Letter: Ski patrol assists at Bread & Broth

To the community,

Bread & Broth would like to express our sincerest thanks to all of the members of the Heavenly Ski Patrol for sponsoring an Adopt A Day of Nourishment on Jan. 18. The ski patrol has been sponsoring two Adopt a Days annually for the past several years, and sending great sponsor crews to help at their sponsorship dinners. Their continuing support is greatly appreciated and a very special thanks goes to Tom Burkart for his efforts to coordinate the Heavenly ski patrol’s sponsorships.

For their Jan. 18 AAD sponsorship, Burkart recruited Heavenly ski patrol members Nick Aguilar, Michelle Loubet, Craig Smith and Kyle Hannah to help the B&B volunteers with the dinner. According to Dana Tucker, the evening’s AAD coordinator, these four sponsor crew members were a lot of fun to work with and they pitched right in to make the evening special for the dinner guests.

“It was so great for us to come together to give back to the community that we live and work in,” Loubet commented after helping to serve a meat and vegetable casserole dinner.

Through their fundraising efforts, the Heavenly ski patrol donated $250 to Bread & Broth for the purchase of food for the full course dinner and fruits and vegetables for filling giveaway bags. As a nonprofit, all volunteer organization, B&B depends on generous donors and sponsors like Heavenly Ski Patrol to help the low-income population in our community. But then helping people is what the Heavenly ski patrol is all about.
