Local PJ Library® Sponsor Wanted.....
United Jewish Appeal Aspen Valley is looking for a co-sponsor for our local PJ Library program. Thanks to an Anonymous donor we have sponsorship for half of the $4000 needed to cover the costs for 2012 and are hoping to find someone to match this gift. After only one year, we have 74 local children receiving monthly Jewish-content books and music. The $80 cost of each one-year subscription is shared between the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and UJA Aspen Valley. This partnership allows any child in the valley, between 6-months and 8-years of age, to sign up for this wonderful program at no cost to their family.
Please consider showing your commitment to the children of our Jewish community by making a tax-deductible gift of $2000 to UJA for this program. Please contact Cindy at (970) 923-3530 for more information.

Sixteen Veterans. Seven Days.
Infinite Memories.
On Tuesday, March 6, we said goodbye to our new friends and concluded the 5th annual Golshim L’Chaim-Ski To Live program. We were honored once again to host these amazing men and women and show them how time in the mountains can bring serenity and renewal. We had soldiers on skis, snowboards, and 3 in monoskis. Two of these daring young men skied black diamond runs on their fourth day of skiing EVER! With two days of powder and 2 days of sunshine the smiles were a mile wide.
In addition to the fun on the mountain, the soldiers enjoyed, bowling, singing, and of course, eating. The volunteers and anyone who participated to make this program possible for these men and women could not help feel touched by their spirit. To stay up to date on the Golshim L’Chaim program, or to make a donation, please visit www.Ski-to-live.com
