Wounded Warriors Weekend...

[WILMASBOYL78]

This weekend Windham Ski Center hosts the 5th Annual Wounded Warriors Ski Weekend sponsored by The Adaptive Sports Foundation. Karen is very involved in both ski instruction and organizing the media coverage for the event. This is truly an incredible event and the vets love it!! Many of these wounded warriors come form Walter Reed hospital and for some this is their first attempt at getting back into a normal life. They have all made such huge sacrifices for us....it is great that they are getting something in return. If you are in NY watch the news for updates and I will post some pics and info over the weekend.
