doing during the Games, such as providing
volunteers, conducting a Special Olympics Flag
Raising Ceremony, providing a Fourth Degre
Honour Guard, or carrying in the Special Olympics
flag during the Opening Ceremonies.
Councils from across Ontario can also be a part
of these Games by supporting their local athletes,
through the Adopt An Athlete or Team program,
or by promoting the Games throughout their area,
be it organizing a Special Olympics Flag Raising
Ceremony or by inviting a Special Olympian to
speak about the Games at one of your Council
meetings.
This year we introduced the position of Area
Chairman to help coordinate activities and to serve
as a liaison with Special Olympics at the local level.
I would like to thank these Area Chairmen for their
time and commitment to Special Olympics.

Knights involvement with Special Olympics
in Ontario, can be found on our website at:

Vivat Jesus.
Fraternally,
Bro. Joe Mathews,

Chairman
