SAVE THE DATES…. FALL SPORTS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
We have many volunteer positions to fill. Some require a specific skill set (Umpiring Softball Games), but most jobs can be taught when you arrive. You are appreciated!
TIP OF THE WEEK: SLOW DOWN
The pace at which you eat influences how much you eat, as well as how likely you are to gain weight. Studies comparing different eating speeds show that fast eaters are much more likely to eat more and have a higher body mass index (BMI) than slow eaters.
Your appetite, how much you eat, and how full you get are all controlled by hormones. Hormones signal to your brain whether you’re hungry or full. However, it takes about 20 minutes for your brain to receive these messages. That’s why eating more slowly may give your brain the time it needs to perceive that you’re full.
Studies have confirmed this, showing that eating slowly may reduce the number of calories you consume at meals and help you lose weight.
Eating slowly is also linked to more thorough chewing, which has also been linked to improved weight control.

This Sounds Fun
Pig Pals is an annual program hosted by the South Dakota Pork Producers Council. This event is intended to provide a unique opportunity to individuals with intellectual disabilities and give them the chance to show a pig at the State and County Fair level.
There are limited spots for each event, which will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.
3•21 Fun & Friends is a social group for families with young children, ages 0-10, who have a disability in the Sioux Falls area. Join our monthly meetups in the Special Olympics South Dakota Unify Center to socialize, play, and build a community. These meet-ups will be free of cost, in a setting where children can play with their peers and parents can connect. If you are reading this and wondering if this group is for you, it is! We hope you’ll come to our next meet-up.
