Retarded Children Aided
By Dallas WOMPI Club
DALLAS—Saturday (8) was a very busy
and exciting day for WOMPI members who
gave of their time and energy to assist in
the Olympics for the Dallas Ass'n of Retarded
Children in the Ownby Stadium at
Southern Methodist University.
The various events proved to be the highlight
of the lives of these children and their
families. WOMPI members were there by
7:30 a.m., working until 4 p.m.. distributing
popcorn. Pepsi Cola and approximately 400
balloons. The hundreds of balloons were
blown up by WOMPIs and their families
but they had a helium gas gun to assist in
this tremendous task.
Not only did the WOMPI members and
their families distribute the above items free
to the participants and spectators but they
sold hot dogs and Olympic shirts, proceeds
being donated to the DARCO.
Television newscaster Bob Gooding
served as emcee and Jesse Lopez sang the
national anthem. Pettis Norman, one of the
Dallas Cowboy football players, was there
to pin the ribbons on the winners. Clowns
from the Hella Temple Shrine amused the
children and helped make it a memorable
day for all.
WOMPI members who participated were
Glynna Farquhar. Carol Wier and her children,
Betty Owen and her family, Judy Wise
and her sister Cleo, Sammie Lee, Elsie Parish,
and Estelle Redd.
WOMPI Verlin Osborne, executive secretary
of the Dallas Ass'n for Retarded
Children, was especially grateful to the
WOMPI members who gave her a greatly
needed hand.
