Special Olympics

Dear Brothers,

The Knights of Columbus has a partnership with Special Olympics. Here are opportunities in our county.

The Special Olympics San Diego County Spring season is here!
We are currently recruiting volunteers for the many events. Opportunities are available on a first come, first serve basis. Please e-mail me and let me know which events or event you would like to assist with. Remember that all volunteers must register with us to volunteer at an event. When you respond, I will send a confirmation e-mail back to you confirming the event, time and location you will be helping us with!
I am also hoping that there are some of you who would like to be a LEAD on each of the categories. As the LEAD, you will be in charge of the volunteers for that position. We will give you a list of their names and the all duties associated with the position.
Thank you so much and please know that we appreciate all your support! If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me back, or contact me at the number below. I look forward to seeing you at our events!
