It is just thesame as the regular Olympics except the athletes have mental disabilitiesof varying effects. The welcome committeeis for the Olympians when they arrive. Our committee waits to greet them. Itis a great time. Salve students all getleadership experience, and it is a day of acceptance.
All students can appreciate thementally disabled into our world.
None specific, but I remember their smiles and true appreciation and gratitude. They are so thankful,and you can see that. We deal with a number of people like the police, color guard, and companies thatdonate as well as extended members of the Salve community. Everyone is willing toshare. For example, a man from Salve's grounds crew has volunteered to take anunpaid vacation day to help with the pre-setup.
