For the next three years Missoula will be the host city for Special Olympics State games.   Debbie Lawton has signup sheets on the tables at lunch and is asking Missoula Rotary clubs to volunteer for this very special event this year.  Family members are welcome to volunteer as well.  
 
Your help is needed!
 
Our club has been asked to help as ushers at the Special Olympics Opening Ceremony, Wednesday May 20th from 5:30 PM until about 8 PM. They need about 40 volunteers so please let me know if you, a friend or your family can help.  I will also need t-shirt sizes.
 
Please respond back to me at dlawton@wipfli.com or call 360-6729.  This is a fun and great event to support.
 
Thanks for your support,
Debbie Lawton
