President’s
Message
By Sandra McAuley
The semester is coming to an end and I would like to thank
everyone who has put effort into our organization. It would not be what it is without you.
I feel we have accomplished a lot these last few months and have made IMA something for
MWSU to be proud of. I also feel that next semester will be even more fun and I look
forward to it. On behalf of all of the members I would like to wish our graduates good
luck in their future and let them know they will be missed. I wish for everyone and their
families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in January!

Special
Olympics
By Mike Young
S aturday November 13th was an exciting day at Olympia Bowling
Lanes on the Belt Highway in St. Joseph, Missouri. It was exciting because of those
special Olympians competing for trophies of honor. The Special Olympics was held there
that day. Bowling was the sport held there. Volunteers from Institute of Management
Accountants gave their time to actively participate in helping the Olympics run smoothly.
The members made sure athletes got in the right bowling lanes at the right time. They also
kept score for their lanes. At the end the IMA volunteers led their assigned athletes to
their awards. Most athletes were well prepared for the day of honor. Most seemed to know
well what they were doing. It seemed a good experience for all that participated.
