Thanks to Paul Purpura for the shot above to get our minds off of the rainy, damp, and cold weather we have been having lately. Paul spent Easter in the eastern part of the state and grabbed this shot along the oceanfront. Unfortunately we will be putting up with another 24 to 36 hours of rain before some substantial improvement moves in. However, by this weekend, we are looking at sunny skies and temps around 70°.

WINTERGREEN ADAPTIVE SPORTS RECEIVES $5,000 CHARLOTTESVLLE AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT
Wintergreen Adaptive Sports (WAS), a non-profit organization based at Wintergreen Resort that seeks to improve the lives of people with disabilities through adaptive sports, has been awarded a $5,000 grant from the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation.
Michael Zuckerman, WAS Executive Director, said the grant will help support the organization’s staff development program for its team of over 100 volunteer ski and snowboard instructors. “The level of training we provide is critical to our program’s success,” Mr. Zuckerman said,” and we’re very grateful to the Foundation for its support. National training standards for teaching adaptive snow sports are rigorous, and our proportion of highly trained staff to total instructional force rivals any program in the entire United States. We are extremely proud of this accomplishment.”
About Wintergreen Adaptive Sports
Wintergreen Adaptive Sports has grown steadily to become the largest adaptive snow sports program serving the mid-Atlantic community, offering year-round adaptive sport instruction — in skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, and canoeing — to people with disabilities. The program provides trained volunteer instructors, as well as standard and adaptive equipment, to children and adults with a wide range of disabilities, including traumatic injuries, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism, blindness, mental retardation, and paralysis-related conditions. One of the early pioneers of adaptive sports instruction for injured servicemen and women, each year WAS also hosts weekend retreats for Wounded Warriors.
