100 Things Before I Go

jackiereedy — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 08:30:27 +0000

I just went through the list I posted almost a whopping two years ago. (Who knew I have been blogging that long?) Thankfully, I was able to mark a few more things off it. Yay that I am making progress… Boo that it looks like I will not be able to complete my list though… Why does this have to be your last season Oprah? Ugh!

Have fun reading.

Special Olympics: Battle of the Bats

jackiereedy — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:58:42 +0000

On Saturday, August 28th I had the privilege of covering Special Olympics Forsyth County’s Battle of the Bats tournament, which brought together families and athletes from across the South for a day of friendly competition and baseball fun.

Special Olympics aims to promote self-awareness, bring joy to its athletes and provide opportunities for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to participate in leisure activities that are often taken for granted by the average person.

To view and purchase photos, go to Jackie Reedy Photography: Battle of the Bats and sign the guest book!

Check out the slide-show and photos below for a glimpse into Saturday’s joyous event and participants:
