2010 Jeff Kutt Award
Each year an athlete is awarded the Jeff Kutt Award by the Chittenden Area Special Olympics. In March 2010, we will again recognize an athlete who emanates Jeff's spirit of giving, helping and sharing happiness. If you would like to nominate an athlete for this award, e-mail me why you think the athlete should receive this award. All nominations will be considered and the award presented at the Annual Awards Pot Luck Dinner on Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 at OUR LADY OF GRACE PARISH HALL. The previous winners of this award are: Randy Turner, Peter Tarte, Larry Young, Dawn Daggett, Wayne Ashline, Robin Shockey, Scott Johnston and Camille Cardinal. Thank you, Claire

2010 Winter Games March 12 -14th
Athletes and parents,
On 12, 13, and 14 of March, the Chittenden Delegation will be staying at the Woodstock Inn and competing at the nearby Suicide Six ski area. I hope this message will give you the information you need, but if you have questions, please call Maggie at 524-3142, Kirk at 878-3431 or Karen at 865-3840.
Parents and guests
You are all welcome to come to the games to cheer the athletes on; the ski area is in South Pomfret, six miles north of Woodstock. Assuming the daily schedule will be the same as last year, the competition will begin at 9:00 both Saturday and Sunday morning. On Saturday the last race will end around 3:15, on Sunday around 11:45. If you want to make overnight plans, you should call the Woodstock Inn at 800.448.7900 and ask for “Friends and Families of Special Olympics” rate.
Team travel
The Chittenden delegation will travel by bus and car pool caravan leaving from the VTSO office in Williston and returning to the same place. You should be at the Special Olympics office by 2:30 PM on Friday, March 12th. We will return by 4:00 PM on Sunday, March 14th. A phone list will be brought so that we can make cell phone calls if our return time changes significantly.
Clothing
The athletes need to have clothing appropriate to being outdoors for two hours on Friday evening at the opening ceremony, for competing on Saturday and Sunday, and for the dance on Saturday night.
** BRING YOUR RED SPECIAL OLYMPICS JACKET! **
Daily Logistics and Packing
On Saturday morning before breakfast, we need to be ready to board a bus at 7:00 to go to the ski area. Athletes must have everything that they will need until 4:00 pm when we will return by bus to the Woodstock Inn. On Sunday we will need to clear everything from our our rooms by 7:00 AM, before breakfast, and car pool to the ski area. We will not be returning to Woodstock; we will leave Sunday afternoon directly from the ski area. In order to make these moves without fail, athletes will have to pack very carefully. They should bring one bag for ski/snowshoe equipment and one other bag for clothing. Please do not overpack! Bring only those items that they really need.
Friday evenings mealThe Woodstock Inn will be offering pizza by the slice. Please bring $10.00 to buy your own pizza and drink Friday evening. You may want to bring additional money for souvenirs from the Woodstock Inn or Suicide Six.
Saturday and Sunday Meals
Breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday and dinner on Saturday evening will be provided to credentialed people as part of the program.
More details
More details may be found in the Coaches Handbook on the VTSO website.
Thanks!!!
