Editor's Note: Greetings SO Brief readers! We know the joy of having an inbox filled with relevant information. That is why Special Olympics New Mexico is giving you the ability to choose what SONM information you want sent to your inbox. Beginning October 1, SONM will be publishing a new monthly newsletter. This newsletter will contain feature stories and photos of our Games, athletes, volunteers, coaches, community partnerships and more. We will still be sending out our bi-weekly SO Brief but that will turn into a “blast” that will only contain upcoming events and competitions announcements. Prior to the first monthly publication, you will be receiving a special announcement to select whether you want to receive our monthly publication, our bi-weekly blast, or both. Help Us Name Our Monthly Publication Attention SONM families! We want your help to come up with a new name for the newsletter. Please email us name suggestions along with your first and last name and what city you live in to sonm@sonm.org. The winner will receive a prize plus their name and photo listed in the following monthly issue. We can’t wait to hear from everyone and as always, thank you for being a fan of Special Olympics New Mexico!
Thoughts
from Randy - Blog On Saturday,
September 25th, the world will celebrate Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day
by honoring Mrs. Shriver’s vision, commitment and achievements. Can
you even imagine having a day named after yourself and if that were
to happen, what that day would represent? Think about that for a
minute. Four Corners Invitational Recap Over the weekend SONM athletes from 24 delegations came together to compete in the Four Corners Invitational in Farmington, NM.
