Top Line
Earlier this month I had the privilege to return to the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, a terrific event co-hosted by VA and DAV (Disabled American Veterans). Due to COVID-19, we were forced to cancel the in-person event for the past two years, but returned to Snowmass for a week of skiing, sled hockey, and other adaptive sports designed to challenge and empower our Veterans with amputations, spinal cord injuries, vision impairment, and a host of other serious conditions.
Check out this short video message (or click the image below) for a glimpse of our week at Snowmass and learn more about experiencing "Miracles on a Mountainside."
As always, thanks for reading this edition of Quarterly REMINDER!
Sincerely,
Ralph T. Gigliotti, FACHE
