Two Fredonia Teams Revisit With Special Olympians
FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Two Fredonia State athletic teams have resumed their involvement with Special Olympics in 2012-13.
The women's volleyball and men's soccer teams have hosted monthly bowling parties at Lucky Lanes on Bennett Road, Fredonia.
Team members cheered on the athletes, helped to serve pizza and drink, and even got to do a little bowling of their own.

Both teams adopted Special Olympics as a community service project during the 2011-12 academic years. Coaches and student-athletes attended workshops in advance of the bowling outings.
NCAA Division III schools adopted the Special Olympics as its division-wide community service initiative in January 2011.
Also, the men's soccer team again sent volunteers to assist the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Youth Organization with its annual Christmas basket project. This year's volunteers were Brodie Fenton, Sam Guider, Josh Best, Jake Persons, and Jay Dry, as well as assistant coach Dan Smith.
