To the Editor:
The Polar Bear Ski Club held its annual Tent Sale on Saturday, June 8th. The members all decided that this year the proceeds would be given to Bob and Helen at the Strand Theatre to be put towards the money needed to enable them to “go digital.” We all felt that with all they have done to support us over the years that it was time to support them and show them how much they are appreciated.
We raised just over $2,600 during our one-day event.This amount will be matched by the Central Adirondack Association as part of its matching donation pledge of up to $5,000. We would like to now challenge all area non-profits and businesses to try to match or beat this amount. Let’s get creative.
This success would not have been possible without the help and generosity of: Greg and Dawn Timm for use of the site, Dave Winslow for the tent, Central Adirondack Association, Randy Yuckel and his truck, the Town of Webb High School ski team members and their brawn and trucks, the clean-up crew, the donors, Laurie Barkauskas, and all the members and their families.
Respectfully,
Diane Heroux, President
Polar Bear Ski Club
