I truly believe that one will not regret it.

Mark....my apologies. I did not pick up from your post that the only SP you worked was Special Olympics.

I have worked SO here in AZ a number of times in the last few years. Our ASA State UIC is a part of the SO State Games Planning team and organizes the entire Softball State Games for SO.

I second your opinion that everybody needs to volunteer and work Special Olympics at least once. The only time I ever had a batter give me a high five after striking out.

Great experience!
