FT. LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, Fla. – More than 250 Special Olympics Broward County (SOBC) athletes want your help celebrating a huge milestone for the group – the Grand Opening of its new permanent home on the campus of Nova Southeastern University (NSU)!
The entire community is invited to join the festivities, which are FREE and open to the public, on Sunday, Nov. 22 with a Grand Opening & 2009 Appreciation Picnic. The celebration will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on NSU’s library lawn at its main campus, 3301 College Ave. in Davie. Grand Opening Ceremonies will take place at 1 p.m., with the picnic immediately following.
“Don Taft and The Taft Foundation have helped our dreams come true in securing a permanent home for our athletes on the campus of Nova Southeastern University. This extraordinary gift has provided our athletes with resources that will enable them to be the very best they can be,” said Paul Sallarulo, chairman of Special Olympics Broward County and member of the NSU Board of Trustees. “We look forward to a great partnership.”
SOBC moved into its new office space in August, located in the Sonken East/Annex building on the NSU campus. “We have been welcomed by staff and students at Nova Southeastern University and its private preK-12 University School,” said Linda Mills, director of SOBC. “We look forward to showing off our new space.”
Special Olympics Broward County is also taking this opportunity to thank all of its athletes, families, board members, law enforcement supporters, sponsors and volunteers for all their hard work and support this past year.
Please come be SOBC’s guest for an afternoon of FREE food and fun! For more information contact Michelle Leonardo, (954) 262-2150 or mleonardo3301@aol.com
