    Have heard nothing but absolutely wonderful things about the host country Germany this year! ❤️ So excited for the athletes and coaches there this year! (Maybe a little extra bit of excitement for my husband who is swim coach for SO USA 😁 🇺🇲)

    For those who might be interested, the guest speaker's mother, who founded the Special Olympics, was JFK's sister. They are a fancy family.
