Commitment, Teamwork, Integrity In This Issue Muller-Ristine Headed to Youth Olympics! Still Time to Sign Up! Business Partner of the Month - Mayo Aviation		Building Self Confidence - One Run at a Time  "My son Diego learned how to ski from your Club last winter. It was his first time on the mountain. He was very nervous at first but then he became so confident. He loved it. This confidence was reflected not only in ski school but also at home, school with friends, etc. Overall I feel he has changed so much for the better. He has improved his performance in school and I think all of this is because of his confidence that he gained. Thank you."  - AVSC parent Yeny Mendoza Helping children gain self confidence is just one of the many benefits of AVSC programs and scholarships make it possible for every interested child. Thank you to all our donors for making the dream a reality for so many. Thanks also to everyone who join us for our Ski and Snowboard Day this Wednesday on Aspen Mountain.! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and we encourage you all to come out to the base of Lift 1A to catch the World's Best Female Ski Racers this weekend racing down Aspen Mountain on Saturday and Sunday!
