The San Juan Islands Special Olympics is excited to announce the addition of golf this summer to its list of local sports. Sign-ups will be 5:30, May 13th at Paradise Lanes Bowling Alley in Friday Harbor. Practices will begin early June at the San Juan Island Golf and Country Club and will run through the end of July, finishing at the NW regional tournament. Athletes must be 8 years and older to participate and those under 18 need to bring a parent to the meeting. This is such a wonderful opportunity for our local athletes and helps build confidence, new skills and friendships.
The Special Olympics of Washington offers a lot of support to local teams but a small amount of fundraising will allow us to supply extra equipment, team shirts and help with off-island travel. If you would like to help sponsor our local team, help coach or have any other questions about sign-ups please contact committee member Becky Mudd Bell, 370-7911 or

Last fall the Bowling Team members had a such a great time. Every member of the team medaled in their bracket during the finals held in Mt. Vernon.
