North Area Special Olympics Golf 2012. We are looking forward to Monday 11 June 2012 at Swan Lakes at 5 PM and every Monday thereafter. 2011 Golf Championship was a great success and I hope everyone had fun. Keep in mind that we can still use athletes and partner golfers for this year
Bowling:
Area Bowling and Volleyball for State Games "Snowball Classic 2012" was a huge success. Congratulations to all that participated. Great job and hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
Misplaced Bowling started 3 October 2011. We will still be at the Syracuse Family Fun Center. This will be every Monday starting at 6:00 pm through 27 February 2012. We had almost 12 full teams for 2010/2011. We were short a couple of Unified Sports partners (peers) and athletes for bowling,so if you know someone that might be interested let me know or have them come to the bowling center. We can possibly accommodate a couple more teams if we can find partners and athletes. This is a fun league and a good evening out among friends and family. Call me with any questions. 801-628-1157 or leave a message at 801-593-8824
