Special Olympics New Mexico and the New
Mexico
Law Enforcement Torch Run has announced that all Albuquerque
located Applebee's restaurants participating in the LETR
Tip-A-Cop have been rescheduled for Feb. 17th.
This change does NOT affect
the Tip-A-Cop events happening tomorrow, Jan. 27th, at the Rio
Rancho locations (HWY 528) and the two Las Cruces
Locations--both from 5pm - 9pm.
So come out and join us as officers will

Special Olympics at various Applebee's restaurants for the
annual Tip-A-Cop benefit for SONM's athletes and sports program.
Las Cruces police officers will be at the two Applebee's
restaurants located at 2501 E. Lohman Ave and at 1601 Hickory
Loop.

Thoughts from Randy-Blog
Missing Them
Whenever this job feels like work, it takes me longer than it
should, but I can usually put it together long enough to figure out
why. 99% of the time my mental and emotional state in this job is
directly proportionate to how much time I have been able to spend
with our athletes. We have not had a competition since November –
and all I can say about that is Area Poly Hockey Competition on
Saturday can’t get here fast enough.
I miss our athletes and here are just a few reasons why.

2nd annual Mayor's Indoor Track
Invitational gives athletes a unique experience
In 2010, over
200 athletes, coaches and volunteers gathered at the Albuquerque
Convention Center for the first-ever Mayor's Indoor Track
Invitational. Athletes from numerous SONM delegations were
invited to take part in what became a truly unique experience.
This February 19th from 10am - 2pm, SONM and the City of Albuquerque
partner again for the 2nd annual Mayor's Indoor Track Invitational,
and organizers are expecting another big turnout.
This year, athletes will be competing in the 25M Run, Walk and
Assisted Walk, 60M Run, Walk and Assisted Walk, 200M Run, 300M Run
and 400M Run. In addition to the races, athletes will also be
competing Standing and Running Long Jump.
