Efforts to organize local Special Olympics Two Scugog Township women are working to organize a Port Perry Chapter of the Special Olympics. Debbie Broomer and Liz Gorr say they badly need others to volunteer to help in setting up the organization, everything from fund-raising, registration, driving and coaching. The Special Olympics local Chapter would be affiliated with the Ontario organization that provides training, fitness, recreation and competitive sports to the developmentally challenged . The motto is "Help make it Happen." Debbie and Liz first got interested in this last summer when they coached a baseball 241 QUEEN STREET PORT PERRY 985-1965 & 10 AM to 5:30 PM Tuesdays to Saturdays Closed Sundays & Mondays team of developmentally challenged players from the Scugog area. Their goal this year is to continue with the baseball team, get the local Chapter off the ground and add perhaps one more sport like soccer. They had an organization night last week at the Cartwright School, but were very disappointed when just a handful of people showed up. "We need more volunteers to help set this up," Liz told the Citizen. Anyone who can assist in any way in helping with a local Chapter of the Ontario Special Olympics can phone Liz Gorr at 986-5247.
