Vail Resorts Echoing Kindness

It’s a chilly, rainy mud season morning in Breckenridge and on a day like this it’s easy to be a little grumpy. I had to get my youngest off for a early dance rehearsal and despaired slightly that a ride might be out of the question. I headed to the grocery store instead to stock up on some necessities. Still in my “woe is me” state I entered the store and was immediately greeted by Breck Ski area staff members.  Bright and cheery, they were handing out a Food Drive list asking for canned goods, toiletries and baby supplies.

Yes, there is woe in households, especially during the down season  in our towns. I immediately adjusted my attitude. How lucky am I to live in a Colorado mountain town, have a good business, healthy children, a roof over my head and food on my plate? Answer: really lucky! So in addition to the items I was purchasing I grabbed some chicken and stars, Buzz-Lightyear and Three Princess soups along with some cereal. Something I know my kids would love.

It made me feel good and I appreciated the effort of Vail Resorts Echo Team taking their time to help promote something that really does help our fellow citizens. I took a look at their website. I had thought that the Echo program was just enviornmental stewardship but it’s more. Charitable Giving and Employees in Action is also part of their efforts. I witnessed it in action and it made me proud to once again call the Colorado mountains – Home.

Thanks to all!
