July 15 District Bocce ResultsJuly 12. 2008 Quincy Field Onalaska, WI
Opening ceremonies were at 9am., with competition beginning at 9:30. Five of our teams competed: The Chargers, Challengers, Country Folk, Exterminators, and Slammers. Unfortunately, our sixth team was unable to participate. With one teammate in the hospital (Feel better soon, Sandy!), another on vacation (unreachable by phone) and a no substitutions roster, they were unable to compete. The Avengers did a great job at practices and are a little dissappointed right now, but with good health and a little luck, they should be able to do well next year. We really missed them!

Great weather was a bonus for the appx. 200 Bocce players, Coaches, Volunteers, family members and friends that braved the road detours and $4+/gallon gas prices to attend our 2nd Bocce Invitational. Area 6 Agencys: Baraboo Special Olympics, Stoughton Special Olympics, LaCrosse Parks and Rec., and the ARC of Columbia County, joined our agency for the a day of fun and Bocce. It was great seeing all those friendly faces again!
The opening ceremonies began with our VFW Post 1916 Colorguard and national anthem, followed by a welcome from Regional Sports Director, Jon Janigo who acted as our Master of Ceremonies. Athletes Louie and Debbie of Columbia County recited the Special Olympic Oath and Jon made a special presentation to the Area 6 Male Athlete of the Year, Arnold Jesse (Sauk Co. 6-52). Click this link to see more about Arnold http://saukcountyspecialolympic.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!260F3D822453A082!968.entry .
Jon also recognized the 2008 Agency Manager of the Year, Helen Ziegler (Baraboo), who will receive her award at the Recognition Ceremony at Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI on June 28th. Then with loud cheering from the audience, Jon announced, "Let the games begin!"
After each team completed two games, we took a lunch break. Athletes had their choice of a Brat plate or Taco Salad plate, with chips, dessert and drink. After lunch, games resumed. Around 2:30pm., our visiting teams loaded into their vehicles and headed home.
Members of our team stayed to help with clean up.
We would like to thank all the Athletes, Coaches and Volunteers that attended! You helped make the day alot of fun! We hope you will keep us in mind for next year.
The athletes will be competing in District Competition in Onalaska, WI on July 12th.
A Note of Thanks
You've probably heard about how difficult it has been for the people in our area with the flooding and record rainfalls. Despite the hardship that the Reedsburg community has endured, we have received amazing support for our Athletes. In an average year, these people donate time, services, food, use of facilities for our Invitational - and that's going above and beyond! This year, with all of our challenges, those same people, though coping with situations of their own, still managed to make our Invitational a success simply because... the athletes are worth it!!!
The following people need to be recognized for putting Athletes first and going above and beyond to make this event happen:
June 17 Agency 6-52 Gives BackJune 8, 2008 Harley Davidson Facility, Mauston, WI
Every year the Castle Rock Harley Ladies donate funds to our agency. Those funds enable our athletes to compete in Regional and State Competitions and are greatly appreciated!
This year, thanks to a great suggestion by Tootie Greenwood, our agency had an opportunity to give back. Tootie works with many of our Athletes at VARC in Reedsburg. She mentioned that the Harley Davidson Riders were having a 105th Anniversary Celebration and needed some flyers and booklets packed into plastic bags to be given to people attending the event.
On Sunday, June 8th, seven athletes visited the Mauston facility and were treated to a pizza lunch as they helped the Castle Rock Harley Club pack bags for the event. Athletes attending were Toni Wagner, Pat Drake, Josh Kuhls, Merry Ann Johnson, Ted Stricker, Frank Gundlach and Nikki Cook.
The athletes enjoyed their time helping and were very impressed with the motorcycles that were being built in the shop.
Thanks go to Tootie Greenwood for providing us with this wonderful opportunity to give back.
