Lisa Bird brings us the Lobster Dip 2018, Maine’s “ORIGINAL” Dip. This fundraiser is held in front of The Brunswick down on Old Orchard Beach. This is an awesome way to support the Special Olympics. There is a huge buffet for the participants. They have forms online and really need your support. The Special Olympics have 75 events a year, this is not including training the coach or athlete. Their Unified Sports Program teams are made up of an approximately equal number of athletes (people with intellectual disabilities) and Unified Partners (people without intellectual disabilities). You can find them on Facebook and on the web.
