WHAT GREATER NEW ORLEANS SENIOR OLYMPICS IS ABOUT:
GNOSO is about "over-fifty" individuals enjoying a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE and having FUN than anything else! You don't have to be a Super-Jock to participate in GNOSO Events. Oh, we have the super-athletic events, but GNOSO serves ALL SENIORS - NOT JUST ATHLETES. We have an event to fit your life-style. Regardless of whether you are a Vince Breaux, who can Bench Press 450 pounds (as a 64-year-old) to our 90+ year-old participants who do Washer Pitch or play Bridge, we have something for you. The goal of GNOSO is to get Seniors off the couch, out of the doctors offices, and into a Healthy Lifestyle, whether for the exercise, or for the Social values of being around other Seniors.

 
Many THANKS to the HARAHAN CITY COUNCIL, and to MAYOR PAUL JOHNSTON in PARTICULAR for making Harahan Gym available for the Banquet as an eleventh-hour change of location. And this was the Best Banquet Ever for GNOSO!
