COMPETITION
SPRING GAMES
2013 has been an unlucky year for
weather and Spring Games was no
exception! Due to heavy rains and
ooding of the North Central College’s football eld 3
days prior to our event- we had to cancel the track and
eld portion of the Spring Games. With
many people pitching in – and thanks to
Kathy Craig of Hinsdale South HS—we
were able to get last minute use of
HSHS and move the event to April 28th.
Unfortunately we did lose some
athletes and volunteers, but it was truly amazing the
number of people who were able to reschedule and
attend. Our thanks to Hinsdale South HS, our
volunteers, coaches, parents and athletes for being
exible and helping to make this event HAPPEN!
Thankfully, we were able to hold the 2013
Powerlifting competition on April 21st at North Central
College’s Merner Fieldhouse. 40 athletes competed in
squat, deadlift and bench press We had great
competition and our lifters never cease to amaze
themselves, their families, coaches and spectators! Our
thanks to Larry Mayer and his great Powerlifting
crew- Dave Beckett, Ron Krupp, Colin Cousineau, and
the North Central College wrestlers and soccer players.
FVSRA lifter Matt Riddle lifted an AMAZING
1000 total pounds at this competition-
Bench Press 240# Deadlift 400#
Squat #360
Many thanks to ALL of the volunteer who came out to
help that day and especially to some of our long time
In-Charge volunteers (10+ years) and supporters- and to
the many Knights of Columbus Councils who supported
the event through sponsorship and volunteer
manpower.

100’s of volunteer hours at our inaugural Foam Fest
(combined fundraiser of Areas 2 & 16). This unique
event raised almost $30,000 and was held on Saturday
and Sunday, June 1st & 2nd in Ottawa. There were
over 7,000 participants and it was a huge undertaking
and our volunteers were the best!! We even had participation by one of our athletes, Dusty Dickens…..way
to go Dusty!! We are hoping that this will become an
annual event-more info in future newsletters.
**MIDWEST GOLF
CELEBRITY PRO-AM**
The weather was excellent and golfers—celebrity and
amateurs—had a fabulous time while they helped to
raise over $40,000 for our area athletes. This year’s
26th Anniversary tournament was held on June 17th at
the exclusive The Royal Fox Country Club in St. Charles .
This event is one of Area 2’s largest fundraisers and
participants were generous with their auction bids. It
was an exceptional fundraiser once again for our
program. We were very fortunate to have Lisa Dent of
US99 as our hostess for the evening-and she was
AWESOME!! Matt Hart was the auctioneer for this
event and he had a record setting performance. Many
thanks to all the volunteers who worked hard to make
it successful and to the Advisory Committee who made
it happen :

ANNOUNCEMENTS
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Randy McCue has been involved as a Special Olympics
volunteer since his days as a student/athlete at Aurora
East High School. He has continued his commitment to
our athletes and has even gotten his family involved. He
has been an invaluable resource to us as the Venue
Director For Softball Throw at our Spring Games-his
expertise and ability to handle events was never more
evident than this year when he had to consolidate
because of space issues. Thanks Randy for all you have
done and hope you will continue for many more years.
