Beginning Friday, Feb. 8th, Snap Fitness in Reedsburg has arranged for a special workout time for our Athletes. It's a great opportunity to get ready for Athletic Events or to stay in shape in the off season.  

• Time:   3 - 4 pm on Fridays
• VARC will drop Athletes off at Snap Fitness
• Transportation home will be up to the Athletes' Families/Caregivers (Just like bowling)
• Cost $3.00 per session
• Bring a clean, dry pair of tennis shoes to wear while working out - street shoes are not allowed on or around the machines

*** All visits to Snap Fitness will be supervised. Athletes who are having any health problems need to be cleared by the doctor before engaging in any Special Olympic Event or Workout. ***

If you have any questions, contact Coach Deb at 986-2719, Coach Marie at  986-6702, or Nancie at 524-2879. 

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007           Brewster's Lanes  Reedsburg. WI

The evening began with a welcome from Coach Deb and the athletes  then made their way through the potluck buffet line. After eating, Coach Marie awarded medals to our State Bowlers, Josh Walsh, Shawn Neisses, Patty McGilvra and Serene Zwettler.

Elf Patrick Drake helped Coach Deb draw the names for our Holiday Raffle. Over 50 amazing prizes were donated by our wonderful Sponsors. We had some pretty happy (and very lucky) winners!

Thanks to all who sold or purchased tickets. Many thanks to our sponsors who donated prizes. We couldn't have done it without you!
