Thank you for…
“Continuing the Tradition”
Dear Members of the Virginia Moose Association,
I am writing to say THANK YOU!
This past weekend, over 550 Special Olympics athletes and
coaches converged on the small town of Bedford, Virginia, to participate
in the 2010 Bedford Softball Tournament. As usual, the result was
another wonderful spring weekend. The rain held off, and we had
great competition, another exciting opening ceremony, and a fantastic
fireworks show. I have already received some wonderful feed back
from athletes and coaches alike, and I can honestly say that it has all
been very positive. This event is always a favorite for everyone
involved, and the common factor every year is the hospitality of the VMA.
Thank you so much for everything that you have done to make
this tournament possible. I have attended every planning meeting
for this event since last spring, and I know first hand how much time
and energy each one of you puts into this tournament. For me, it has
truly been a pleasure getting to know many of you over the past two
years. And for those of you who have been coming to this tournament for
many years, I know that our athletes feel the same way, because many of
them are on a first name basis with you.
The great thing about this tournament is that it is not only a
Special Olympics event. This is a Virginia Moose Association event
as well, and as is the case every year, all members of the VMA should be
very proud of what it has done for our athletes.
Finally, I would like to share a few things with you. I
have placed two web links below that I would like you to click on when
you get a chance.
1)
The first is to an awesome video highlight show from this past weekend.
Hopefully it brings back the same good memories for you as it did for
me. For those of you who could not attend, this will give you an
idea of what a great time our athletes had.

2)
The second link is for all you Facebook fans out there. We have
uploaded over 120 photos from the tournament onto our Piedmont Region
Facebook Page. Check out the link to view the photos, and feel
free to become a fan of the Piedmont Region in the process.

Once again, thank you all for helping to make the 2010 Bedford
Softball Tournament such a wonderful weekend. Have a great summer,
and I look forward to seeing many of you again next year.
Sincerely thanks,
Josh Walker

Piedmont Region Director
