The Minnesota Special Olympics Fall Games has been one of my favorite events that I have done throughout my reign. This was my second time volunteering at the games and I can't wait to do it again. This year I got to hand out the medals for softball and bocce ball. The smile on the athlete's faces when they received that medal after all of their hard work was priceless. I also ran into some people from my surrounding towns and one person that was a cousin of someone that I graduated with. I also got to see some athletes that I met last year but it was great to meet so many new athletes. It is incredible how small the world is but it is even more incredible what this organization offers for the athletes. It was great to see the fabulous Elizabeth Scipioni (a former Miss South Central) and her family, I owe you a big thank you for always keeping me in mind when it comes to volunteering for the games. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to work with this wonderful organization and to witness the impact it has on so many people's lives.
Love Always,
Lauren
