Dear Special Olympics Family:

Fall Games is fast approaching!!! Special Olympics South Carolina Fall Games is in Greenville, SC on November 4-6, 2016. We are looking forward to a great Fall Games weekend. And, we hope your stay in the Greenville area is enjoyable.

Please look through your family Information Mailer for updated information. We have included a schedule of events, a map of Greenville, the surrounding areas and lots of other interesting items to make your visit a little more pleasant.

As usual, families are not included with the athlete’s meals before the Opening Ceremonies. Families are welcome to attend the Appreciation Reception hosted by the Board of Directors and then go to the Opening Ceremonies.

Also, please make reservations for the Family Dinner on Saturday evening. This meal is free; however, everyone will need a ticket to get in. You may pick up your tickets and your registration packet at the Family Registration Tent beginning Friday evening.

We look forward to seeing old friends and welcoming those of you who may be “first-timers.”

Let the Games Begin!!!
