One of the biggest things we have been doing this year is playing Boccia, a paralympic sport, with the elderly and the disabled at community centers and retirement homes. Every few months, we invite teams from all of our groups to the SCL office for a big competition, and they have been a wild success thus far. They play a big round-robin first round and then we narrow it down to the final four based on points, and then determine a championship through single-elimination.
For most of our participants it is an incredible effort just to be in attendance, so we give medals to all of them before we bring out sandwiches and sausages and treats. This festival was a great idea by Mac, who runs most the community outreach work we do (particularly with the disabled or elderly), and it is something I hope carries on in future years.
