Thank You, Turner!

Dear Special Olympics South Dakota Family,

I have made the tough decision to move on from Special Olympics South Dakota (SOSD). I have accepted a position with HUB International in Sioux Falls, so I am not going far. It was an honor to be a part of an amazing organization and work alongside the great staff, athletes, and volunteers.

Thank you for the memories!

Turner Gaines
