Thoughts
from Randy - Blog
One of my favorite quotes by William Shakespeare is “If you can look
into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will
not, speak then unto me.” That says to me that most of us are often
quick to presume what an outcome will be. Shakespeare’s words showed
up once again a few days ago, as I watched thirty-two Special
Olympics athletes compete in our 2010 State Rhythmic Gymnastics
Competition.
Mountain States Insurance embraces Summer Games by engaging
employees
Behind every successful Special Olympics New Mexico (SONM)
competition, there are the individuals and organizations that first
contribute generous amounts of time and money to make the Games even
possible.
They help manage the sports venues, hand out awards and cheer on the
athletes. They help provide food and drinks, serve as venue escorts
and even offer health screenings. They are the backbone of every joy
and accomplishment the Summer Games brings to an SONM athlete. And
no other organization has had the level of impact on SONM’s Summer
Games than Mountain States Insurance.
