TIME HAS COME

committee has been meeting on a regular basis for the past year Earlier Lucan was selected to co-host Team Ireland with Leixlip, Celbridge and Kilcock. All the preparations for the Lucan Host Town Programme of Events have been completed.

The Lucan Host Town Family Accommodation Programme has also been finalised and we are delighted to welcome one hundred and fifty athletes and coaches into fifty Lucan homes. Athletes staying in Lucan homes are competing in Swimming, Golf and Football. We are delighted that more than one hundred other Lucan residents have volunteered to assist in the various duties required during Host Town Week.

As the only Special Olympic World Games 2003 Host Town in South we are grateful for the support we have received from many sectors in the Community. From South Dublin County Council itself, the Local Trading Community, a multitude of voluntary, sporting, social and community organisations, the many thousands of individuals who have contributed in so may different ways including our very successful fundraising drive, all the Lucan Schools and also the press corps. The response in Lucan has been simply wonderful.

At this stage, only a matter of hours before the big day and the long awaited opportunity is here to put in place all that Lucan Host Town committee has worked towards, we thank all those who have joined us along the way to SHARE THE FEELING. We know that the memory of what we will celebrate in the coming days will be the most amazing experience for us, our families and our community.

As a Host Town Committee in Lucan we are committed to extending our work of promoting this project beyond this year’s games. We believe we now have a special opportunity to promote awareness of the abilities of all our citizens as against any disabilities that some people may be living with. More news on this later!

Finally a special wish of good luck to our three Lucan Olympians: Maeve Phillips & Tony Me Manus (Swimming) and Gerard Regan (Pitch Putt). We look forward to sharing in the celebration of your accomplishments during the course of the Special Olympics World Games 2003.
