It’s been a day, a week, a year of ups and downs for us all. As I write this, it’s 1 degree outside, with the wind whipping several inches of fresh snow around like a dervish — and this four days after warm rains pummeled the snowpack. The economy, too, has had its ups and downs, with a two-year gut-wrenching slide in every market, followed by a dramatic run-up in 2009. 2010 is starting out with volatility in all things… weather, politics, economy. All in all, it makes you long for firmer (or perhaps snowier) ground to stand on.
It’s gratifying to report that, in our small community, the Waterville Valley Foundation continues to find that firm ground. As of this week, well over fifty donors have stepped forward to support our annual fund, giving generously in spite of the unpredictable economy and recent market volatility. Their kindness allows the Foundation to continue supporting the things that make Waterville Valley unique. We sincerely thank these supporters for their generosity.
