Broyhill, Bocce Ball, and Brotherhood
Stegall Home residents and other Union County Special Olympic athletes competed in the Bocce ball state games this Saturday, October 22nd, in Candler, NC. Ronnie competed as a single and came away with the bronze medal. Carey, Mike, and Billy were part of a team and won their first 2 matches to win a gold medal, unfortunately it was later realized that we had played a team that was not in our division, so the men chose to play the correct team and came away with a silver medal. In the words of Mike…“I got 2 good medals”! That’s what counts!
The residents spent Friday night at the Broyhill campus of Baptist Children’s Homes in Clyde, NC (Sutton Cottage), so that they would not have to leave so early Saturday morning. We sincerely appreciate the kindness of Broyhill home for allowing us to stay on their campus- it was absolutely beautiful!
The residents enjoyed spending time together, going out to eat, looking at the leaves, seeing old and meeting new friends!
