Beach Kiwanis Club Hosts Special Olympics
by Rosemary Cummings, Chair, CPR-M Committee
Despite a windy sendoff, choppy seas and ominous clouds, the 12th Annual Special Olympics Fishing Tournament at Cape Henlopen Fishing Piers was more than successful - it ended as a beautiful Day at the Beach for over 200 attendees. Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club and Midway Lions volunteers wearing the traditional "Day at the Beach" T-shirts worked together to prepare lunches with plenty of hamburgers and hot dogs, chips, cookies and apples for all. Winners for the day were Elizabeth Avelleyra, caught first fish, Kim Strum, caught the most fish, and Robert Tingle caught the largest fish - a whopping 16.5 pounds. Program coordinator, Janie Miller, Tom Cahall of DE Surf Fishers and Bob Sabartino, A& R Bait and Tackle presented trophies to the winners. After lunch, many families took a relaxing ride on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. Kiwanis Youth volunteers, Chris Davidson and Daren Willey said the event was a lot of fun and they would be back next year. |
