New Mexico Special Olympics

The Special Olympics took place on Saturday, May 20, 2023, what a wonderful event. There were athletes from all over the state.  An event for everyone.

We at Rising Sun Christian Community (RSCC) were able to give back to the community by volunteering to help facilitate the event.  Our church member volunteers were used to help score and referee the game of Bocce. We were truly blessed to work with the athletes.  Kinda of funny though, we may have been the referees, but they new the rules better than we.  And eventhough , we had to declare a winner in each game, we really believe they were all winners.  A great time was had by all.
