The Bryan Lions welcomed Beth Votaw, Special Olympics coordinator and coach for The Williams County Board of Developmental Disabilities. In 2025, 269 individuals were served by the board and 126 competed in Special Olympics events such as bocce ball, basketball and track and field events. Some athletes advance to regional, state and even national competitions. Bryan Lions Club in conjunction with other Ohio Lions are providing “Jingle Balls” to assist vision impaired individuals so they may play along better with others. These balls emit sounds to assist vision impaired athletes to locate the ball. Lions President Matt Keck (right) presented a Jingle Ball soccer ball to Votaw.
