes participate in aquatics, basketball, bocce, flag football, volleyball, softball, golf, rhythmic gymnastics, tennis, track, soccer, and bowling. The Games started last week and will finish tomorrow, Friday, July 23. Franklin County Special Olympics has four athletes participating this year in bowling, softball, and volleyball. What a great accomplishment, congratulations to those athletes and their coaches!

The USA Special Olympics are doing their part to "go green" this year. Here are some of the ways in which they are helping to protect our environment:

-Using local warehouse space to cut down on fuel and the transportation of materials from long distances.

-Limiting the use of paper materials and utilizing other forms of communication. For example, the volunteer process is conducted entirely online.

-Using environment friendly materials where possible. All of the 8000 volunteers' shirts are made of organic material and when printing is necessary, the use of double-sided prints and organic paper is implemented.

-The Games Organizing Committee currently recycles materials such as paper, plastic and aluminum.

-Recycling bins will be at every venue throughout the Games.
