Helping Special Olympics

Knights of Columbus Maine State Council Secretary Mark Bourgoin, right, presents a $500 donation to Michele Blackstone of Central Aroostook Association and a member of the Special Olympics Area Management Team. The funds helped the CAA with the recent Special Olympics Regional Games, held May 12 in Presque Isle. The K of C donated $14,000 to 16 recipients throughout Maine, and the Central Aroostook Special Olympics was one of two in in The County. The monies come from the Program for People with Disabilities (formerly called Tootsie Roll Program) that the Knights of Columbus have coordinated for many years.  (Contributed photo)
