Being a cheerleader was just one of the many jobs several Club members took on when they signed up for the HPHS Special Olympics Floor Hockey Tournament. Saturday morning, amid sunshine and late summer weather, Community Projects Chair Ghida Neukirch, Frank Lomoro, Skip Jacobs, Dale Mugler, Diana Sotelo, Len Tenner President Cynthia Plouché and Phil and Carol Lazarus joined the energetic students of the Interact Club, led by sponsor Melissa Zientara.
Greeting each participant as they are the great Olympians arcing over every hurtle facing them in their lives, was just the start. Keeping them and the other volunteers, not to mention the families and friends who came to cheer, well hydrated was a serious task on a day much warmer than normal for a date on the October calendar.
Kudos to all the Olympians! and Kudos to our Members for hustling and looking sharp out there!
