Stamping for the Special Olympics

Hi Everyone,

I’d like to share a few pictures of us volunteering for the Special Olympics and our Stamping Event to raise money to help.

Christina, Janet, Myself, Jessica and Gina. My Husband Darrell is in the back. We had a great time helping the athletes.

The Athletes arriving on the track. Each team had different colored shirts!!! They had a Color Guard and a long procession of Police Cars with lights and sirens to open the festivities.   

There were hundreds of Athletes there statewide and they were so excited. Unfortunately we got rained about 1 1/2 hours into the games but still had fun. We hung out with the athletes in the Gym to see if the rain would pass…….but it didn’t!

They were still in great spirits though.

Then this past weekend we finished up with our project of helping the Special Olympics by doing a Stamping Event for them….

Here is Janet’s Card

and Christina’s

and Lisa T’s cards

These are just three of the seven cards our participants made.

Here are some gals having fun!!!!

   

…and we had a Canadian in the house. Shirley found me on my blog and was going to be in the area and asked if she could join us. What a delight she was and look what she won!!! She won the Grand Prize Raffle of ton of Stampin’ Up! Product!!! Yay for Shirley!!!

 

Notice the name on the pink and white street sign??? Stampin’ Up! Parkway!!! How fun is that??

One last photo of some of us…..we played a bit of a joke on Jeff (General Manager of Bluewater) and called his name to be the VIP for the Day.

He really was a good sport about it and donned the fabulous Pink Boa and Tiara for part of the day anyway.

Thanks to everyone that participated to make this event  for the Special Olympics successful!!! You’re the BEST!!!

Next event….June 23rd…..want to come???
