RECREATION CORNER BY BILL HUBERTY

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

We offer opportunities in several sports: Volleyball, Basketball, Track & Field, Softball, Bowling. We compete against area teams to see who moves to the State Championship in each of these sports. This opportunity is very attractive to our consumers and many take advantage of it. It is a great way to make new friends and have LOTS of fun. We also sponsor parties and Fun Days both residentially and vocationally. We have Halloween parties, Valentine’s Day parties and even New Year’ s parties on an annual basis. We utilize our community to the fullest. We go to movies, eat at local restaurants, attend area sporting events, utilize the wellness center at Iowa Lakes Community College. These are just a few things that we do that really promote community involvement.

We are not just limited to the Palo Alto County area. Horizons will sponsor bus trips to professional baseball and football games activity as well. These are very popular events. These are only a few things that we are involved in promoting positive connections with our community as well as other communities. This all goes into line with our mission statement, “Providing Better Quality of Life for People”.
