January 30 The RingerOn Monday, January 2nd, the Sauk County Special Olympians, Coaches and caregivers went to a special viewing of "The Ringer" starring Johnny Knoxville. We were the only ones in the theatre as Desert Star Cinema in Lake Delton arranged for a special viewing (and a discount on admission) just for our group!
Our Review of the Movie...  It's very funny. REALITY CHECK - Athletes don't arrive at competitions in black limos - no matter how good they are!  REALITY CHECK - With all the paperwork, time trials, and physicals that have to be done (and turned in in advance)... it isn't very likely that a "Ringer" could get in to any Special Olympic event. We liked seeing other Special Olympians as extras in the movie!
Special thanks to to the Desert Star Cinema for having a special showing just for our group. We had a great time. Your theatre is very beautiful and your staff is the greatest! Thank you again!!!

The donations were contributed through various fund-raiseres that the Harley Ladies did throughout the year. Donations help Special Olympians in being able to participate in the may sports offered to them. Sauk County Special Olympics greatly appreciated the generosity of this group. Pictured are Special Olympians: Bill Soetenga, Brian Wehman and Maggie Harrington. Presenting the check was Paulette (Tootie) Greenwood from the Harley Ladies to Debra Carroll, agency manager.

January 24 All New for 2006Welcome to the new Sauk County Special Olympics Blog!
As you may have noticed, our name has changed slightly. We've transformed from the Sauk Co. ARC Special Olympics to Sauk County Special Olympics. It's not really too much different, but it is easier to say (a little quicker to type) and we still remain as Agency 6-52.
Our e-mail address has changed too. It is now saukcountyspecialolympics@msn.com. Please update your address books so we can keep you 'in-the-know' with updates. You can delete any links to the old BLOG since it will be discontinued as of Feb. 1st. You can view some of the 2005 entries by clicking on our Archives Link for January.
We will be adding some new features to our BLOG. There will be monthly birthday reports, player profiles, schedules and other related Special Olympic activities. Our Coaches have some wonderful things in store for the team this year, so be watching for updates!
Thanks for visiting! Feel free to e-mail us or leave comments. We would love to hear from you!  January BirthdaysThe January Birthday Report
