| Fred and Joan Jungers |
Fred and Joan were the 2016 Special Olympics coordinator for Council 10208. Together, they arranged lodging, travel, and other logistics for 48 volunteers to keep Council 10208's Olympic Town a major hit once again for all of the athletes that competed in the State games.
The Olympic Town, featuring many games for the athletes to play between their Olympic competition, went on with great organization and enthusiasm. The volunteers, thanks to the efforts of the Jungers, had a great evening of fellowship and fun on Friday night, when a delicious meal was served.
Let us all congratulate Fred and Joan on a job well done, and all get on board with our support for their future endeavors.
