For the first time we are having a family table beside the registration table and near the Calista Cares table right inside the track.
We will have information and representation from Parent to Parent. A statewide resource for parents to connect with other parents who have children with a similar or the same condition. They can share resources and experiences to hopefully make it easier for everyone.
The Arc of Crawford County is cosponsoring the table by providing a snack to all who register. Special Olympics is giving those who register their email a wrist band and a family ribbon.
We are hoping this will begin to form a strong email communication network when there is a newsletter, event or change in practice schedules it can be quickly communicated to athletes and family members.
UPDATE on the day's events:
Pictured above is Calista at her table.
Calista Cares had a nice bake sale and her crafts for sale.
At the family table 12 people signed up for email notifications of events/practices and newsletters. Nice start for a new communication network. If you would like to be added email Donna Johnson Public Relations for Special Olympics and works at the Arc. dkjohnson222@windstream.net
