Nov 18, 2025

Area Director Kim Watford asked the panel to reimburse $800 for porta‑potty rental after an unexpected venue change during spring games; the panel added the late request to the agenda and included the reimbursement in its recommended allocations.

The full story

Kim Watford, Area Director for Special Olympics Area 21, told the Sumner County allocation panel that last spring’s games typically bring about 400 participants and are run entirely by volunteers. When their planned venue became unavailable they leased porta‑potties to meet accessibility and ADA needs; Watford asked the panel to reimburse $800 for that expense and provided receipts during the meeting.
