A Message From our NEW Director!
| August 28, 2010 Dear SADSP Board, Staff and Volunteers, Marty and I have met periodically this summer to make plans for the upcoming season. A newsletter will come out in November as usual but until then we still wanted to give you an update on what’s happenin’. This fall we will have two events in October that will raise money for SADSP. First is the Ski Run Road Challenge on October 16th. Frederic Morales is the organizer of that and he will need 6 volunteers to help run the race. We are printing new brochures to go into the participant’s packets and will have a table on the patio at Ski Apache where the race ends which will have information about the program. We get a percentage of the entry fee which was over $2000 last year. Thanks to Frederic for giving us this opportunity! If you can help out that day (the race is 8am to 11am ish) let me know and I will send you more information as we get closer to race day. Frederic also has adopted the first three miles of Ski Run Road to keep clean of trash. If he ever needs help cleaning I told him I would gather up some volunteers so keep an eye out for that in the future. On October 23rd, the Roswell group (Brian Shea, Mike Kakuska and others) is holding a Golf Tournament as a fundraiser for SADSP. It will be at Spring River Golf Club in Roswell and we will receive $500 per hole from sponsors. When I get details from the Roswell team on the sponsorship we may want to ask some folks up here to sponsor. Keep the date open so we can help out, play golf, or just support the event by being there. I will send more info as I receive it. Thanks Mike and Brian! Riker Davis has been advising me in the selection and purchase of some jackets, hoodies and caps with our logo (three tracker) and motto ( denying barriers and defying gravity) to resell up at the mountain to raise some money. If approved by our board, we may have these items for the October events as well. Kudos to Riker for his time and expertise. We continue to work with Disabled Sports USA in meeting their criteria to become a chapter of their organization. We still have a few hoops ahead of us so more on that in the future. There will be a Fundraising Committee meeting on Thursday September 9th at 6pm-8pm at my house (113 Morgan Dr.). This committee so far is Dorsey, Karen, Cecelia, JoAnne and Shippen. Please, if anyone else is interested in joining us, know that you are so welcome. We will start with dinner (bring a salad) and then talk about the auction in January 2012 and brainstorm more fundraising ideas. If anyone is interested in being on the board of SADSP please let this be known. We welcome more members if qualified, however, employees of SADSP may not serve as a board member. Sincerely, Shippen Davis |
