BEEP BASEBALL COMES HOME TO COLORADO
The best blind and visually impaired athletes in the world will converge on Colorado this summer. Teams from cities across the country, Taiwan and Italy will be traveling to Aurora, Colorado to compete in the 28th annual World Series of Beep Baseball 2003 being held July 30th through August 2nd.
Beep baseballs were created by TelecomPioneers. A regulation size softball is cored out and a beeper is installed inside. The first game was played in Colorado Springs. We’re excited it is back in Colorado this year for the World Series. It is a modified game of baseball that uses a ball that beeps and bases that buzz. The National Beep Baseball Association is a non-profit charitable organization that was created to organize teams, leagues, tournaments, and standardizes the rules and provides officials.
Beep Baseball is played by athletes from the age of 18 to however long you want to play. Spectators who have witnessed a beep baseball game are amazed at the speed and agility of the players. To see a blind athletes dive into the ground to stop a beeping ball or run full speed toward the sound of a buzzing base to score a run is truly exciting and amazing.
To put on a tournament of this size will take many volunteers. If you would like to experience the fun and excitement of Beep Baseball and be a part of this exciting tournament please complete the attached volunteer registration form and be a part of a great event.

New Outlook Pioneers participate in Habitat for Humanity building projects in cities throughout the U. S. These building projects are great opportunities for team building and for developing new skills. Our volunteers work along side the perspective new home owner who is required to provide a certain number of hours of "sweat equity". 
These lovable hand made bears are donated to emergency services personnel to comfort children who have experienced emotional trauma. Groups of New Outlook Pioneers gather together in workshops to cut out the patterns, stuff the bears, sew the seams and decorate each bear by hand. Tens of thousands of Hug-A-Bears have been donated to police, fire, and EMT departments across the United States. Officers often times find that a traumatized child will tell their new bear friend what occurred in the emergency situation when they are reluctant to talk to an adult. 
For over thirty years, Pioneers have repaired and refurbished the machines that allow sight impaired individuals to enjoy the printed word. In cooperation with the Library of Congress, the Pioneers repair the Talking Book machines in workshops across the country. 
New Outlook Pioneers go into classrooms across the country to teach young students about the free enterprise system. Primarily working with second and third grade students, our volunteers teach the Junior Achievement curriculum.
