Last August I approached my area Special Olympics Area Director about volunteering my time. It's such a wonderful charity and the way Jakob has grown from being a part of it has been amazing.
I am now the Co-Director of Area 16 Special Olympics Arkansas. Eventually Diane (the other director) wants to retire and just be a volunteer. Until then I am learning the ropes.
So far I have attended the Area Director Conference in Little Rock, Tip a Hero, some school events and two polar plunges and it has been wonderful. The staff in the Little Rock office are so helpful. Winter Games is Feb 2-4 in Springdale, AR and they have me a room. I am catching a ride with Jakob and his class on the bus. Will be loads of fun.
