Fred and Jean Jungers

The June 2017 Family of the Month is Fred and Jean Jungers. This family is always willing to pitch in for whatever they are needed to do for Council 10208. Last year Fred and Jean undertook a labor of love that has not only put our Council on the map nationally, but has changed the lives of so many people with special needs. I am talking, of course, about the Special Olympics and more specifically our Councils Olympic Town. They do everything from recruiting volunteers, to making sure all volunteers have a place to stay, to making sure we have a delicious meal after the Friday night celebration of the Mass. This is truly a year round job, as planning for the nexts years Olympics start as soon as the prior year is over. They truly have done an outstanding job and we hope that they remain in their posisions for many years to come.

Let us congratulate this exemplary Family for their service to our Parish, Council, Community, and State.
