Letter | Help Mercer Island Special Olympics


November 7, 2012 · Updated 9:37 AM 

Mercer Island Special Olympics is looking for help. Our immediate need is that of a responsible adult or adults who can be our uniform coordinators. The applicants must pass a WSP background check and a Special Olympic Volunteer Application, and participate in a Special Olympic General Orientation.

After the above-mentioned is complete, the uniform coordinator will be in direct communication with the program coordinator and subsequently the head coaches of each sports team. MI Special Olympics has a storage unit on the South end of Mercer Island at the Mercer Island Storage Court. All MISO sports practices are at various venues on Mercer Island, with the exception of Fall Bowling, which takes place at Tech City Bowl, in Kirkland.

The love and gratitude of the athletes and their parents is extremely rewarding. Here’s an opportunity to make a difference.

Please help!

Debbie Landeck

Mercer Island Special Olympic Coordinator
