We have special activities such as Halloween and Valentines Dances with a DJ and food provided by the nursing students from UMHB. We have a bowling activity in Killeen and those who participate are invited to a banquet sponsored by the Elks Lodge in Temple. The American Legion in Temple sponsors a Christmas Party with hotdogs, Santa Claus and goodie bags. The Arc of Bell County also supports and sponsors the ARC Buccaneers which is our Special Olympic team. Sports we participate in are bowling, bocce ball, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, track/field, swimming and tennis. If you have a client interested in participating in Special Olympics she will need to have physical and have a current medical form on file with Special Olympics Texas. These are good for 3 years and we can give you the form. We look forward to hearing back from you and hope you'll attend a fun night for more details.

A Very Special Christmas. Thank you to the City of Temple and staff and Friends for Life for sponsoring this fun event.
