In May, the Presque Isle chapter volunteers at the spring Special Olympics. Four members of the Presque Isle chapter are in charge of coordinating all volunteers for this event and the entire chapter volunteers the day of the event, a fun and fulfilling experience. It’s been a busy year, but it has been very rewarding for both the community and the students.
