Volunteers do everything there
is to do in Special Olympics and
more. They are fund-raisers and
cheerleaders, administrators and
food handlers, chauffeurs and
chaperones, trainers and coaches,
huggers and publicists, policymakers and trash collectors,
friends, comrades and supporters
of Special Olympians.
They serve without salary,
without recognition, without
honors or awards. And Special
Olympics could not do without
them - their devotion, their work
and their love.
So thank you, volunteers. You
represent the highest values of the
human spirit. And you get your
thanks, not in money or words of
praise, but through whar you do
for Special Olympics
For, as the poet E.A. Robinson
said, "There are two kinds of
gratitude; the sudden kind we feel
for what we take. The larger kind
we feel for what we give."
A n d that larger kind of
gratitude is what we feel for you!
So THANKS.

ODE TO A VOLUNTEER
(Author Unknown)
Many will be shocked to find
When the day of judgement nears
That a there's a special place in heaven
Set aside for volunteers,
Furnished with big recliners,
Satin couches and footstools,
Where there are no committee chairmen
No group leaders or car pools,
No eager team that needs a coach,
No bazaar and no bake sale.
There will be nothing to staple,
Not one thing to fold or mail.
Telephone lists will be outlawed,
But a fingersnap will bring
Cool drinks and gourmet dinners,
And rare treats fit for a king.
You ask, who'll serve these privileged few
And work for all they're worth!
Why all those who reaped the benefits,
And not those once volunteered on earth.

HALL OF FAME
MAX HAWK, Yankton
The doors of the National Hail of Fame opened on June 27, 1996,
and Max was inducted as a part of the inaugural class. Thirty veteran
coaches from across the United States now represent the greatest
of professions.
Criteria for selection into this distinguished group were years of
service; championship years; winning percentage; awards and honors;
and professional services.
"I was very honored and awed to be included with these great
people. It was a very humbling experience to be in the company of
so many of the nation's finest teachers."
