May 6th ~ Hopkinton Mini-Marathon

This is a big community day of races, prizes and fun.  Again, it's open for the entire family, but the marathon committee is reserving a time slot specifically for our team.  

 

Located at the Hopkinton High School (outdoor) track 

The day's event starts at Noon.

Our team has the 1:00-1:30pm time slot

RSVP if you'd like to race that day.   

April 21st is Community Fun Clean Up Day

Groups throughout Hopkinton will be cleaning sections of the town.  Our Special Olympic team has been assigned to the Senior Center from 8:30-10:30.   I thought this would be a good way for our team to give back to the town that has supported us so wonderfully and touch a group of people (senior citizens) that sometimes get overlooked.    If you'd like to join us (the entire family is welcome), let me know as soon as you can so we can order donuts and whatnot.

 

8:30-10:30 at the Senior Center

Bring: a dozen cookies to give to the seniors (we'll arrange them on a big platter)

We'll have plastic gloves and bags available for trash pickup.
