Pam | 93 comments So this just crossed my feed...and given the book choice this month I would be remiss if I didn't boost their signal.

The folks in Deepwood Dancers have been selected to represent Team USA in the Special Olympic for team dance. Only problem... they need help getting there. Special Olympics, in case you were not aware "a global movement of people creating a new world of inclusion and community, where every single person is accepted and welcomed, regardless of ability or disability. We are helping to make the world a better, healthier and more joyful place -- one athlete, one volunteer, one family member at a time." (https://www.specialolympics.org/about)

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, will be the host of the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games. The Games will be held 14 to 21 March in 2019. Still need to confirm, but some of the news articles around the group state that this is the first time that the games were in the Middle East. Which is also... awesome. https://fox8.com/2019/02/04/lake-coun...

If you could boost this signal within your own community that would be amazing. If you can help out in other ways, please do so.

Holly (goldikova) I have been a spectator at our state Special Olympics. This is such a wonderful opportunity for athletes to compete, learn and make friends; and a very worthy program to support.
