The 2024 Summer Olympic Summer Games were held from May 23 to May 25 in Searcy, AR. A team of 34 volunteers set up and manned the KofC Olympic Village in Searcy Arkansas. The Olympic Village is a group of tent-booths where the kids come for games and crafts between their athletic events. Our volunteers included 18 KofC men and 15 women who dedicated their time and talents to brighten the day for the nearly 2000 very special children who participated in the events. State Chaplain Father Patrick Boland said Mass on Friday evening followed by a group dinner for the volunteers, which was also attended by Special Olympics Arkansas CEO Terri Weir. Thanks to the experience and energy of the volunteers, the event ran smoothly from the set-up on Thursday to working the crafts and games on Friday and Saturday to the take-down on Saturday afternoon. 

Many Thanks to our Great Volunteers
