Auburn Civitans support Lee County (and nearby communities) Special Olympics programs. In early March, the bowling meet was at the AMF Bowling Company in Auburn. In mid–March the swim meet was at the Opelika Sportsplex & Aquatics Center
Civitans cheered, smiled, hugged, and enjoyed the competitors, and provided snacks for everyone. We also provide bowling ramps for those who need help launching the heavy balls!
