Dear Valued McGeorge Customer: |
Our Partner for May.... Special Olympics Virginia is a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is to provide sport and life skills training for more than 8,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities. Their vision is to create more opportunities for genuine interaction between Virginia residents and Special Olympians in 28 area programs across the state. Get involved – Volunteer to Cheer at Summer Games! The Greater Richmond community is invited to come out and “Volunteer to Cheer” at Special Olympics Virginia’s largest annual statewide competition, the Summer Games. This June 6 & 7, more than 1,500 athletes from across Virginia will go for the gold in bowling, powerlifting, softball, swimming, track & field and tennis. And we need you to fill the stands with your enthusiasm, because it’s truly not as special without the fans. FREE Cheer Sticks for volunteers! Remember to visit www.volunteertocheer.com for detailed information on Summer Games events, venues and family friendly activities like the Olympic Festival at University of Richmond. We hope to see and hear you in the stands on June 6 and 7! Join the campaign to ban the “R” Word Negative stereotypes of people with intellectual disabilities are kept alive when people use demeaning words. Too often, people say "retard" or "retarded" without thinking about the effects these words have on others -- even if it's not meant in a mean way. If you are not sure how to refer to someone with intellectual disabilities, why not just call them by their name? That's what they really want; to be thought of as no different from you or me. You might be surprised that you actually have more in common with Special Olympians than not...many of our athletes like music, dancing, talking about sports, movies – just like you.
The McGeorge Car Company is committed to helping make Richmond a great place to work, play, learn and raise a family. With that continued commitment in mind, beginning in 2007, our dealerships will feature one, local community-focused organization each month to help raise awareness and generate support for the services that organization provides to Central Virginia residents. Through the McGeorge Cares program, we hope to raise awareness and support for these very worthwhile community partners as they continue to provide care to our most challenged neighbors and citizens. McGeorge Cares.... The David R. McGeorge Car Company has been a growing part of the Richmond community for more than 60 years. Our third-generation, family-owned and operated collection of auto dealerships are extremely proud of the relationships that we enjoy with thousands of Virginians across Richmond and throughout the region. Thank you for helping us as we celebrate more than 60 years of service to our vibrant and growing community! Rod McGeorge
