CEA Sponsors Special Olympics Holiday Sports Classic
 
 
The Connecticut Elks Association will again be sponsoring the Special Olympics Holiday Sports Classic to be held November 17 & 18 at the New Haven Sports Facility on Munson Street in New Haven.  Besides the sport of volleyball we are also involved in running the Special Olympics Power Lifting this year which will be a new and interesting event.

We invite all Lodges to participate and ask that they please contact your District or Lodge Chairperson. The starting time for each day is 9:00am and lunch will be provided.  Lodges are encouraged to bring their Lodge banners so they can be displayed in the courts inside of the facility.  Our goal is to have every Lodge in the state participate in this great event either Saturday, Sunday or both days; so please come early and sign-up.

Let's show these special kids who practice and play all year long in preparation for this two day event.  And who do they wait for?  The Connecticut Elks!  If Elks are not there they have no games.  Please let's not let these kids down.
