WINTER WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
Wounded Warriors return to Windham this weekend!
The Adaptive Sports Foundation and Windham Mountain will welcome up to 30 soldiers injured in battle and their families to the resort this weekend.
Soldiers will enjoy ski/snowboard lessons, apres ski parties, and snow tubing. Over the course of the event, it is our hope that participants will discover that they can still participate in many of the activities they did before their injuries. ASF volunteer instructors will guide soldiers through experiences that will give them the skills to ski or snowboard and will also help them build their self esteem and confidence.
On Friday, we will be joined by Lieutenant Governor David Paterson and Congresswoman Kristen Gillibrand, both of whom will help us honor these soldiers' sacrifices.
Come on out and lend your support.

(Also, when we were there Monday we saw staff helping a couple of disabled people have fun on adaptive equipment. It certainly gives you a good feeling about the place!)
